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!”

Wonderful food, experience, service
We've gotten pizza several times from here and it's FANTASTIC!! Recently we ordered catering food for my son's first birthday and they went above and beyone for us. We got an extra tray of food AND Lydia made us a little Italian goodie bag for us to celebrate our sons birthday. Went above and beyond! Makes me feel like family. Little does she know that my husband's family is Italian too! We will definitely containers supporting Marios! BTW, the catered food was delicious!
There's absolutely no other place in Dubuque that you can eat at that has this quality of authentic, delish food and get the service we got tonight. Our waiter was absolutely off the charts excellent. He literally could not have done anything any better than he did tonight. We eat out 2-3x a week, and I used 2 B a waitress for 8-9 years when I was younger. Our waiter tonight was totally the very best we've ever had in our 30+ years of eating out. All of our food was beyond delicious. It was basically a perfect meal from start 2 finish!!

This is what is celebrating the people we love looks like. Mario's 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 Mario's 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]'
