Mario's is our long lost Italian restaurant of choice in the Queen City. After living in the northeast for several years and moving down south, we were hard pressed to find authentic Italian. When we moved to Matthews we came upon Mario's and have been happy. It's a great place for families and the staff even took the time to entertain our rambunctious kids. We've ordered take out and the quality is just as good. The only negative is that it's a little pricey.
