Reviews for Mario's Osteria in Boca Raton, FL
An upscale Italian restaurant serving up many "old school" Italian favorites, pastas and pizzas. The restaurant is bright,... modern, beautifully decorated, with plenty of outdoor seating complete with both indoor and outdoor full bar. Upon seated, freshvarieties of Italian breads were served with oil and pesto. Our waitress was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. Weordered Crispy Calamari for starters (you can also have them served Fro- Diavolo or Grilled style). For entrees we went withFedelini & Clams, and Rigatoni Vodka. The Calamari was excellent, Rigatoni was good, but Fedelini was not up to standard withwhat you would expect from this type of restaurant. It was very bland, lacking any flavor of garlic and definitely missing theparsley. For dessert, we had the Tiramisu. It was delicious, with perfect balance of creamy mascarpone cheese on just the rightamount of espresso. We were expecting the food to be excellent here, unfortunately they did not deliver on this visit. However,the desert was really good and we really like the feel and atmosphere of the restaurant, hence we would be back to try out otheritems on their extensive menu. Read more

Beautiful food and wide choice on the menu. I chose the seafood pasta but was quite jealous when I saw the amazing lasagna that... my colleagues had! Great service and comfortable surroundings. Read more
The food was good. We really enjoyed the antipasto plate it was loaded with our favorite charcuterie. The grilled calamari was... very tender and cooked perfectly.The sunday sauce was very thin and everything else was just ok. The atmosphere was nice thewait staff was a bit slow. Read more
We went to Mario’s with friends this past Saturday night. The atmosphere is beautiful. It has a great vibe. The service was... excellent. My wife and I had chicken parmigiana and it was delicious. The chicken was so soft and it had plenty of cheese andsauce which a lot of restaurants lack. Our friends had shrimp parmigiana and lasagne and they enjoyed their dishes. I highlyrecommend you try Mario’s in Boca. You will not be disappointed. Read more
What a disappointment! Was looking forward to some good Italian food. Most reviews rave.... I ordered the $30 lobster ravioli. ... Very said. Look at the picture. for $30 I got 6 nice size ravioli, that tasted like NOTHING. The sauce was pleasant, but what ashame for $30!!! I should have gotten any of the $18 normal pasta meals. They looked WAY better. For the $30, I only got the 6sad ravioli.... very SAD. They didn't really care, just said "sorry you were disappointed". Read more
