Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Awesome. Was visiting my dad and he took me there last night. Unbelievably good stuffed artichoke, great mussels in white wine sauce. We had the chicken Marsala and it was so authentic and tasty. Really good meatballs too. Good service as well. Highly recommend!

I usually order the catering sized meals to go for my small parties. There is always a ton of leftovers. The baked ziti is always a huge success. I also will order a pint of the sauce and a few pieces of meatballs or sausage with bread. It all freezes well and you can make your own spaghetti or sandwich anytime! The take out has a separate side entrance.

We've eaten here many times over the years and are never disappointed. The food is excellent and the portions are huge. Chicken Parmesan is a favorite with our family.

I found Mario's a couple years ago when I was visiting in Florida. I had an amazing Veal Parm dinner. I was also so impressed with the "magic" door opener in the ladies room. I've never been to another restaurant with this feature. I recently moved to Florida and my husband and I were driving in Ormond Beach and I though this was the restaurant I had previously enjoyed. Indeed it was. Another great Italian dinner! I like that they offer smaller portions of some choices. I had a perfect sized Lasagna with a meatball. My husband thought his Chicken Parm was exceptional. As other reviews have said, the garlic bread is to die for! Service is friendly and professional. We will be Mario's regulars now. Try this place! You won't be disappointed.

My boyfriend and I stopped in for a spontaneous dinner. We were definitely impressed. We were informed that all of the sauces and bread are homemade, which in my opinion means that it's pretty authentic. We started with the garlic bread, which is seriously fantastic! I would recommend getting half garlic and half plain, because there is lots of garlic and butter on it. I had fettuccine alfredo with chicken. It was very yummy! I was very glad that we stopped by! If you like Italian, try it out!

Mon amour de Floride and the best Italian food in Ormond Beach makes for a fabulous night. Everything on the menu is good and the service is amazing even though the best of the surly bartenders has retired. Al and Tony are missed. Gina and Tommy will make this a great experience and there is nothing better than hanging with the locals. Get the baked ziti or have a combo meatball and sausage sub. Oh! and the pizza.... If they don't sell out of dough!

My father has been raving about this place so we decided to take my niece and her b/f for dinner while they are in town (there were four of us total). We did have drinks and appetizers but I was a little surprised that our bill topped out around $200 (with tax & tip $220). What really bothered me is that both myself and my nieces boyfriend left hungry -- we both had the ravioli, small portions if you get the ravioli. Though, both my father's and niece's portions were over the top huge. Strange... Both my father and other reviewers rave about the garlic bread served with dinner. (we got two loaves, one garlic and one plain) Myself, I don't get it - tasted like the garlic bread was nothing more than garlic salt sprinkled on bread. The bread itself was freshly baked in the restaurant and good. But the 'garlic' bread is nothing special... The one other comment / recommendation - the place is in DIRE NEED of remodeling!! We were seated in the back where the ceiling tiles are about ready to fall down from age (or possibly a leaking roof). Just not worthy of a $50 / per person meal. If you do go sit in the bar area as it looked nicer than the side we sat in. To summarize, if you are in the over 60 crowd you might like this place. If you are under 50 then be prepared to be let down. I was going to give it 3 stars as I found this place to be completely average. However, Yelp considers 3 stars "A-ok" and this was not A-ok so it only gets 2 stars from me.

There were alot of outstanding things about our meal. There were a few mediocre things. The service was good. Our waiter was knowledgeable and prompt. The garlic bread was amazing!! I loved my stuffed mushrooms. I was not wild about my manicotti & eggplant special. The eggplant was under the pasta, and became a bit watery. I will be back though because everything else was great.

If you are looking for old world (i.e. Goodfella's) Italian charm with a major dose of 1950's nostalgia, then look no further than this hidden gem on ramshackle Ridgewood Ave./US1 in Ormond Beach. On a rainy Saturday afternoon, right after seeing the movie Trainwreck, we had a hankering for good Italian (caused by the ravioli scene no doubt). Pulling in to the completely packed parking lot at 4 pm, we had to ask people getting in their car what was going on. A big party in the back room, but plenty of room up front. We sat in the three-sided, secluded, wood-latticed and red vinyl booths. Metal chandeliers and wall sconces gave just the right lighting and the male, middle aged server dressed in black had just the amount of deference to make the scene complete. Glasses of chianti and Lambrusco (if you're gonna do it, then do it all the way) whet our appetite for the huge load of homemade garlic bread to follow. We are in our 30's/40's, but the Early Bird menu fit our budget and appetite. The Vodka sauce was perfect and although hubby's Shrimp Scampi was a smaller portion (as advertised) the shrimp were large and well-cooked. We will def be back for a romantic evening in style (well, a style).

The ambiance is awesome. The prices were ok. I was very disappointed with my entree. As in the past I ordered my pasta aldente and even waited additional time to have prepared. Needless to say not even close. The waitress was new however very attentive.

You either love it or you hate it. I'm not a fan. The portions are huge but I don't think the food is made from fresh ingredients. The garlic bread is only thing that is very good. No windows in the building, rather cavelike. Also saw a live roach on my last visit.
(2)Ed D.
A truly great dining experience! This was our first time here and we will be back. The best veal parm in the Daytona Beach area by far. From start to finish an enjoyable evening. Not to be missed!
(4)Tracy K.
A family run restaurant that is committed to getting everything right. The food is excellent and the service is fast and friendly. The italian food is the best that I have had outside of Italy. The eggplant parm was cooked perfectly. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone. My husband and I will return frequently whenever we are in the area. Thank you for being an amazing restaurant.

We tried Mario's on a friend's recommendation and were very disappointed. The marinara sauce was not good. In fact, it was what I would expect from a can. To me, the first test of an Italian restaurant is their marinara sauce and they failed. The side dish of spaghetti was overcooked - a major sin in Italian cooking. I won't be going back.

Food was delicious. Cook had a bad day though. We ordered the chicken and shrimp franchise over risotto. It came out minus the risotto. When asking for it the waitress returned with butter rice. Not risotto. Spoke to manager and she stated that's how (we) get it.??? Do they have it delivered to them or do they make it themselves? Minor slip up on their part but food was good. Return again a year later to give it another try. I have to say this place is disappointing at best. The last meal was mediocre and this one was disappointing. I ordered the basic Italian dish. One they should not be able to mess up. WRONG. Chicken Parmesan and lasagna with vegetables. Well the chicken Parmesan was like breaded shoe leather and the lasagna had no seasoning or taste whatsoever. Also it was supposed to come with vegetables and I received none. Again like last time. What the heck. I'm sorry but my Italian aunt loves to come to this place when we visit. I think she should have her Italian card revoked. In my game as a food consumer. It's two strikes and your out in my book. Mario your struck out. Take a seat on the bench.

Had dinner with a large group, who ordered a variety of entrees. I had the eggplant parmigiana with angel hair- the early dinner size. The portion size was just right, and the eggplant was excellent. The pasta was a bit overcooked for my liking (I prefer al dente), and the marinara sauce was just okay. My husband's chicken parmigiana was good. My son all but licked his plate of shrimp scampi clean, and my daughter and other son enjoyed their baked ziti and spaghetti. All who had the meatballs said they were good. For dessert, I ordered a cannoli, which was strangely adorned with sweetened whipped cream and green and red sugar sprinkles (a salute to the Italian flag, I guess). The other person in our party who ordered a cannoli said it was too sweet. I thought the cannoli itself was good, but wished they had left off the garnish. My parents enjoyed their espresso, and I had a nice cup of coffee. I would be remiss in not mentioning the service, which was beyond impeccable.

We go to Daytona Beach every year on vacation and we go to Mario's every time. The garlic bread is fantastic and the food is excellent. You get lots of food and we always have enough left over for another full meal.

Being an Ormond Beach native, I've been coming here for years. My parents used to take me all the time when I was younger and I still go to this day when I'm back in town. I love their meat sauce. It's great that you can order a container of it to bring home. Great for when you want to make a quick pasta meal at home. The restaurant itself is a bit outdated and the majority of its patrons are 50 years old and older. I recently went here for Valentine's Day. Other than being the youngest in the restaurant by at least 40 years, it was wonderful. The bottles of wine are very cheap compared to what you would pay in other restaurants. The salad was good, but not my favorite. I wish they would offer a caesar salad here. I decided to go with the lasagna and meatball for my dinner. It was absolutely delicious. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was equally as delicious but a little frozen. Our server was great and very attentive. Overall I had a wonderful experience.

2013 They have the best Italian bread I've ever had the pleasure to eat, baked onsite fresh daily. The crustiness exceeds any other bread, ever. Major crisp with every nuanced chew. Entrees are served with a side salad that's sort of like antipasto with an olive, half hardboiled egg and slice of delicious pepperoni, delightfully presented on a chilled metal plate reminiscent of old school Italian restaurants. I had the lasagna and it was divine. The tomato sauce is delicious, sweet and not acidic. The side of 2 meatballs that come with the entree are YUM. My friend had the eggplant parmesan and said hers was the best she'd had. It was so enormous that we took half home and shared it for lunch the next day. I wish they had this place where I live! Revisited 4 times so far in January 2014. I could eat there EVERY night! That eggplant parmesan is fabulous. Extremely thin slices of eggplant and they make it to order, so in my case it was no problem to have way less cheese on top than usual, as I'm lactose intolerant. This vacation we discovered their roasted red pepper and fresh mozzarella appetizer. It's a must with every meal now. My husband had the grouper in tomato sauce tonight and loved it. I had a few bites and it was great. The portions of everything are huge. These guys have been in business since 1956 and it has been in the same family ever since. The servers keep their jobs for years and years. The chef has been there 33 years. Our server, Jennifer, is wonderful and said it's like family there. These details speak volumes about the place. I promise you'll like it.

Love this place..step back in time..57 years...garlic bread amazing. Portions huge...been twice, planning to go back.

The shrimp scampi was so so. The flavor was good, but the shrimp had been cooked too long and were dry. The place was pretty pricy for what it was. My mother loved the veal Parmesan. This is her dish of choice, and she said it was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive.

We went here on the recommendation of a local. We were not disappointed! As a matter of fact, we ate here twice in one week! Coming from NJ and being of Italian decent, I'm always leery of Italian food outside of NY/NJ. We sat at the bar on our first visit. The bartenders were friendly, fast and fun. I had the stuffed artichoke for an appetizer and a bowl of tripe for dinner. The artichoke was the size of a soft ball! Perfectly cooked and tender with a savory bread crumb stuffing. Very much like the way my mother prepares hers (Neopolitan style). We were told by the manager that the chef/owner hand picks the artichokes at the market himself. The quality was evident. The tripe was clean, tender and flavorful, cooked in a tasty red sauce. I wiped my plate clean with the wonderfully crusty Italian bread they had put out. The second night I had scungilli over spaghetti. The scungilli was perfectly cooked and tender. I ordered it in the hot sauce which was a little mild for my taste but nothing some extra crushed red pepper didn't fix. The house salad was fresh and crisp with a nice sweet and zesty Italian house dressing. The others had Veal Marsala, Mario's Combo, Linguini with Fresh Cherrystone Clams, Roasted Sausage and Peppers, and Shrimp Scampi. Everyone finished their plates, no complaints and no leftovers even though the portions are fairly large. We will definitely eat here again.

I had to give these guys the best! Romantic, oh so relaxed, amazing food and wine and the service is consistently fabulous. The menu is hands down authentic Italian cuisine you want to keep going back for. I haven't tried everything yet but I'm working on it. If your looking to impress someone you love guys, this is the place to take her.
