Bar Mario

“5 stars to food, service and atmosphere!!!! Cozy and "moody." They've got oldies playing with vibey lighting. I was really drawn by light fixtures at the bar and the overall design of the bar. Portions were perfectly sized, flavors were SPOT ON. Pictures really don't do it justice but the brussel sprouts with arugula were really nice and cronchy. Beets tasted like a balanced appetizer dessert, not too sweet, the honey nor the Gorgonzola overpowered and the walnuts were a nice addition for texture. Focaccia was soft but also perfectly toasted with olive oil and fresh rosemary. Our pasta dishes were cooked perfectly in terms of al dente, and richness in sauce. We got the hazelnut cookie cake that just a big mic drop lol Anyways, highly recommend as their service was lovely as well”

“Our second time here, because we loved it so much last year we needed to come back. This visit was again well worth it. We were greeted promptly and cheerfully ( I didn't catch the name of our hostess but she was great!) The food and cocktails are exceptional. Risotto croquettes with sausage and gorgonzola as a starter, agnolotti ragu ( the Bolognese was velvety smooth and amazingly flavorful) and Conghiglie Cenere ( house made shells with a gorgonzola sauce and chopped olives) as our mains. We had to try the Tuscan Fries and are now addicted. Gran Madre and the Vanchiglia for our dinner cocktails, with a negroni with dessert. Everything was fantastic. Dessert was also lovely, a butter cake base with hazelnut spread and a whipped topping . (Gianduiotto) -I am taking the names from the receipt, there is no chance I could remember the spelling.- Our server, Natalie, was wonderful. She was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations and overall helped make our night amazing.”

“Drove an hour and a half to meet friends and try this spot and it was totally worth it! Great cocktails, food, wine, and service! Enjoyable atmosphere, jazzy vibe. Alessandro and other staff friendly, helpful, and professional. Loved the carciofi, squid ink pasta, fritto misto, chicken milanese. All delish! Would have loved to try the vitello tonnato but didn't see it on the menu. Very good Barbera d-Alba (would like to see more bottles in that price range). Great Vanchiglia martini! Looking forward to returning!”
