Mario’s gets 3 stars and if I could give them an extra ½ star, I would. They have consistently good — not great — food. Their service is good. Not super responsive, but we’ve never been abandoned either. They serve beer on tap by the pitcher, and they are very good at handling larger groups. It’s a good, reliable place. Their speciality is pizza and while I’ve never had bad pizza, I’ve had a lot better pizzas than Mario’s. Ingredients are OK, crust is OK, sauce is OK. It’s perfectly average. Their salads are so so(lots of iceberg). So 3 stars it is.

The pizza is great, but if you are interested in a salad stay away from the chicken Caesar. It’s dry and the chicken is either cold or Luke warm and rubbery

If I don’t want to drive far for Italian dishes, I will definitely visit again. Again other hit-or-miss type of restaurants. Some orders are okay and some are just not worth ordering again. Clean restaurant and definitely one of neighborhood quick meal type of Italian place.

The ladies returned to Mario’s after a few months not having been. i It is still pretty good. I didn’t think the salads or dressings were great. Could have been much better. But my pasta was good and the marinara sauce tasty. Overall the ladies enjoyed the food. I must say the 2 pieces of pizza with salad is a great deal. Those pieces were huge! And good. They liked the Southwest Chicken Alfredo very much too. It’s a nice restaurant, clean, bright. Good location as well. Our male waiter worked very hard conside ring there were be of us demanding his attention!

Disappointed… ordered at 7:50pm…a small cheese pizza with jalapeños. They told me I needed to add to the order for delivery. I added breadsticks – I was told the order would be here in 30 – 45 min… no problem. Well my pizza showed up as plain cheese, and cold as well as hard breadsticks. I called and they apologized about the order being incorrect and that it was entered wrong. Just not worth it…

I can’t say enough about the excellent food and service. I highly recommend Marios. Their crust is great. The atmosphere is awesome. Try it!

Great gelato. Lived in Europe for three years and got pretty spoiled but this gelato was on par with what I was used to. My only complaint was that I shared with my wife and she ate most of it.

The original Mario’s on San Pedro is delicious and provides great and prompt service. Unfortunately these traits do not continue at their Paseo location. My family and I have visited the Paseo Mario’s a few times and every occurrence their food is mediocre at best and takes a lot longer for it to arrive as compared to the original location. Service there while mostly friendly, lacks attention to detail. They consistently get orders wrong. I have family members who are gluten sensitive and after ordering their gluten free choices have had their pasta/pizza delivered and when we repeat«this is gluten free, right?» have to have the food taken back as its not what’s been ordered. If you’re looking for great Italian food and service, head to San Pedro & Uptown because you won’t find it here.

So disappointed. We used to come here a lot, just moved back and tried again. I had just basic spaghetti with meatballs. The pasta was mushy and slimey and they dumped two cups of sauce on the«pasta.» My wife had salad, she sent it back. It was all wilted and brown. My son just had plain pasta no sauce and that was dried out and hard. We didnt have drinka and the bill was still over 40 bucks and server was still trying to charge for salad that was returned! Unfortunately, I don’t think we will go back.

Food is OK. Service and customer service are awful. My wife and I ordered a salad and 2 slices of pizza. After more than 30 minutes of waiting and no food we walked out. Told manager(Jamie) about the awful long wait and got no sympathy or explanation. We will not be returning. I suggest you go somewhere else for better food(Luca Pizza just down the street) and service.

I have been to this place a couple of times. It’s not bad. But it could be a lot better. I ordered pizza here today. I was told it would be ready in 20 – 25 minutes. 50 minutes later I rode out with my pizza. It was fine. It was unremarkable — but fine. I would have preferred that it be on time. I would have preferred that it was more memorable. But it’s no better than Pizza Hut or Dominos and costs a lot more. I keep hoping to find a great pizza place in NEABQ but so far I haven’t had much luck.

Excellent dining area, clean and the wait staff was attentive. The family really liked the pizza and my wife loved the spinach salad. I enjoyed the baked lasagna. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Awesome service and super quick. The Italian nachos are amazing and the pizza is great too. I think the Italian nachos have the green chili mixed in the cheese… definitely a must try! We sat outside on a stormy summer night and it was a really nice relaxing setting. We have been looking for our go-to place and I think this might be it :)

I’ve been here before and found the place pretty good with reasonable prices, but we went on July 22 and were horribly disappointed. I had the eggplant Parmesan and it was really bad. The eggplants were mushy and tasteless. The side of spaghetti with marinara sauce was just as tasteless. I think maybe whoever made the sauce that day forgot something. The combination of the soggy, mushy eggplants with bland marinara sauce was the perfect combination of horrible. I only at a few bites and both and that was enough for me. yuck yuck yuck.

We have ordered from them a few times before, sometimes it’s ok and other times it’s not. We thought we would give them one more try. My husband, myself and my youngest son all got sick after eating their pizza! I called a manager and told her what happened she said she would check into it. Got a phone call the next day from another guy saying basically that I was lying and that there was no way it was there food that made us sick! I guess it was just a coincidence! I told him that I wanted a full or partial refund because we both missed work from how sick we were. He said that he would not issue me a refund because he doesn’t believe that it was their food that made us sick! DOYOURSELF A FAVORANDDON’T EVEREATHERE!!! Bad food and bad customer relations!

This is the second time we have been to Mario’s after a funeral with a large group of people. They have been wonderful! I would give them 5 stars but the food is good not great. The people are great! I would like to go back when we are in the area and try them out with our 25 of my closest friends. I would highly recommend them for a large group. Their desserts are AMAZING! But not cheap :)

They don’t take reservations, but for a Saturday night the wait was not bad. We were a group of 8 and we waited less than 20 minutes. Service was good. Food was good. The only complaint was our son ordered the Godfather. Two out of the three different items was not very good. We did not like the fettuccine Alfredo, but the veal parmigiana and ravioli were tasty. The Alfredo was more like gravy. Other than that no complaints. I ordered the Goodfella and shared it with my ten year old. It consists of chicken parmigiana, beef lasagna, and stuffed shells. This is more than enough food. I really like this location. It’s still nice and new looking.

I have enjoyed going to Mario’s for the last 13 years or so. I go for the pizzas and salads. Ever since the other three other stores opened, the experience has not been consistent among the other stores. Some places have some ingredients while others don’t. The proportions and preparation vary also. The salad I had at the San Pedro location was good sized and very filling, while the one on Paseo was very small for the $ 9 price and seemed to be made differently. It was so small, it was slightly bigger than a side salad. I was still very hungry after eating this tiny salad. Love the original location, but not so much the others(yet), especially the Paseo location.
