Food was wonderful, waitress was very friendly. Lots of seafood in both our pasta dishes. A little on the noisy side , but is was a Friday evening. will definitely go back!

We have been to Mario's over the past 10 years and have enjoyed every meal there. We have even used their banquet room for our wedding reception. I recommend Sunday brunch too!

It had all of the trappings of a tragedy. We had a close relative pass away in the morning and another was in an ICU across the state. Nevertheless, we followed through on the plan to eat at Mario's Thanksgiving buffet. It is not something that we usually do but circumstances change in life. Sans kitchen, we needed a good... More

A friend and I had a reservation at 6:30 on a Saturday night. When we checked in, we were told we'd be notified when our table was ready - there was no indication it wouldn't be imminent. We stood in the entry (we weren't interested in drinking at the bar) until 7:10, when they finally took us to our table,... More

Great Sunday brunch included omelette station, carving stations, numerous pastas and other hot items, numerous cold salads, and a wide selection of desserts. Also included was juice, coffee, and a glass of wine. All of the food was top quality and the price was reasonable based on al that was offered.

Never disappointed at Mario's - changing menu's, huge quality wine selection and well trained wait staff. Had the chicken limoncello with business partners tonight - great version of 'chicken french' over angel hair pasta. Salads are high quality greens and sides are perfect too. While there Sunday buffet will blow you away...and their cooking classes are fun - the meals... More

I've been to Mario's quite a few times, and I have never been disappointed. The restaurant is warm and cozy, the waitstaff is friendly and attentive, and the food is fresh and delicious. They even make their own pasta! It's amazing.

Me and my fiance came to Marios on Valentines day. They had a special fixed price menu that night and it was a little pricey but you expect that on a holiday. The food was fantastic and our waitress was really sweet. I would love to go back next year.

This restaurant is nothing more than the O. Garden, but with higher prices. I can't explain why it's a Rochester institution and gets such big crowds, except that people here must love food that rises slightly above mediocre. The service is just fine, except that the waitress came back repeatedly to get our wine order (they were out of our... More
