    Another Year is Coming to Pass. Since 2004 My Family and Myself have been lucky enough to be accepted as Family by the Longo Family. But let's talk Turkey (or Italian in this case) - everybody has their idea of what is Italian - and this is it. Mario Sr in Downtown, Mario Jr at Lake Boone and Michael at Glenwood Ave. The best meals are the Simple Well Prepared One's. A simple plate of Garlic Knots to start, an Italian DOCG Wine Selection (what else would you expect - California?) and a Quality Meal to rival any "Starred" New York restaurant. Or do as we do - Buy a Large 18" Vic's Deluxe (enough to Take home), a small plate of Pasta and a couple of Meatballs and of Course a Wine. Like I said it's the Simple things that make this your New Best. Steven and Tamara

    Horrible service and the place has no room for take out and took over an hour for me to get my food and it was only me and my wife. Don’t go here unless you want a stressful experience!

    Avoid this place. First time I tried them, the meatballs were so overcooked they were hard and inedible. Second time, bs story but they never made my order until I arrived. Third and final time. Vegetables are rotten. They forgot the pasta with the chicken piccata and the serving sizes are so disappointing. Go to Cristos instead.

    Came in after a 2 hour car drive and asked if I could use the bathroom. Person at the counter said I could, but that next time it is only for paying customers. I ended up buying a stromboli anyway. It was amazing. I felt like God came down and rocked me gently while feeding me a delicacy beyond my comprehension.
