Fantastic classic Italian restaurant... Great recommendations from the owner, service and food amazing!
Food was amazing. I never had octopus appetizer but WAO is where I will leave it. Definitely coming back to this spot again to really spread the taste buds
The place, the music and the decorations are very nice, it gives a great atmosphere. The food is so delicious, the price is somewhat affordable, some dishes are $20ish and others are around $40ish. The service in general was good, the only thing I didn't find nice is the way the waiter asked for tips. Even though the state has a percentage, customers have the right also to decline the tip, and I declined since he used the wrong words to ask for it. If he mentioned in a more respectful way of course I would have given some extra cash for the service. Of course I recommend the place but keep in mind the tip situation
Awesome vibes and great food. Came in without reservations on a Friday night and seated promptly. Theres karaoke night on fridays which made the night even better with live entertainment while having dinner. There was a DJ and fun music playing the entire night with all age groups of people there. For dinner I ordered the Zuppa Di Pesce with a glass of red Cabernet. It was very flavorful and delicious. For desert I had the lava cake. I’ll definitely return i specially on karaoke nights.
The worst place ever! Female bartender physically assaulted me. Had to call the police because of multiple injuries to my head, neck, and back. Don't ever go there unless you want to end up in the emergency room.
Nestled in a vibrant neighborhood, this Italian restaurant has quickly gained a loyal following. Diners rave about the excellent service, with staff being attentive yet unobtrusive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The food consistently impresses, notably dishes like the grouper and seafood specialties, though some have noted a few inconsistencies in flavors. The cozy ambiance, enhanced by murals and a fireplace, is perfect for gatherings, whether for family dinners or celebrations. While there are occasional hiccups, such as wait times for takeout, the overall experience leaves patrons eager to return, making it a true gem for both locals and visitors alike.

We had a good meal, but no great meal. the escaped come with an salate that is beautiful. the appetizers tasted great, but the portions were fair. when we told our waiter our entrees, I asked if I could change the side of the kartoffel on pasta, the waiter gave me the impression that it was difficult to make the substitution. he said he would try to see if the cook would do it. that was an Italian restaurant! that surprised us. I ordered the ny strip steak who was one of the specials of the day. the waiter always said it was the heavens! for it should be the heavens. it was very good, but not amazing. it was very thin and quite dry. the pasta was nothing special. overall it was good and would go back.
I took my mother here for christmas and we both enjoyed eating and excellent service. I recommend you check this place. I had the grouper and it was cooked to perfection.
The food was excellent and the restaurant was beautiful! Me and my friend had a relaxing dinner and would definitely be coming back again!

We were there for mothers day, and we had amazing experience. Food was delicious,staff went above and beyond to accommodate us,our waitress was very friendly and help us a lot. Definitely we will be coming back soon.
Had a party of 10 for a dinner birthday party yesterday. The table, chairs and booster seat was set perfectly for the guest(s) of honor. Our waitress Alexis was superb! She was very attentive, pleasant and on point with everything. The food and restaurant my family enjoyed for their first visit. It was a pleasant experience. Thanks, from NJ Need-A-Wash!
This is probably my favorite local Italian place. I always enjoy the food and the service is always excellent. I've dined in and ordered takeout and both experiences have been wonderful. Our takeout order took longer than expected (last minute decision on a busy Friday night) and the person handling takeout orders was transparent and continuously checked on our order. When we got home, the food was hot and delicious. The quality is worth the wait.
What a great find!!! We had just come from Newark Airport from a trip and were starving. We wanted to find a nice Italian restaurant on our way home, and stumbled upon Mario’s Tutto Bene on a Google search and I am so happy we did! The staff was beyond pleasant, even though we arrived at 8:30 PM on a Sunday night. The bar area was still busy and that’s where we chose to sit. We ordered stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer and Veal Parmigiana for the entree (served with salad). Dinner started out well with WARM dinner rolls and a home made mixture of olive oil, red pepper and parmesan cheese that they prepare on the table. So many restaurants nowadays skip on “warming up” the bread, and it is such a simple step that goes such a LONG way! Warm bread is the way to my heart. The Ceasar salad was delicious, but we absolutely loved the stuff mushrooms. The veal parm was excellent and it was a very generous portion, so definitely recommend sharing it! We will most definitely come back! Extra kuddos to the friendly and pleasant staff! Excellent customer service!
Great experience everything was good. Out standing service. Will recommend . I was so hungry I almost forgot to take pictures. The serving sizes are so big they have to take half home. We started with the bread and parmesano oil dip. I would go there just for that alone. We order Mojitos. We did not like those. They were strong but did not have enough mint nor lemon flavor. So they exchanged them. We all went for wine. Can not mess that up. I had the prosciutto salad. Everything in place taste so niece and fresh. The motazarell cheese taste like freshly home made. Just before they bring the main course the bring this mini lemon Gelato comb so delicious I wanted more. It was a limited menu becouse it was new year' eve. It did have a variety of dishes. We order the pasta with lobster. Niece and creamy and delicious. The best dish was the prime rib with egg noodles pasta. Just enough sauce to cover the noodles in a very delicious way. Niece and tender meat. You can tell the noodles were freshly made. We paid 50$ each and it was 4 of us.

I brought my mother here for Christmas and we both loved the food and outstanding service. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. I ordered the Grouper and it was cooked perfectly.
We had a decent meal, but not an outstanding one. The entrees included a salad, which was a nice touch. The appetizers had good flavor, but the portion sizes were moderate. When we tried to change a side of potato for pasta with our entrees, the waiter initially seemed hesitant to accommodate the request, which surprised us since we were dining at an Italian restaurant. I ordered the NY Strip steak, a special of the day, for $31. The waiter hyped it up as "heavenly," but I found it to be just okay. The steak was thin and somewhat dry, and the pasta was average. Overall, the dining experience was good enough that we would consider returning.
I highly recommend trying the veal meatball - it's enormous and absolutely delicious.
