Tonight was my first time to this place and l am shocked. I can imagine how any business owner can treat his clients, but not in the way I experienced the owner of this place .. the passion on his face as he was demonstrating his food qualities was unexpected. As a meat lover who was born in restaurants business family is hard to please.. this guy did it .. I was eating my 14 oz rebeye and praying not to finish . Every bite from that sucker I have story to tell .The entertainment that I had experienced in this place was extraordinary, I would never stop visiting him every time I want to taste something imaginary and legendary.Thank you for quality and generosity!

The service and food was out of this world. The low key vibe in the restaurant that evening was great and the service and recommendations provided our male waiter was on spot. Will definitely be coming back here again, often!
Really great venue for dining. Great food and drinks, and wonderful service. I will be back for sure.

Some of the best food I've eaten since leaving NYC. The veal was delicious, the marinara sauce, Perfect! Blue cheese dressing on the salad -Deliziosa. Italian bread warmed perfectly, butter softened, NOT hard as a brick(that's always annoyed me!!). Subdued lighting, and a very nice atmosphere. Service was top notch. My only gripe is this... We sat(4 of us) at a table surrounded by 2, maybe 3 Large parties of 6+ people, and it was difficult to hear our own conversation... Didn't matter while we were eating...we were much too busy enjoying the food. Excellent work Mario's chef's, and staff. EXCELLENT WORK! This restaurant will be added to our regular, and favorite places for Italian food. They also have steaks, and burgers too. .....Till next time.Parking: Unless you are fortunate, be prepared for a bit of a walk. There is parking on the street in front of the restaurant, across the street from the restaurant, and surrounding area. It's not a difficult walk, and WORTH it!

1st Timers to Mario's Tuscany Grill in Winsted this afternoon (although I did get a takeout cheese pizza from them about a year ago, I was very underwhelmed with that pizza, needed to be cooked longer. It was just not up to my standards in a state known for its pizza). We started off with a fried calamari appetizer -- it was good. My wife had some white sangria, she wasn't impressed, the drink lacked any fruit pieces in it. LONG wait for our entrees to come out. So long, that a table nearby that had been seated at the same time as us, had already eaten and left before our meals finally arrived at our table. When my wife cut into her Peppercorn steak, she realized it was undercooked, so they took it back to the kitchen. When it came back out, it was perfect, one of the best steaks she has ever had. The sauce was also outstanding. My Salmon ala Mario was "OK", I'll be honest, I've had better salmon at other restaurants. All in all, I'd say we were a bit disappointed with our experience at Mario's Tuscany Grill this afternoon. But that's not to say we wouldn't go back, if my wife had a hankering for a Bangin' steak, I'm pretty sure she'd want to go to Mario's. Next time though, I'll order "something Italian" and see how it goes. Will write an update when that happens.
Warmly greeted by Sarah; and when I asked for a table versus a booth -- she was kind and gracious. Our server Al -- was the best of the best! Our meal was off the grid wonderful! Once again the Spedini was over the top exceptional, the calamari cooked to perfection. The two men had steaks; my husband the porterhouse special which was huge and he said delicious and perfectly prepared. Our nephew had the filet mike on and he said his was so tender and succulent. My seafood combination was oh so good; my favorite combination and with the pasta; I am always in heaven! While we were all claiming to be stuffed -- we made room for dessert. I had - just had to have tartufo. The dark chocolate covering with the dark chocolate ice cream was the perfect ending for me. My husband said the cheesecake delicious and the afagato for my nephew -- a perfect ending. You can never go wrong at Mario's -- the food is always perfectly prepared. And Al was an excellent server who made for a wonderful evening out.

Mario's is one my very favorite restaurants. It offers traditional, but also unique Italian dishes that are delicious and comforting. The entire restaurant and their staff are very welcoming and kind- the Italian decor and vibe is cozy. The food is very good! I've had a variety of dishes over time- some of my favorites are the Salmon ala Mario, Lobster Ravioli, and Chicken Neopolatana. The best appetizer by far is the Spedini! Get it! You'll want to lick the bowl. The dishes are also always beautiful and good portions. The service is always wonderful.

Wonderful family dining experience, even with our rambunctious 2.5 year old. Impressively fresh ingredients and balanced flavors. Just enough sauces, not too much. I'm happy Winsted has such a nice place.Kid-friendliness: They were happy to accommodate my little guy, even with warm milk!
Great classic Italian food. Warm and friendly atmosphere in the bar and restaurant. Attentive and professional staff. Owners are always present and visible and also friendly. I wish I could bottle the classic Italian aroma.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access. All first floor and open aisles.

Food portions went down but prices went up?
