Marios Place

Came for my birthday! Food was delicious. I ordered classic spaghetti. Not too saucy to ruin my outfit either! Greeted by friendly server. Seated immediately and served with grace. Parking is a bit of a pickle. Must give yourself time as it is downtown Riverside. Would return.

This was the best meal we have had in a long time! First of all, walking in the door the hosts were so welcoming. We started with the carpaccio and calamari. It was the BEST we have had. Fresh and savory with the butter sauce, and the tomato sauce with the calamari was magical!Then moved on to the special Raviolo- sumptuous rich, and fantastic to share. Salmon was cooked perfect, crisp skin and side of fingerling potatoes were the perfect balance of salty and buttery(?). Finished with a variety of desserts for all of us. Tiramisu is a martini glass, trio of sumptuous desserts.... Everything was yummy!The staff were so energetic. Our server was a perfect showman! He made the food sound as good as it taste

I had never been here before.My experience was horrible, I order steak. The steak was super burn.The inside was pink / rare and hard.I told my waiter to make another steak since that was not what I ordered.Then he called Alan. The attitude was so unprofessional of Alan. He also told me if I wanted he can cook a different guest steak to give it to me. Since my steak was given to her.At the point I was upset since I'm paying for fresh food and not other peoples plate and why would he even think tha. That was an option to fix my problem.Our table had 2 steak returned, and 2 salmon return since the cooking was not healthy to eat.I wish I would of read the reviews first before going. I ended up not having anything to eat since. I was very gross out to find out that my replacement food could be some else food. When I asked the waiter who was the guy and the answer was the restaurant manager. I had to write this review.I will never come here with my company.

We went into Mario's on Valentines Day without a reservation, simply as a walk in and lucky us, they had tables! They had a preselected specials menu and everything was absolutely delicious!!! My boyfriend and I loved everything. We drank a dirty martini and a fruit cocktail, ate lobster bisque, spaghetti with lobster tail, sea bass, and three types of desserts! The food were all delicious, no complaints!!

Absolutely amazing service, very friendly staff all around. Boschetto salas - large portion, tastyBeef tenderloin - very soft cut and well cooked, the caramelized onions and balsamico were a little strong, overall enjoyable but would've preferred less balsamicCaramel budino - unique clashing of flavors served in a coffee mug that did not blend the best - the salt on top, the stark caramel flavoring, and the tart of the creme fraiche; was a little too much happening at once

The Penne Rigate with oxtail-Chiant rogu (rich, earthy, rustic) with Gluten Free Penne was absolutely DELICIOUS. Service was Outstanding and the ambiance was relaxing.

Our waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive. Great service! The atmosphere was romantic but social, the lighting was very dim. The food was delicious, from the appetizer to the entree's! This is a great option for a date and Italian cuisine.

It's a him, Mario.Marios Place is a nice Italian restaurant out in Riverside where you can stuff yourself full if your wallet is willing.I loved their bread, I kept wanting more, so fluffy and warm and umph.Everything was great, the beef tenderloin was so nice and juicy and properly cooked to medium when asked. Can't say anything bad about that! Otherwise, the mushroom ravioli was surprising. It was quite literally a giant ravioli (singular) that was smothered in flavor. Never had ravioli that big before.The caramel budani was an amazing dessert at the end. Couldn't resist but get a cappuccino to go with it. It was a great way to finish off the night. I kinda ate too much, bloating myself, but successfully food coma-ing after too. Anyhow, what I'm saying is.... It's good Italian food in good quantity too.

This place is beautiful and their lobster bisque is SO GOOD!! Overall the service is super great too! Big place- very cute hidden gem

I came here for the mission inn lightning ceremony. I walked into Mario's and didn't know there was security then the African gentleman grabbed my shoulders and asked me if I had a reservation, i said yes and turned around and he tells me to watch my attitude. Mind you he was standing to the side talking to someone without any indication he was some sort of security. Very disappointed in this experience.Food is always on point which is why I've been coming year for almost 10 years. The rest of the staff was great.
