Mario’s Restaurant

A place worth driving to as a destination for Supper. Once you have Mario’s, located in Dean Martin Land, you will want to go again. Soon, trips to Steubenville and Pittsburgh will include the appropriate coordinates be placed in your GPS to get there. On every trip possible. And for any excuse. But you shouldn’t have to have an excuse to eat good Italian food. So go to Mario’s, already!

Mario’s is a decent Italian restaurant in the middle of downtown Weirton, WV.

Really good Italian food where you wouldn’t expect it in West Virginia. Great service as well.

I stopped by this place primarily for the pizza (see DiCarlo’s Pizza for a review) as well as some appetizers. I had Jalepeno poppers, and a fresh tossed salad. The food tasted good, the service was good, and my party had a good time. It seemed like an average to-​above average Italian restaurant. A nice casual Italian restaurant which would work well for families or groups. I highly recommend the pizza (once again, see DiCarlo’s).

Mario’s Restaurant in Weirton is my old standby for getting tasty food that is vegetarian when I visit home. For vegetarians, the Josephine sandwich, salads, some pastas with marinara, and the grilled vegetable sandwich are available. I usually get the Josephine, which is thin sliced eggplant that is breaded and fried, topped with cheese and marinara sauce between two pieces of their herb-​bread and served with real french fries – it is really delicious. I can’t speak for all of their items because I am vegetarian, but I do know that what I get is consistently served and always good. Additionally, their pastas and marinara sauce are good as well as the items served from their coffee bar.
One thing to note is that Mario’s Restaurant is attached to the DiCarlo’s Pizzeria located in Weirton. If you order pizza in the restaurant section you will get DiCarlo’s pizza, which (for all of you outsiders) is square pizza served by the slice with tomato pizza sauce, melted shredded mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni (unless you order otherwise). The restaurant also contains a sizable bar with high top tables where you can order off the menu from the restaurant (note that there is smoking allowed in this area) as well as an outdoor patio for eating in the summer months.
