Mario Restaurant

Went here on a dinner date and had a great time. The waiters were very attentive and the food was good. We both ordered pasta and it came out great. The portion was pretty big and filling. The interior of the restaurant was pretty and I liked that it was quiet. I didn’t expect valet considering how small the parking lot was.

ALWAYS GOOD!
I have been going to Mario for years. The service, ALWAYS GOOD. The food, ALWAYS GOOD.
Hasn’t changed in 30 years and still doing things the right way!
Never fails to make us happy!

I have been here several times and im a fan of the baked clams! I have had the lasagna, meatballs w/​linguine, shrimp diavalo, chicken parmesan, soups, bronzini all very good.

One of the best restaurants in the area. You can not go wrong with anything on the menu. The crab meat appetizer is the best around and if you are lucky enough to do a night when the meatball appetizer is a special, order it. Words can’t do it justice. I always get one of the fish specials and never been disappointed.
They are also great for catering events as they have a room downstairs that we had our wedding rehearsal in. Only thing that was better then the food was the services.
If you want an AMAZING meal, go to Mario’s. Just don’t plan on it being a quick meal as they don’t rush you out.

First time here. Great experiwnce with a very Italian staff. Food was delicious. Will certainly visit again.

7 of us gathered here for our 26^th annual best-​friend Christmas dinner. Truly awesome. From soup to nuts– fabulous. The lobster crêpe app… unreal. The staff was warm, knowledgable and very accommodating. Can’t wait to go back again!

Amazing food great atmosphere… Dimly lit and wait staff are more than attentive… Super place amazing meal. I loved all the suggestions.

Ask for your favorite meal and they will try to accommodate. Last night I had a great veal chop with a chestnut sauce that was out of this world. My wife had their red snapper which was on par with the best fish houses on Long Island.
Desserts were good and generous.
What can I say, great meal at reasonable cost

My parents favorite Italian restaurant on Long Island and it never disappoints. Linguini alla Vongole and bread lamb chops were delicious. The Pinole cookies were the perfect ending. Flying out tomorrow, but I’ll be back soon!

Very good pizza for a decent price. I love the chicken parm pizza here. I usually come here when I am looking for some sort of speciality slice. The slices are big and they don’t go light on the topping.

Always loved this place. Great ambiance and food was just so good. Never had a bad meal. They will make any pasta you want with almost any sauce. I’m a huge fan of a good pasta with a nice brown sauce! Yes, brown sauce Lolol. And list is amazing. Love this place.

Get a f – king high chair!!! The food is average at best. Not kid friendly at all!!! Many better Italian places on the island. This is not the 1970s, people bring their kids everywhere nowadays.

This was sooooo good. I went there with some coworkers and we got different dishes which we all loved. I had a seafood fettuccine that was delicious! Great pre-​dinner bread and great dessert. The staff there seemed as though they were from Italy and with some of the best service I have had in a long time. I highly recommend this restaurant. The prices are great for what you get too. They could charge twice as much although I’m glad they don’t.

When I was younger and went out to port Jefferson I always remember going here and having great dinner. I also had my bday dinner here one year

Unusual old style service. Go with friends for a relaxed long dinner, do not expect to eat and run. The service is good and set up for you to take your time. First impression was they were ignoring us but no it’s just set up that way. All 4 apps were excellent, all 4 main courses also excellent. We ordered 3 deserts and all were very good. We sat and talked and no one tried to rush us out the door.

The chicken Marsala with shrimp and the grilled salmon were delicious! Service was fast, staff was friendly, is not cheap but is totally worth it. Even the capuchin was great: made in a original machine used by baristas. I was so full I couldn’t have desert but saw a couple of tables having them and saying was delicious.
Great place.

Service was excellent with the large group of us. Waters were always filled properly. They were very accommodating. The only complaint is they did not have booster seats or a changing table in the bathroom. But, who knows how often children come in here. However, the food was delicious! We had it served family style. We had clams casino, bacon wrapped scallops, stuffed shrimp, stuffed clams, stuffed mussels. We also had penne ala vodka and pasta with broccoli and garlic. We had chicken parmesan, shrimp franchese and peppers with sausage. We ended with cake (baptism celebration) and fruit at the end. Everything was delicious! ! Will certainly come back here!

Overall amazing experience.
Excellent food, great service and reasonable price.
Strongly recommend the lobster crêpe and buffalo mozarella appetizers. All of their food is excellent.
Definitely will go back.

Mario is a classic, high end Italian restaurant. The wait staff is professional and I get the impression they’ve all worked there for years. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting and they have a large bar area for cocktails while waiting for a table. Although if you have a reservation, you rarely have to wait.
The food here is always high quality, fresh and delicious. The seafood salad is delicious. I’ve come here and have has this alone for lunch many times. Their pastas are great. I’ve had their chicken dishes, veal as well as fish. They will accommodate just about any request. If you prefer vegetables, not a problem. Don’t want that sauce on your fish? How do you want it?
I’ve not ever tried dessert here as I’m usually too full! If you’re in the Commack/​Hauppage area and want a high-​end Italian dining experience, go to Mario.

As far as vintage Italian restaurants go, this one is on the money. Good food; gruff, to the point service; and charming, classic décor make Mario’s a staple in Hauppauge.
So if you’re in the area and looking for a Italian beyond pizza and salad, Mario’s is a good options with it’s own uniquely New York Italian character.
PS: I have no idea why the have valet parking. The parking lot is very small, but I suppose it adds to the charm.
