Mario's Italian Kitchen Incorporated

Unfortunately, this restaurant is just a shadow of its former self. My wife and I decided to try it for the first time since the ownership change, and we won't be returning. The pizza had canned mushrooms, the mussels weren't fresh, and the primavera lacked any flavor, as did the Parmesan. Given the high prices, I expected much better quality. On a positive note, the portions were generous, and the French fries were tasty.

We placed an order totaling $260, and not a single item was correct. We ordered veal and received eggplant instead. The amount of oil at the bottom of that dish looked like they had emptied the fryer into it. We ordered a steakhouse salad but received no steak at all. We asked for pasta with vodka sauce and got pasta with red sauce instead. The issues just kept piling up. You would expect a restaurant to be diligent with such a large order, but that was not the case. To top it off, the chicken dish contained only one piece of chicken for $27—it's hard to believe. Never again.

The chicken parmesan lacked flavor, and the chicken itself was tough and chewy.

Want the 8 dollar chocolate cake didnt get it...bring it now waited long

As a student at Stony Brook University, this has become my favorite spot to hang out with friends. It's conveniently located in town and stays open late. The food and drinks are fantastic, and the staff is incredibly friendly.
