About

A Family Kitchen on Route 9

Mario's is a family-owned Italian restaurant and pizzeria in Forked River, open for over thirty years. Every dish is made fresh to order, and every sauce and soup starts from scratch.

Dinners come out generous: veal, chicken and seafood plates, homemade pasta, and pizza and subs for a quicker night. Anna's homemade desserts finish the meal.

Bring your own bottle and we'll bring the glasses and ice and set you up. Everyone who works here is treated like family, and so are you.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The food is always amazing here. The portion sizes are gigantic and the service is always very friendly and prompt. The only reason I gave atmosphere 4 stars instead of five it's because it can get really loud in there. However, that's a small price to pay for such amazing food and service. I will absolutely keep going back there again and again.
