Mariola Italian

Back for the second time. The pizza was good. Flavorful sauce. Had the ice cream at hartzlers the day before and it's really tasty. ServiceWas good and I really wanted a shirt one of the waitress was wearing but they didn't have my size! Love the sayings.

Went to Mariola Italian in Wooster with a group of five, and to be honest, it wasn't the best experience.First, we had to wait a long time, even when we were at the top of the waitlist. Then, even though we were five, they put us at a table for four. One of us had to sit weirdly in the aisle. It was awkward.They gave us bread, but it was too little for all of us, so we had to ask for more. The bread wasn't that great, but at least the oil and balsamic tasted good.Most of us got salads, which came out quickly. I got the Italian wedding soup, but they forgot to bring it out until I reminded them during the entree. And when it finally came, it was pretty much just noodles (no liquid). I hope they don't sever that at any wedding.I got the pasta with meatballs, which was a disappointment, The sauce was bland, didn't stick to the noodles, and there wasn't much of it. Frankly, I've tasted better store bought sauces. Plus For $17, ($$$) I thought the portion was too small... I've seen bigger kid's meals at other places. The good part? They have a nice patio. It's a cool spot to hang out. The area feels so different now, and for the better!

Saturday evening- this place was recommended. Here's what we liked:* Immediate seating if we wanted the patio. Worked out fine.* great ambiance with the two fire pits on their patio. Although it was a little warm for a fire. Still cool.* House salad with dinner was perfectly fine with ingredients and dressing.*Chicken Parmesan was quite goodHere is what we thought could be better:* the Pace of the experience. Was seated immediately then waited a lengthy amount of time before being greeted. We had ordered an appetizer which came out fairly quick, then it was bred/oil then salad and dinner. We were still eating the app and salad when dinner arrived. Felt very rushed.* The pasta with the Chick Parm was lacking flavor.* Lasagna was just bland sauce and noodles. Not enough filling, sauce or baked enough.* the Spinach artichoke dip needed something as it was a bit in the bland side as well.Overall it was ok- just nothing great.

What a fantastic new Italian restaurant! Great food. Great service. A genuinely classy place. I had the lasagna. Flavorful with a wonderful chew. My friends had the spaghetti and meatballs and the salmon, both full of wonderful flavors and spices. Even the house salad was terrific.Mariola is relatively new in town, but it's really a great new addition to Wooster's growing downtown restaurant scene. Particularly with the decline in Coccia House, it shows every indication of becoming THE best local Italian place. Live music and a comfortable, well designed dining area only add to the experience. Highly recommended.

The good--a well-designed space and a welcome architectural addition to this part of Liberty St.The not-so-great--the food was lacking in taste, though the portion sizes were generous if you like 2000 calories per meal.The bad--while the staff was pleasant their sense of urgency was utterly lacking. Our entrees took about 45 minutes despite being the only three customers on site.

Grand Opening. Sat at the bar. I was served by one of my favorite bartenders Tiffany. I ordered an Italian Margarita & Mr. Mariola Pizza.The margarita was very refreshing. The pizza had a good tasting red sauce and adequate toppings. The crust was the hit for me. I believe it had a breadcrumb bottom. The entrees I saw other people eating were very large portions. The bar area was packed and no one was complaining so it's safe to say they enjoyed their food as much as I did. This was a much needed restaurant in Wooster. The menu is simple, and price point fair for the quality and amount of food you receive. When I return I will sit outside on the gorgeous patio. You must give this place a try!!

Front of house service was good. The spicy penne dish was lacking the spiciness it was supposed to have. It might have been the mildest thing I ever had while being told it spicy. Secondly, the garlic in my dish was not chopped,or minced. I had 6 whole cloves and biting into the first couple was a major turn off. The back of house cooking lacks quality.

Had been wanting to check out the new Italian restaurant in Wooster, OH and it did not disappoint. The ambiance was inviting, lots of tables which was nice as the wait was less than 10 minutes at 8pm on a Friday night. We got the the Mariola House Salad, Chicken Parmesan, and a large Pittsburgh Nappi Pizza Pie which was more than enough for four people. The pizzas are very thick - almost like deep dish. Drink prices were also very reasonable.Overall, would highly recommend and i cannot wait to come back and check out their charming patio.

Sitting in the Millersburg/Holmes County airport waiting for pax to return and the airport managers wife dropped him off a pizza from here. He offered my copilot and I a slice and we cheerfully accepted. What a good piece of pizza even cold. The banana peppers were a very nice touch. Great crust and a nice layer of cheese. He said it's a pretty new place and I wish them luck, the cold pizza was great, bet it's really good hot and stringy.

I am sorry I didn't read the reviews on yelp before trying this restaurant. I am visiting Wooster and saw the restaurant during my visit and the atmosphere was very nice. The restaurant had lots of seating available, I was seated right away and the waited 15-20 minutes before I got up and went back to the hostess stand and asked if a server was going to take my order. The hostess said oh let me get some one. The food was good, the focaccia bread was soft and tasty. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and it was really good. I saw several people come in and then leave because no one waited on them.I don't know who is in charge of managing the wait staff but there seems to be an issue with wait times and service times .
