I had a fantastic experience at Mario’s Ristorante in Plainview, and a big part of that was thanks to our server, Nick M. From the moment we were seated, Nick made us feel welcomed and taken care of. He was friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. Nick had great recommendations, knew the menu inside and out, and made sure everything came out just right. He checked in at the perfect times, made us feel like valued guests, and added a personal touch that truly elevated the entire meal. The food, as always at Mario’s, was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. But the standout of the evening was the service. If you’re dining at Mario’s, I highly recommend asking for Nick M. He’s the kind of server who turns a good meal into a great experience

We walked in , it was packed ,it seems a party of 20 just showed up . No worries for manager Narcis and the staff , they sat us down , and the family feeling set in . The food kept coming out , we we're able to view all the different dishes , everything looked and smelled so good . We ended up ordering a Chicken Marsala , a Zucchini Parmesan , Lasagna and Chicken Parmesan , everything was mouth watering great , When we finished , we couldn't budge , but we ordered dessert anyway. A chocolate Moose , Creme brulee cheesecake and a couple of Tartufo's . Thanks to Narcis and the staff for , not only a great meal but a great experience .

Nick M is truly an outstanding server, one of the best I've encountered ever. His warm, thoughtful, and personable approach makes our dining experiences even more enjoyable. The food here is consistently excellent, with the BBQ Chicken Pizza being a standout favorite. And the garlic knots served in the bread basket at the start of the meal are a delicious touch. Every restaurant would be lucky to have someone like Nick M on their team!

I love their pizza. I never miss going there when we visit Long Island. The Sicilian pizza is the best. Their dinners are great and they have great, friendly service.
