Mario's Trattoria

We were looking for a restaurant with a good risotto on the menu and Mario's was exactly what we hoped to find. The risotto was great along with the ravioli! The atmosphere was quiet with very attentive staff. Prices were average and not too high, about $20 a person. Check out the dessert as well, the tiramisu is amazing!

Food was yummy, but no fresh Parmesan for the pasta really threw me. The wait staff was new and learning but nice. The wine list they gave didn't match their actual stock, but we still found a good wine. We would go back.

Food tasted like from a fast food restaurant but the service was even worse. They tried to rush you out even the restaurant was pretty empty when we were there. The waitress reached over me to pull plates away from me while I was eating with my month full… the only good thing about this place is the decor is pretty and atmosphere is nice.

The pizza was very good, though not quite as upscale as the restaurant interior would suggest. My group was slightly disappointed to find that they only offer small personal pizzas and no large shareable ones. That said, the ingredients were fresh and delicious, the service was first class, and the restaurant’s atmosphere was high class without being stuffy; private, quiet, and romantic lighting. A great spot for a date. I personally felt the cocktails were slightly overpriced, but what they lacked in size they more than made up for in potentness.

The food here is amazing. You can't go wrong with anything you order. Love that it can be a romantic date night or family vibe for Italian food! What I love: Grilled wings(sweet Thai chili), calamari, Carni pizza, Cesar salad. The owner is huge sports fan so the rooftop is a great vibe for that (soccer, basketball, football). Come football season this is your go to bar if you are a cowboys fan!

I’ve gone twice and both times the service was very nice, but the food really lacking. Undercooked pizza. Bland lasagna that seemed poorly reheated with a small portion for the price. Overall difficult to justify the prices here unfortunately.

Delicious funghi pizza neopolitana and calamari! If in the area give them a try! Really friendly people too and nice space inside from what I could see.

Drinks were no bueno, unbalanced and not great. Pizza was very good but the pasta was not the best. Atmosphere was meh.

Mario's Trattoria is a really welcoming restaurant in Glover Park with tasty food and an unpretentious vibe. It has solid Italian dishes, good prices and a fun atmosphere. If you are a soccer fan, it's a fun place to watch international games and have a drink. Now that Spring is here, I hope that their rooftop bar will be open more often. Menu: pizzas and fresh pasta are their staples. I really enjoy the fettucine bolognese and the linguine carbonara. I really like their pizza because it is thin but never burned on the bottom (unlike some other pizza places that are on Wisconsin but people seem to love for some unknown reason.) Areas of growth- it would be nice if they had some more variety in small plates to share like arancini or perhaps a few more vegetarian/vegan items. Other than that, I highly recommend visiting Mario's Trattoria for a satisfying and delicious meal.

Stopped in here on a weeknight for a quick dinner. The service was friendly and efficient and I appreciated the "old school" Italian decor and atmosphere. We were pleasantly surprised to see several TVs where we could watch the football game. I ordered the chicken Parmesan. The portion was generous and the breading on the chicken was crispy and flavorful. The pasta was fine - nothing mind blowing, and it paired nicely with the chicken. Beer and wine options were available-- as well as a full bar for sitting and congregating.

As always, food is delicious. Making my way through the menu and the chicken piccata is the most perfect buttery lemony dish. So yummy! Don't want to do a whole order of chicken parm? Get the chicken parm pizza!

Unbelievable service!! Always checking to make sure your good. Food fabulous and filling!! Must check for specials they have daily specials

The pasta was delicious. I think handmade. Overall the food was great. and friendly service! Loved the rooftop space.

I hadn't been here for a while and it has improved. I ordered a glass of malbec and the humus. The malbec was good and fruity and well-priced at 10.00 a glass. The humus really surprised. The presentation of the humus was great with crispy bread triangles, on a bed of olive oil topped with a tomato and onion salsa. I was really impressed since this was a very simple order. Another person came into the place and sat at the bar while his pizza was made literally right in front of him. He ordered ahead and came in to pick up his order. The service was very good and the waitress gave me some water without my asking for it. The music was too loud. My ears began to hurt after a while so I removed my cochlear implant to get some quiet. During the summer, the rooftop is a really hot spot. People love going there since it is the only place in the area with a rooftop.

Great pizzas and super kind staff. Got to the restaurant near their closing time and they still sat us for a meal. Very homey and warm atmosphere too.

Great pizza and rooftop!! Food is very good and the staff is nice. Great go to spot..

Delicious delicious delicious Fresh ingredients. Perfect crust Love the Italian atmosphere Perfect alternative to 2 Amy's

Walked past this place on my walk home. It looks so different inside than Surfside! I beat their dinner crowd which seemed like mostly neighborhood folks. My pizza was very good and they had a great drink selection including numerous mules, spritzes, and espresso martinis. The patio was closed for rain so I'll definitely have to come back to check that out.

Excellent wood fired pizza, we ordered the funghi pizza, the crust was the perfect consistency, a crisp and yet slightly chewy Neapolitan pizza. The calamari was still soft on the inside with a lightly breaded cover, and the homemade marina sauce that came with it left me wanting more. Got the home made linguini carbonara which had excellent home made pasta but just a little more egg than cheese ratio than I would have preferred but still delicious. My Texas mule was perfect. Can't wait to come back on the weekend when the rooftop is open. Love that this place is now open, in an area that so desperately needed a good Italian place! Also say hi to father Mario and son Michael, and strong duo, and what really makes the place so special

100% recommend! Staff are super friendly and food is delicious! The environment is perfect as well!

Man this place was AWESOME!!! A place dedicated to Dallas Cowboy fans!!! Saw the Commandeers get their butts whipped. And the food was amazing. I had the Carni pizza that was cooked to perfection! Def will be coming back to this place!!!

Amazing! The capellini pomodoro is worthy of Coco Pazzo in New York - absolutely fantastic and the rooftop is a literal breath of fresh air! Not to mention the charming waitstaff - needless to say, I'll be back!

NEVER AGAIN! I went re-opening night for the play off game. And fell in love! So I brought my mom and brother for mother's days. My mom says "wow this pizza is so good...the sauce it's just so authentic". Both times I enjoy the food. But service means everything. And my most recent visit they left a very fishy taste in my mouth....between 10:34pm and 10:42pm (which is just enough time for me to walk past the watermelon mojitos rooftop bar open chalkboard sign up to my dimly lit apartment to put away groceries and put on my Dallas Cowboys necklace back downstairs and through the back alley) the restaurant closed as I walked up. All the patrons are still inside and upstairs and I really wanted to check out the roof top since it's open. But that's no longer a possibility. They have closed. So I ask "what time" and he says "oh hours are flexible" . Then he asks "are you looking to meet someone" My response "would it be possible for me to order something to eat" . Immediate response is "kitchen's closed" . I could've stayed home. I left home to check out a place I thought would be my neighborhood jaunt. I risked catching COVID by leaving home to go to this place and they weren't very kind to me. It's 11pm right now and the website says they close at 2am on Fridays. Service is King. And bad service once loses a customer. NEVER AGAIN!

A very good addition to the neighborhood. Attentive service in spite of the dinnertime rush. Good and filling offerings. Decent sangria. Avoid the calamari though - it seems processed. It took a very long time to get the bill and depart. Even after several attempts -

Good quality food, good bar, the staff treats you like family. Prices are good for the quality. Nice atmosphere AND they also play lots of sports games.. Definitely a good local spot so I hope more folks try it out !

Pizza is delicious but with appetite I wish they sold a larger size like 16 or 18 inch Carpaccio and bruschetta were on spot Shrimp fra diavilo was nice and spicy the way I like it Homemade angel hair on point Very accommodating service Didn't try upper level bar but I have heard it's great too

The food at Mario's Trattoria is amazing! We had a couple of pizza's which were very good, and fettucine. All dishes were cooked Italian style, great crust on the pizza, thin topping, and the fettucine were fresh, as in homemade and fresh, with sauce for flavor. Truly the best pasta I tasted in a couple of decades. The service is excellent, and the waiter was charming. Mario's Trattoria is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood, and I will make sure to come back often.

We were so excited to try the new joint in the neighborhood, especially the roof top. Unfortunately, it was an overall disappointment, especially on food and decor. The carbonara pasta was mediocre at best, the pizza good by small, $9 for three tiny bruschetta a joke, and the wine we ordered not available. The upstairs rooftop could be so much nicer if they put up some plants and served a proper menu (it had only a few eclectic items--no wine but lots of "mules"--but the full menu was available on request). A very simple dinner for over $100! I hope they improve and survive.

Kindest employees, reasonable prices, fantastic drinks and a great wine list. These people care about their customers and it really shows. Every time I get the chance to eat here, I leave feeling extremely happy. Pizza is all good, risotto is phenomenal as I have yet to find its equal in DC proper in over two years of living here. Espresso martinis are top notch.
