Don't plan on hours of service. Just tried again guys LOL. This time I called at 7:30 and was told that they stopped taking orders at 7:30. Hours of operation are until 8. Poorly run.

This is a charming restaurant. It wasn't too busy on the Monday evening I visited with family. The food was absolutely delicious and well presented. I had the Tortellini which was cooked well and came in a delicious cream sauce with gorgonzola cheese. The bread that we were served before our meal was fantastic and served with and olive oil and balsamic dip. The atmosphere was nice and I saw there was a stage set up for live music but there wasn't any when I was there. I will have to come back to sample the pizza sometime.

The BBQ chicken pizza blew other pizzas out of the park, with the crunch of the crust along with the tanginess of the pizza and lattes are so smooth it is almost impossible to not like it! Along with customer service is exquisite so I highly recommend this place if you are feeling up for pizza!

Waited threw 5 songs of live band, and never was visited by a server. To be fair, the hostess was pleasant, and seated us promptly. Hate to leave bad reviews as this place seemed promising.

The pizza crust was very thin but yet not cooked all the way through, but the flavor was great. Service was good and the place is nice.

Excellent place for dinner. We ordered the spaghetti al pollo, as well as the cinque formaggi (mac and cheese style). Both were great. The live music was also a nice addition. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Tried Mario's as their website said they have gluten-free and dairy-free options! Sure enough: they do! Our server seemed young and new but was very attentive to us and knowledgeable on the menu when we had questions. Pizza was hot and crispy! My only suggestion would be more toppings and less sauce. It was really good, though. Kids coloring sheets/menus would also be great. Added bonus to this small unique spot: live music & great atmosphere!

Had two pasta dishes with my wife tonight. In both dishes, the pasta was tough. My white sauce was very thick with cheese pieces. Not creamy as one would expect.. Almost seemed like it was just heated up. Had great meals there before. The wait staff were terrific. Just an off night.

Coffee is great. The 4% credit card fee IS ILLEGAL in Minnesota and you can’t get around it lying saying on the receipt posted prices are cash discounted 325G.051 SURCHARGES ON CREDIT CARDS.

Nothing but greatness from this place! From absolutely amazing food, the friendly accommodating stuff, to Mario himself, it is truly a wonderful experience to go here every time! Mario is so talented, humble, kind, and personable!

We have ordered delivery a half dozen times and I can’t tell you how much we love Mario’s. Fast and efficient yes, but the food is so darn good! Always as we ordered it. I’m so glad we can now eat GREAT pizza again!

This is a great spot! Really cute inside, great Italian menu. We had great friendly service although most of the servers are really young so they can’t always explain dishes real well but friendly and attentive. The manager stopped by and was quite friendly. The food was great the only knock I would say would be the right wing news playing on the TV it wasn’t Fox News it was like some odd news channel that was extremely off putting. I don’t care what your beliefs are at all just odd to have it played at a restaurant.

Best BEST FOOD! We were so pleasantly surprised! Service was great… unfortunately there was nobody to answer the phone… which rang off the hook the entire 90 minutes we were there!!!!! Tons of people showed up to eat tonight… I’m guessing they were families that were in town to watch their kids’ sports?
