    Always a pleasure dining at Mario’s place. Great happy hour , good portions and their spaghetti bolognese and mushroom ravioli are a hit every time we go! Also don’t forget to try their desert trio.

    Service was spectacular, the citrus risotto was out of this world, and our waiter, Mike, went above and beyond. Wonderful overall experience.

    We had a wonderful time celebrating our beautiful daughter and her boyfriend on their birthdays at Mario’s. We had wonderful starters- beef carpaccio, tuna crudo, and the squash blossoms. My husband cannot stop talking about how perfectly cooked the venison was. We had excellent service. Mario’s Place is our favorite restaurant in Riverside. Can’t wait for our next trip!

    Took the in-laws prior to a Sinatra tribute show and it turned out to be the perfect combination for our evening. Mario’s is classy, elegant, and just overall an amazing dining experience. This is definitely on our list of places to frequent and recommend to others.

    I just moved back to the area and hadn't been to Mario's place in 8-10 years. Just as I remember it, one of the inland empire's dining institutions. My wife and I had the Mushroom Ravioli, tomato and goat cheese pasta, Mozzarella appetizer and Caesar salad. Incredible food, incredible service.
