    Great experience after Yankees game. Live music was a nice touch. Valet parking was a real plus on hot day with limited street parking. Will definitely be back.

    We came on Fathers Day hoping it wouldn’t be too noisy, just an average Italian restaurant volume. Unfortunately the music was so loud my parents and I could barely hear one another talk. We felt like we were on a cruise ship with all the strobe lights, the singer at one point have girls come up and sing with the microphone, and the loud music. The signer did not even sing Italian music, instead he sang 60s/70s music.

    I wanted to like it more than I did we did a lot of research and choose Mario's for Father's day lunch. The food was just OK the carrot salad they gave with the bread was not as tasty as other places tomato or olive tapenade. The dish I ordered I added "grilled shrimp" and they were not grilled but maybe cooked in the sauce but certainly not grilled which is the reason I added them as I love the char grill taste in contrast with the vodka sauce on pasta. Even the receipt said "grilled shrimp" My 10 year old daughter said the raviolli the cheese didnt taste fresh but I didn't taste them to confirm. It was sort of a let down to be honest and took away from our day by it not being great. I continued to read reviews after lunch as people seem to like it so maybe it was an off day. The gentleman singing was very kind and was probably the best part of the meal. It was not a place I would go back I am sorry to say.

    The ambiance was welcoming underlined as the waiter said relax , no rush. After Negroni and wine the 4 of us were relaxed. We ordered 2 lasagne,1 pasta white clam sauce and a Margarita pizza. All of the dishes were expertly served in a timely fashion. The Moscato red wine was outstanding. There are many places to eat in the Bronx, we like this one.
