One of my favorite spots when I'm in downtown Riverside. It's directly across the Mission Inn. Food is good and they have live music on some nights. The front desk girls can be a little on the bitchy side occasionally, however it's not that big of a deal. You don't have to deal with them once you are seated. It's a great place for company dinners as well. I've had a few there in the past several years.
Great place, great food. Very romantic! Great service 😉
Fine dining at its' absolute best. Fantastic and perfectly prepared dishes, service is impeccable. Great for a dinner with friends or romantic night out. A jewel of Riverside's downtown!
Mario's has a little something for everyone. If you walk in through the front you are warmly greeted upon entry. The ambience is rich with the sound of live music and the aroma of artisan crafted dishes that delight the palete. The bar tenders are friendly and make great drinks. The bread is amazing and made fresh by a local bakery. If you enter through the back there is different scene altogether; there is a DJ with a cozy eclectic atmosphere and dance floor. There is an outside bar with intimate table seating. Regardless of what you're into Mario's hits the spot!
My favorite restaurant in Riverside, hands down. Love the staff, the service, the food, and drinks, and the decor. They've got a winning formula. I've never had anything I don't like. My favorite happens to be the steak and the ahi. But, on the rare occasion I go off diet, the pasta dishes are out of this world.
Amazing food and service! Everything is cooked and prepared very well. I personally tried a sample of everything from the soups and salads to the pizzas and pastas to the housemade sorbets and ice cream. I was definitely impressed and will be visiting again soon.
Free-range grass-fed meat fresh fruits and vegetables fresh seafood and the menu is ordered fresh everyday make sure you try their desserts all freshly made they make their own sorbet and ice cream best cheesecake I've ever eaten . Good people, Good music AMAZING food and GREAT Atmosphere . I guarantee you try this place once you'll be back again.
Walked in with average expectations and WOW. If you want the off-the-beaten-path, one-of-kind, jaw-dropping, bomb-ass, tingling-in-your-pants, mouth-watering, pupil-dilating, off-the-chain cocktail bar. This. Is. It. Had a blast. Drinks- fantastic. Ambiance- classic. Service- orgasmic. 4 stars.
One of the classiest places in the IE, top 2 in best food and service along with Duane's. Top notch profesional staff, nice atmosphere, dining experience starts with wonderful artisan bread and butter, or a dipping oil if preferred. Can not single out anything off the menu, everything is excellent, will be pleased with anything you select, evening specials are always spectacular. Wine list is extensive by the bottle, not so much by the glass. Deserts and coffee are a must finish. Enjoy this special and delicious experience!
Went here to watch my wife's grandson play some jazz with his school band so we had dinner and this place is a very high end fancy Italian place.too fancy for me.
However the food and service was excellent. They lost star on my part because the portions were very small and too pricey for my kinda place to go out and eat. This place would be perfect for those would like to enjoy a very high class service and meal.
