About Mario's Ristorante:
"One of the best kept secrets outside of its Gold Coast neighborhood... this authentic Italian eatery... serves food not unlike dishes you'd find in the finest restaurants in Rome at extremely reasonable prices." — Today's Chicago Woman
"This is still a picture perfect neighborhood hangout... the menu is straightforward, old fashioned Italian... simple and good... excellent marinara sauce... mussels diavolo are a big hit and everybody knows Mario, greeting old friends and making new ones...." — Phil Vettel, Chicago Tribune
"Even though it is nestled in a highrise and looks high style, Mario’s Gold Coast Ristorante exudes more warmth than a convention of Sicilian grandmas. The friendly staff aims to please, and so do the pastas, salads, and pork chops vesuvio...." — Chicago Magazine
"Linguini with white clam sauce has oodles more clams than at most places... the grilled salmon was a huge portion served with wonderful steamed spinach and mashed potatoes... Mario's has a very affordable wine list." — Eileen Howard, River North News
