Mario and Julia Soldato began what seemed like a bold venture for the early 1960s: opening a restaurant featuring authentic Italian food in what had been a mere corn field. But, with hard work and a dream they grew more than just a business; they grew a family, a reputation and eventually a true local landmark. Now, almost 5 decades later Mario and Julia's children (Kathy, Diane & Mickey) have kept the family business and vision alive by offering amazing food, comfortable atmosphere and friendly service with the same passion and commitment to quality that their parents began in 1964.

Executive Chef Mickey Soldato, who continued his life long family culinary teachings with study at the CIA, creates seasonally flavored menus of Italian inspired regional cuisine using the freshest and highest quality local grown and purchased ingredients. From his creative daily specials, to the tried and true customer favorites, to the decadent homemade popovers & desserts there is no doubt as to why Mario's has stood the test of time: a dedication to excellence that is a family tradition.
