The top-notch authentic Italian food is perfectly complimented by the attentive but not intrusive service at the tables or at the bar. My husband and I prefer to sit at the bar when we go, and we always meet fantastic new patrons or see old friends. Owners and management take a hands-on out-front role that makes it truly a great experience.Many reviews omit the last half of the name of Mari's Cucina. Where else can you find a "Social House" where people can go to have fun and relax and enjoy a great night out. I always appreciate supporting locally owned restaurants and bars rather than chains, and Mari's is a great place to hang out for drinks or meet your friends or get introduced to new friends.Even my identical twin sister forgets her evil side and enjoys the food, drinks, and camaraderie. That says a lot about the great experience you can have! Try the Salmon Like a Boss for a great entree; I also like the Rigatoni a la Vodka.
