Word on the street
What locals are saying
Mario's earns its keep on a stretch of King Street that has cycled through several restaurant concepts — the exposed-brick room, tight but smartly laid out, hits the right notes for a weeknight date or a post-flight meal when you don't want to gamble. The kitchen leans on wood-fired Neapolitan pizza and homemade pasta, with the vodka sauce and chicken parm drawing repeat orders; the espresso martini gets name-checked more than you'd expect for a neighborhood Italian. Family-owned and priced under $30 a head, it punches above its modest footprint.
