Mario's Restaurant Clifton 710 Van Houten Avenue, Clifton, NJ 07013

"Last weekend i hosted my daughter's baby shower here and i was thoroughly impressed. The food was outstanding, the room was clean, they have a bonus area where they have all the food stations that prevents people from tripping over each other. It was updated with nice lighting and plenty of space, it was also very reasonably priced. In the picture i posted it shows the lighting, the room where the food was and that there is plenty of room there are over 50 people in attendance."

"Great service and great environment. I loved that it was not too many people and it was peace and quiet at the place. The sever Aldo is very attentive and the food was excellent."

"Hadn’t been back here since I was a kid. 40 years ago! Used to go with my grand mother. Was in town so stopped in. Was just as I remembered it. Great old school Italian!"

"This place has gone super downhill since I remember it. I have lived in Clifton my whole life and have frequented this establishment many many times. The last time I went I went with a buddy. We sat at the bar to have a few drinks and some dinner. The service was so awful that we ended up having one drink. No one ever came over to check on us we had an order of mussels to start expecting to order dinners after but after 30 minutes of waiting to be checked on we just decided there is no way we could stay here. I must mention we were the only two people there and there were five staff members sitting in a booth talking with each other playing with their phones. Today I went in for it to go order. I asked for sausage parm, and what a mistake that was. It was a big fiasco because they said all We have the sausage and peppers but they have meatball parm on the menu so I don't know why they couldn't just take the sausage and put it with marinara and mozzarella. After a few minutes they decided to comply and I still got peppers in it and a whole lot of grease. The only request I made after that was no bread because I'm dieting. The service is really bad. The food is not good and I think I got two pieces of sausage in this thing for $13. Go somewhere else. There's many Clifton restaurants that can use the business. Very unhappy and disappointed in what has happened to this Clifton icon."

"I was in the mood for a good sandwich and tried this spot. I called in my order of the blackened chicken sandwich. When I arrived I parked in a lot nearby. I walked in and gave the lady my name and she grabbed my food. I paid and left. When I dug in the sandwich was really good. It was seasoned to perfection! I enjoyed it and had a good experience."
