If you're in the mood for some tasty Italian food, go here! Service was excellent, food was exceptional, everything came out very quickly, made to perfection and they handled picky eaters (kids who wanted changes to dishes) in our family flawlessly. The pizza was really good, fresh bread was great. I had the lasagna which was excellent, my wife had the gnocchi gorgonzola which I was jealous of! The pasta Alfredo was very tasty as well. I would stop here again in a heartbeat! If I lived here this place would recognize my voice on the phone, they would definitely be in the permanent rotation. I highly suggest eating here.
We saw this said “Family owned” so us 5 girls from Iowa had to stop & try. FABULOUS food!!! Very fast service! Extremely friendly owner/staff. We had Alfredo, lasagna, & bolognese spaghetti. My friend said it was also the best margarita she’d had in years. Very small place but your food comes fast n is phenomenal!
You wait outside to be seated Immediately upon being seated you are given water, bread rolls, and oil-balsamic, and menus. Food comes out at different times, maybe more family style We got pizza and pasta with vodka sauce - both were very good! Tasty food!
Mario’s restaurant has delicious food, fast service, and a clean beautiful restaurant. Upon walking up we were promptly greeted and seated. Server filled glasses with water quickly, rolls and olive oil came out quickly, and server took our order quickly. Just that itself is a huge point to make - I cannot tell you the number of restaurants who hostesses ignore you, take forever to seat you, servers who disappear for half an hour. I lived in Italy for two years - the pasta and pizza were delicious and came out hot and fresh. When we needed to head out - server promptly provided a check and checked us out. Only con was the restaurant was a bit loud, not the restaurants fault, but made it hard to hear my wife across the table from me. Other than that - great experience.
Review for Mario’s Italian Restaurant – Charleston, SC Mario's Italian Restaurant is a must-visit if you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in Charleston! The quaint and inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The warm decor and cozy setting set the perfect backdrop for our meal. We started our culinary adventure with the Frittura di Calamari, and I must say, it was fried to perfection! The calamari was tender and lightly breaded, and it paired beautifully with the tangy marinara sauce and a squeeze of fresh lemon. It was the ideal appetizer to kick off our evening. We indulged in the Spaghetti Alla Carbonara and the Pizza Crudo for our main courses. The Carbonara was an absolute delight, featuring a rich blend of pancetta, onions, and freshly grated Parmesan, all brought together with a luscious egg yolk and cream sauce. Each bite was creamy and flavorful, truly capturing the essence of traditional Italian cooking. The Pizza Crudo was equally impressive, with its fresh mozzarella, savory prosciutto, and peppery arugula drizzled with high-quality extra virgin olive oil. It was a perfect balance of flavors that left us wanting more. The only hiccup during our meal was our request for black pepper to accompany the Carbonara, which unfortunately never arrived. However, the deliciousness of the food more than made up for it! Mario’s Italian Restaurant exceeded our expectations with its fantastic food, charming ambiance, and attentive service. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Charleston, don’t miss the chance to experience this gem. We can’t wait to return for another delightful meal!
