Absolutely fantastic experience at Mario’s Italian Ristorante in Charleston! We ordered the pizza, pasta Bolognese, and an arugula salad, and every dish was phenomenal. The flavors were authentic, fresh, and perfectly prepared. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and made us feel like valued guests. Highly recommend this gem for anyone craving top-notch Italian cuisine. Five stars all the way!

We spent our last night in Charleston at Mario’s and we were not disappointed. We were greeted at the door by the owner who was welcoming and charming. We sat at the bar because they were busy. I asked for a lemon drop martini and it was so good!! My husband ordered meatballs for an appetizer and they were delicious. My husband and I ordered lasagne and let me tell you it was the best lasagne we have ever had!! The service was spot on with so much attention to the needs of their customers. We had a great time talking with the owner, his wife, bartender, and server. They made us feel special. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough and we can’t wait to come back to Mario’s on our next visit! Thank you for a great night!!

Although it’s a small restaurant it reminds me of Little Italy. The pasta is very good and if you’re a small eater then the pasta has enough that you can share it with another person. The pizza is very good considering I live in New Jersey. Definitely one of my favorite Italian places here in Charleston.

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.
