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!”
Generations of Tradition in Every Bite!
Since 1977, we have been serving authentic old-world Italian food. Our menu has choices that appeal to everyone, any age and for any occasion.

"to remake and recenter our lives around relationships, service, and purpose"
Wanted to share this beautiful reminder as many of is grind through our day. Through the years we've seen the hospitality industry change but it's core is the same.
Mario's continues to be a magical place where you can meet new friends/family, connect with old friends, and celebrate everyday life.
So have a good read, grab a friend and soak it ALL up.
Salute!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.0 CommentsComment on Facebook

The traditionally copper water-pot was called a conca in Abruzzo; it was cleaned with sand. The woman rolled a handkerchief or piece of cloth to make a soft pad, which she placed on her head before the conca. The women also carried the clothes they washed at the village fountain on their heads.
