VOTED BEST ITALIAN FOOD EVERY YEAR SINCE 1998!

MEZZO E MEZZO

When I moved from North Caldwell, New Jersey, to Dubuque 25 years ago, Mario’s was the first restaurant I visited. After a wonderful dinner that was just like the Italian food I grew up on; Mario came to the table and in his big, booming voice said, “How was’a your’a dinner?” I jokingly answered, “mezzo e mezzo,” which means “half and half” in Italian and is a way of saying good but maybe not so much. Mario looked at me for a few seconds and then said, “Ahh, go back’a East!”

This is what is celebrating the people we love looks like.  Marios is so blessed to have such great people in our lives. We hold such gratitude not only for colleagues over the years but also for each and every guest.  I often say Marios is a magical place, and although it began with Mario and Angelina, we continue the celebration of friendship and togetherness. As Mario said, There is always room at at the table [and in our hearts]Salute!Image attachmentImage attachment+8Image attachment

💯! We are so grateful for the impact that Mario has left on our community and the one Mario’s continues to make through the wonderful people who are making sure the same values that started it all are still at its core! ♥️ 🍝

I miss Mario’s with all my ❤️. Was in Dallas this week on business and had a salad at a local Italian restaurant that closely resembled the salad at Mario’s.

Always feel like Family at Mario's Italian Restaurant - Est. 1977❣️ Salute 🥂
