Mario's is one of Arthur Avenue’s most historic Italian dining rooms, serving substantial lasagna and other red-sauce standards in a setting that feels built for big family meals. Guests choose it when they want old-school service, generous plates, and a classic Bronx Little Italy experience more than cutting-edge cuisine.
Must-Try Dishes: Homemade Lasagna, Chicken Parmigiana with Pasta, Eggplant Parmigiana
