Party of 3 for lunch. I had the Chicken Milanese, perfectly portioned, designed for each bite to include a morsel of chicken with the arugula dressed in balsamic. Quite yummy. Bread was super fresh served with a wonderful seasoned olive oil. Service was professional, polite and attentive. Entrees took a long while to come out of the kitchen but was worth the wait. Only complaint is about the "private parking lot." Indeed there is one, but it has just 11 spots. We arrived at 12:30; the lot was full. If you're planning to try this establishment perhaps go off-peak, or be prepared to park on Chestnut Street (2 hour max) or on a nearby side street. read more

I have been to this restaurant time and time again and it never disappoints. The food is delicious and the bread and olive oil dip is divine. The white sangria is refreshing. The red sangria was not a fan favorite. With a group of 12, our party was treated so well. The service is impeccable which keeps me coming back and inviting more people. We were having a Cousins Appreciation Dinner, the staff helped this event go seamlessly without any prior notice. They were accommodating, friendly and efficient. I will happily continue an annual event here. The place is classy and charming. Will keep singing their praises to anyone looking for a great experience and amazing food. read more

excellent food staff is a[ways pleasant Ruffino the bartender is great T FOOD is constantly good and service is served prom

You get a little bit of everything here... formal, semi formal/casual, and a small high top/bar area... I'm in all different Facebook groups about food across NJ... the drunken chicken parm (vodka sauce) is THE BEST IN NJ THERES NOT A QUESTION ABOUT IT! Everything on the menu is perfect no matter what you order. Not a huge menu, but more than enough to choose from. Great for my small family and I to dine for birthdays and holidays. read more

Mario's Tutto Bene - The pic probably doesn't do it justice cuz I already scarfed down half, and I LOVE pepper (sorrynotsorry).... - Italian Near Me - Union, New Jersey

I've been going to Mario's for years. Last night 4 of us had high expectations but was so disappointed. The quality of the food was terrible. Sent my dinner back twice then gave up! Ever since the lovely owner passed away this restaurant has gone down hill fast. I hope they turn it around and I hear better news but for now, I'm done. read more

I love Mario's, it's a local gem. I grew up in Union and they have been around forever. Very good quality, fresh Italian food, and big portions. I came one night and it was trivia night (Thursday) and it was a lot of fun. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Tutto Bene in Union. I miss a good local Italian restaurant with a great food selection. Clean, friendly staff and fast service. The food taste and look was amazing! Will return many times!!! Our server, Adrian was the best. read more

All good. Service food ambience Met friends we all were happy. Easy private parking

Service is very attentive and on point. No rush between dishes. Stuff mushrooms with cream sauce was very good. We had the manicotti ricotta stuffing was nice and creamy with a nice thin pasta. Stuff flounder was full crabmeat and nice lemon sauce. Crème Brûlée for dessert was creamy and just had the right sweet taste. Highly recommend reservation and parking is limited there is street parking. read more

It's cozy, with separate rooms offering completely different vibes from an intimate, romantic Italian setting to a lively bar area with Latin music. The food was delicious, and the portions were huge. Our server was fantastic and even treated us to a delicious sorbet, which was a lovely surprise. Plus, there's a convenient parking lot right next door, making the whole experience even better. read more

Mario's Tutto Bene - SHORT RIB PAPPARDELLE - Italian Near Me - Union, New Jersey

We came here for Christmas Eve, so there was a limited menu that night. Very nice place, big and I think they even do karaoke there. I am not too familiar with Italian food so it always takes me awhile to figure out what to eat. I am not big on pasta as it usually doesn't sit well with my tummy. We were given a basket of bread with seasoned olive oil. It was good but tried to resist since I didn't want to get full off of bread haha. We also got a small house salad, it was good. I don't think the lettuce was as fresh but I still finished it haha. I got: COLOSSAL SHRIMP COCKTAIL With Homemade Cocktail Sauce MP per Shrimp Really yummy! Omg the the shrimp was sooo meaty! WOrth it, And the sauce was also amazing, we started dipping our bread in it. My friend got: LOBSTER RAVIOLI Ravioli Stuffed with Lobster Meat in a Lobster Cream Sauce I had a bite, it was delicious! My friend got: NONNA'S LASAGNA Loaded with Fresh Pork & Beef Meat Sauce Ricotta and Mozzarella I didn't try it but they devoured it haha. My friend got: CHICKEN PARMIGIANA Breaded Chicken, Marinara and Fresh Mozzarella, served over Linguini I got: SALTIMBOCCA Pan Sauteed Topped with Prosciutto, Artichoke Hearts & Mozzarella with a Marsala Wine Sauce Over a Bed of Spinach with Roasted Potato, but I think I got mashed potatoes, which is fine. This dish was really delicious. I couldn't finish it but it was great leftovers! The only thing I didn't like was that we waited a very very long time for our food. We tried to be understanding since it was a holiday and extremely busy, but would have been nice to be checked on at least. There was a point we did feel forgotten. Also, a table that came after us, did get their food before us. read more

Went here with family for dinner. Food is absolutely delicious, fresh & hot. Best calamari I've had in a long time. Other apps we tried mozzarella and stuffed mushrooms. Bread for the table comes with seasoned oil. I was full by the time my huge entree came- veal parmesan, pounded thin on the bone- best around. It lasted another meal to take home. Speaking of best around the around the tiramisu so fresh! Tables were a bit close together but didn't feel crowded. Our server was excellent. This will be my new go to for Italian. read more

I hate to give this place one star but the service was absolutely terrible. I went here on a Saturday night at 5:30 and they were pretty busy. The hostess was frazzled and said to check the bar for seats which we did. There were two seats available and set for dining. The bartender then asked if we had a reservation for the bar and we said no. She got very upset and how were we supposed to know you can reserve spots at the bar. The bartender was more rude than the hostess but neither of them were kind or particularly helpful. It would take a lot to convince me to come back here and it's a shame since I love the food. read more

Been coming here for a long time and it's always a great spot for any occasion! The food is consistently delicious and you can tell is made fresh. Atmosphere is nice but also a fun environment in the area near the bar as they have TVs as well as music on the weekends. Staff is nice and accommodating. Some of my favorites are the eggplant rollatine and mozzarella en carozza. The drinks are also delicious!! read more

This is a happy hour spot for the older people I work with. They are more comfortable in a table cloth environment. My boss treated us to End of year thank you lunch here. We shared the antipasto plate and hotsy totsy shrimp. I ordered the short ribs pasta plate. it was great, it was a big bowl of simmered meat and wide pasta. the sauce was runny like a soup but it was still really good. I went back to work for a quick nap. The staff is nice, usually during HH we request to split the meats and the veg for the antipasto because we have a 'difficult' person in our group. Yes, that's you RP. you always have to ruin my time of ingesting food with your dietary restrictions!!!! read more

The food was hardly edible. The service was mediocre. Management was rude and the chicken was pink on the inside. Take your money elsewhere!

Food was well done and the portion is good size. Good service and a nice ambience. If you like Italian and who doesn't, you should try it

Came here for a party. The appetizers and dessert were the best part. The penne vodka was good too. I got the salmon which was just alright and my husband got the chicken parm, again just alright. Great sangria! The service was perfect! Overall, it was great, might try other entrees in future. read more

The food was not appealing. The food was cold. The Cesar dressing tasted like pure mayonnaise. The penne vodka looked and tasted like Kraft macaroni. read more

Perfect service, food was on point, and great wine list/cocktails. Make this place your regular spot for great Italian food.

Mom and I attended an event at Mario's Tutto Bene a few weeks ago. We found the food exceptionally delicious. The staff attentive and pleasant. The atmosphere was perfect for the small event. I'll be going back soon. Highly recommend. read more

This place is lovely. Seemed to be run by a family. Very pleasant upon entering and everyone made sure that you were having a good time and that the meal was to your liking. Server Adrian , was very professional and paid attention to our table even though he was busy with other tables. My first time here and I would def visit again. Meal was in good portions and their bread, their dinner bread is so delicious. You must try it! I had the lobster ravioli and my friend had the chicken Alfredo (which was not on the menu, but they made it) What service!! Before your entree you get this cute little ice cream cone and the flavor is very lemony (lol) but great. I guess it's to clean the palate before your meal. Sweet touch and I totally enjoyed it. Free refills on soda for sure. The only drawback I didn't quite like was, they had a section by the bar where you could watch the game. The restaurant is separated by French looking glass door but the sound travels inside the restaurant and it was a bit disruptive, especially trying to have a quiet dinner. That section should be totally enclosed I think. Other than that it was great! They were fully decorated for Valentine's Day as well. Very cute. read more

Awesome vibes and great food. Came in without reservations on a Friday night and seated promptly. Theres karaoke night on fridays which made the night even better with live entertainment while having dinner. There was a DJ and fun music playing the entire night with all age groups of people there. For dinner I ordered the Zuppa Di Pesce with a glass of red Cabernet. It was very flavorful and delicious. For desert I had the lava cake. I'll definitely return i specially on karaoke nights. read more

We went at 7 pm on a Sunday evening. The place was packed, the party room was just letting out, and all tables in the main room were pushed together for large parties. The parking lot is small, so be prepared to park on the street. We waited at the bar about 20 mins for a table to open, we had a couple of margaritas on the rocks, very good. We split a shrimp cocktail and fried calamari both were great. She had the branzino fish special, and I had the veal chop special. Both were excellent. read more

Came in on a Friday night with my husband. The place looked pretty empty as they have many tables but the bar area was pretty busy. Husband and I were looking for a chill environment where to grab some good Italian food- craving pasta! The food was good. The stuffed mushrooms were really good. I ordered the lobster pasta and they were VERY generous with the lobster in my plate and the meatball (as you can see on my pictures) was MORE than generous...it may have a little too much on his plate for my own preference, but if you like your big portions then come on in! One thing which I'm giving less than 4 stars was the "mood" of the place. Out of nowhere, they set up for karaoke and the 80'S music they were playing was VERY loud, I felt like it got louder by the minute. A few people got up and sang which was fun to watch but to my own personal liking, this was not what I expected during a somewhat romantic dinner. The waiter offered us some gelato, IT WAS AMAZING! I'm def going back for that :) read more

Came here with a large group of friends for dinner and the meal and service did not disappoint! We started off with some appetizers such as the fried calamari (which was not overly breaded but made super fresh and crispy. We also had the antipasto which had a great selection of salty cured meats and other goodies such as olives, roasted red peppers, and mushrooms. Some other appetizers included the hotsy tots shrimp which came out as jumbo fried shrimps smothered in a spicy red sauce similar to a fra diabolo. For our entrees, we all got a variety of dishes but the most notable were the lobster ravioli -- which was to die for. It had tons of pieces of real lobster meat that did not taste frozen folded into a perfectly al dente pasta shell. The short rib pasta was also incredible tossed in a homemade parpadelle. If you are a fan of short rib, this pasta is chock full of it. The veal parmigiana is a huge portion which is pounded thin but on the bone (something you don't see all that often). While all dishes were incredible in both presentation, portion size, and taste -- I think the next time I'm back I will opt for the vinegar pork chops! Service was very attentive but not overbearing when it came to allowing us to have some time to socialize. The meal was paced really well. While everything was great, I will have to note that the meal was more expensive when expected -- be sure to specify the bottles of wine in which you order (we got a couple at $100 a bottle) just ordering Cabernet. For 8 people the bill came out to approx. $700 including appetizers, and dessert. Parking both available in the lot attached to the restaurant as well as across the street. read more

I received the worst customer service ever today on Christmas Day! I reserved a table for me and few guest. I was not given a reserved seat. The lady wearing the green blouse, and white pants was extremely rude. She did nothing to accommodate my service. I will never com back here!!! read more

I was visiting family in New Jersey and we went here for dinner. We had over 20 people and they were able to accommodate us, with a reservation. We didn't order a family style meal ahead of time but the boss made an exception for us so that's what we got. I'm not sure what my cousin ordered but the food just kept on coming. I don't think I tasted one thing I didn't like. I was so immersed in the food, my family, and the atmosphere I totally forgot to take pictures of the food! Oops. read more
