Oh my God childhood memories inflated once tasting a highly improved quality of food. And don't judge by the dinner theater because they don't order the same food that's on the menu I don't think the food is absolutely excellent the mozzarella sticks are second to none I never had such good mozzarella sticks anywhere. And the sausage broccoli rabe try to get it at a better place

I was looking for a job, and he said, "I can deliver it to Ethiopia. Please hire me from there."

I've heard such amazing things about Mario's and went there with a friend for dinner. We both ordered Dirty Martini's. They brought them over and it had Ice in it. In over 25+ years of working in the Bar/Restaurant industry I've never in my life made, served or received a martini with ice in it! It tasted life water with olive juice, we asked for a new one without ice it was served and tasted like white wine with olive juice needless to say we didn't drink them. I ordered Cavatelli & Broccoli with a side of spinach, my friend ordered a tossed salad and Emma pie. Her salad comes out looks good, she asks for bread and our waitress asks her why? Maybe because you normally get bread with salad and pasta but we move past that. About 5 minutes after the salad comes out the Emma pie comes out, I wait a few mins thinking she was going back for my food about 5 more minutes go by and I stop and ask her about my food she tells me it will be out in 10 more minutes I'm like are you kidding me? She tells me this is how we do things! 5 more minutes go by she brings out my food and it's cold (So it's probably been sitting there for there for 10 mins) We ask for the bill and to have the Martini's removed because we couldn't & didn't drink them. She tells us no she can't take them off the bill. We pay the bill and leave. I will never go back!

Surprisingly great buffet for a dinner theater event. Everything was delicious: salad with fruit and almonds, chicken marsala, sea bass with shrimp, eggplant parm, penne vodka, Cavalli with broccoli and more!

It's your topical Italian restaurant. The only thing we found wrong was the ceiling had a leak and drip directly on to one of the tables.Dietary restrictions: Good choice of salads.

Horrible food and horrible waitress kept disappearing for 20 minutes at a time and the food rather than her put it in the appetizers first everything came all at once

Unfortunately, this is the 2nd time I have ordered Chick parm, where there was neither enough sauce or cheese! The price that we pay, should relfect the expectation of what was ordered. Very disappointing and I will no longer order in the future.

I walked in and received no recognition. When I asked for help I was told to order with the cashier. The waitresses were very novice and acted like children.

Last weekend i hosted my daughter's baby shower here and i was thoroughly impressed. The food was outstanding, the room was clean, they have a bonus area where they have all the food stations that prevents people from tripping over each other. It was updated with nice lighting and plenty of space, it was also very reasonably priced. In the picture i posted it shows the lighting, the room where the food was and that there is plenty of room there are over 50 people in attendance.

What a fantastic place. Wonderful food, great service, and unbeatable prices. Best pizza in New Jersey! Try the rigatoni bolognese. It’s life changing.
