Reviews for Mario's Restaurant in Forest City, NC
Amazing food! Seriously, don?t sleep on this. The desserts are delicious, we got one of each. If I could have eaten more we... would have gotten two of each. Thank you for the great service too! Read more
This Italian restaurant is so awesome! The owners, Alba and Mario are so sweet! Mario does all the cooking himself! The food is... terrific and made with love! It fills up fast, as everyone loves it! Read more
A real hidden gem of true Italian food. It's an older restaurant in decor, but to me, it all about the flavor. Alba, co-owner... has been our server, due to shortages in staffing. I've enjoyed the chicken piccata, baked spaghetti, and delightful glass ofMerlot. If the parking lot is empty, don't let it fool you. It's an amazing place to eat. I've traveled all around the country,and Italy, and the cuisine is true!!!! Prices are comparable, portions are plenty, and menu has something for everyone. Read more
Mario and Alba?s service and food were great. They are so polite and courteous. All 4 of us in the party enjoyed what we... ordered. We all actually finished our whole meals. Read more
I went to Mario's with my brother . I had the Eggplant Parmesan which was delicious and my brother had the Veal Parmesan which... he thought was good as well. Mario's has 2 awsome homemade salad dressing the Italian and the balsamic vinegar that you shouldtry if you happen to go there.We will definitely dine there again. Read more
Yummy flavorful food. I got the Rueben sandwich and it is was the BEST I?ve ever had. Good prices and decent portions. The... service is really slow but the waitress is really sweet. Knocked a star off for the outdated decor and dingy atmosphere. It hada weird moist damp quality to the air, and strong air freshener scent. Read more
Amazing experience on my first trip here! Baked stuffed clams and fettuccine Giovanna. Alba was so kind and attentive without... being off-putting. Will be back for sure Read more
The owner is the rudest man I have ever met. I am not generally the type to leave a review like this, but his behavior today... was unacceptable. I came with my husband and daughter after seeing good reviews online. When you look on Google it says thehours for the day but nothing about a buffet only. I came in first and saw he was serving from a buffet and asked him if youcould still order off the menu (my husband is not a buffet person). I had a hard time understanding his thick accent (which isnot my complaint) and I could tell he was hesitant but said something about talking to his wife. It didn?t help that thischildish grown woman sitting in a booth behind me was giggling at his response to me so loudly it made it harder to hear him. Iwas a little embarrassed at this point but walked down to talk to the wife who was very sweet and never rude. I tell her whatis going on and that I was unsure of what his answer was and she goes to ask him herself. He then starts yelling at me to leaveand waving his arms towards the door, all while the immature woman continues to laugh hysterically and other people werestaring. It was very embarrassing, and not the way to treat someone who drove 30 minutes to spend their money in yourrestaurant. If he would have been nice and explained that they didn?t have enough chefs to do menu food and buffet food then wewould have come back another day, but who wants to go back to a place where you are yelled at and embarrassed in front of otherpatrons?
