Mario's Restaurant 347 Chelsea Street, Boston, MA 02128

"Everything was impeccable from the second we walked in until we walked out the door when the night was over. We were greeted by this very nice women whom we found out later was the owner. Our waitress was wicked awesome, making very honest suggestions from the menu, as well as, the specials. The lasagna was just like mom used to make. The veal was incredible, as was all the other dishes everyone else had. We were so full BUT based on how great the appetizers and entrees were, we HAD to order dessert. Lol. The owner came over and we chatted for a while. Our daughter recently moved to East Boston only a few miles from Mario’s so we will DEFINITELY be back!!!!!!!"

"Great convenient location to Boston. Very comfy friendly place to get amazing home cooked Italian food. Staff is very friendly, helpful in suggestions. Plenty of street parking."

"Neighborhood Italian restaurant. Very good menu, classic Italian offerings - seafood, veal, chicken, pasta, Parmigiane, etc. Complimentary green salad with oil/vinegar and fresh Italian bread. Fresh Lobster ravioli was very good (4.5/5). Cheese lasagna special served with 2 meatballs, also very good. Cannoli with house-made fresh ricotta cheese filling was delicious, with a side of Cappuccino. Very satisfying. Service is friendly and professional. Wonderful older woman (I presume is the owner), and 2 gentlemen manage the room, which accommodates about 50 guests. Clientele is mix of regulars (friends/family) and everyone else. Simple atmosphere, circa 1980s or 1990s, with a lively chatter in the room. Give it a shot. And good luck with parking."

"The food is amazing! Mouth watering! Eggplant Melinzane, tender calamari, chicken with veggies dish snd the veal version. Arancini is huge with a to die for sauce!"

"This restaurant was amazing! My father got the lasagna and it was better than my shrimp scampi. The plates were presented very nicely. They give you complimentary bread and a salad. The waiter stayed on top of the water. Overall, great experience!"
