Mario’s in Pendle

Great Italian place in Barnoldswick, loved the owner Mario, pure Italian! Then you also eat well... approved

It's always great what else is there to say!

Lovely restaurant. Staff brilliant and Mario so lovely and friendly to all the customers

I would not recommend this place, the food was actually alright but the service from the owner was disgusting… The wait for the table was about an hour but fair enough we didn’t book (we are not from here and we just arrived) service for food was a tad long but the food itself was okay, coming to the end we asked for the bill and it wasn’t bought over, and as it was close to 11pm we needed to leave to get to a shop, we went to the till to pay a £140 bill, and was standing there waiting for 20-25minutes? The owner was just chatting to the locals and didn’t take any notice of us. There were 3 other staff members standing there but the owner then decided to answer the phone, then when my partner said let’s pay the bill she was told that she was rude and to be patient? We was waiting 25 minutes, to pay a bill. The geeza is a joke, and needs to learn how to run a business properly, customers like us is what pays your bills so think twice when’s someone is TRYING TO PAY A BILL… Oh, and little advice, stop shouting every single second of the night, it’s aggravating and annoying… I’d rather take a dump in my hand and clap than go back to this place. Absolute melon…

Food was fantastic but the service was awful. We didn't book as was passing through. Had 1 hour wait but wasnt given a time frame, that's was expected as we hadn't booked. However we had to wait a really long time to pay and leave as the owner was saying bye to the locals and answering the phone instead of dealing with our bill while we were waiting to leave.... There was 3 other members of staff that could've assisted either us or the other people. We explained we were in a rush to pay as was 11pm at night and we needed to get to the shop before they shut. We was told if we're in a rush we should of booked and to book next time. We were told that we shouldn't be so rude. When all we were asking was to pay the bill. I've never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant before and I will gladly say that I will never return. They need to be more organised, communicate and not be rude to customers

Great food, lovely attentive staff, brilliant atmosphere. Our first time yesterday will definitely be back.

Great little Italian restaurant... Rustic interior...4 of us ate here as we were up visiting our daughter...2 garlic breads to share top notch. Quattro stagioni pizza top quality then 3 amazing pasta dishes...mushroom penna and a prawn linguini and salmon spaghetti all wolfed not a bit left. Atmosphere is really friendly great staff then a Happy Birthday rendition by Mario...nice touch. Will definitely be here again on our next trips to see our daughter.

This is one of my family’s favourite restaurant. We come here quite regularly but in recent times less and less because I don’t generally get good food and so will try to persuade my family to go somewhere else if I can. It could be just my bad luck as my other family members seem to be ok. I tried different things on the menu. First time I had meatballs starter it was good but the next time it wasn’t (very dry inside although covered in tomato sauce) I tried seafood pasta as I love them and will have this if it’s on the menu whenever and wherever we go out. Unfortunately it was the worst one I ever had. I tried the sirloin steak cooked medium but it came out well done. The next time I tried the filet steak, the same thing happened. I didn’t complain as everyone else seemed to be enjoying whatever they had. However last night I tried the sirloin again and when I ordered I mentioned my bad luck with steak there so asked for medium rare this time. Well, it came out medium well done and it was a strange sirloin as usually the fat is only on one side, this one was fatty all over and I was struggling to cut it with steak knife. The menu said it comes with onion rings, mushrooms and tomatoes and I got none of those and had to ask for them. They said they didn’t give them because I asked for sauce on the steak. Sorry I didn’t get how you pay extra for sauce then get less for other things supposed to come with it?? I wouldn’t even bother to write this if it wasn’t because of the fact Mario handled this very badly in my opinion. I used to like his bubbly personality and his lovely wife Francesca. Mario didn’t like my complaint about the food. He said we didn’t have to pay for my steak, ushered me out and said he heard all about me, always complaining at restaurants in the area. That’s a total lie as we are still regulars at other places in the area and never complained or ushered out the premises. At the end I just had to wait in the car while my other family members finished and paid the bill.

Very rude man working there. We kindly ask for a table but man scream at us. At result when we said he is not nice, he want us to pay more for a beer which cost less. Not recommended.

Would highly recommend the food, but the service wasn't fantastic. Booked for 7pm (tables clearly available) was shown to table at 7.40 (after the owner making a joke about making us wait so we'd drink more)...there was large parties in who clearly were regulars but were quite noisy. Asked for dessert menu - it didn't arrive so we got up to pay and then there was an embarrassing encounter with the owner and his wife as he gave us the wrong bill and then shouted at his wife to speak English when she was struggling to understand what had gone wrong....we all felt very uncomfortable. It was quite surreal as I've never ever seen an owner get so mad in front of customers....don't think we'll return soon even though food was really good😔

What a find this place was. There was abit of a wait for the food because they were very busy but when it came it was 1st Class and you get entertained by Mario while you wait.the staff were very helpful and friendly and a special shout out to Gina behind the bar and front of house who kept everything running smoothly. Five stars

We were a party of 27. Despite Mario missing some of the pre ordered menus (he spent all evening apologising 😃) it was one of the best I’ve had. Very good food and super friendly staff. Top notch 👍

No better place for a birthday celebration!

We went to Mario's for their special Monday Night deal and the food was delicious , really helpful friendly staff. Perfect treat after a busy weekend.

Absolutely fantastic place to eat atmosphere brilliant food excellent service second to none. Highly recommend

Walk in visit, managed to get a table for me and my son quickly, food was quite quick to arrive and was very nice

Excellent, We will be back for more!

Food was quite average unfortunately it was covered in garlic which masked the taste of everything. The service was good and the atmosphere was alright

Good food, attentive staff. Value for money What's not to like?

Great restaurant with great service. Always have a great night at Mario's!!

The perfect date night. We had an amazing first experience at Mario's with my Wife. I knew exactly what I wanted to eat/try & it was absolutely delicious. The staff & owners are well nice people, honestly. Good chat & laugh

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Pretty full for a Monday night as well which is always good to see. If we're back in the area we'll definitely be back..

The whole package is EXCELLENT building,decoration, atmosphere, staff owner and food. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The owner Mario is delightful and welcoming. The chef’s work is delicious. Everyone very friendly. Well worth the price.

Ottima esperienza Italiana in questa zona dello Yorkshire

Our first visit to Mario's, did not disappoint. Very friendly welcome to this family run restaurant. The food was delicious and very authentic. We enjoyed the atmosphere, and the owner and staff were very attentive. Service was top notch even when very busy. Will definitely be back very soon.

Good, traditional Italian food served by friendly and attentive staff.

Lovely place Mario a true gentleman 👏 made everyone feel welcome. Food was delicious.

Amazing! The staff there are so friendly. They sang happy birthday to me on my birthday. The atmosphere also feels warm an welcoming. I highly recommend marios.

The food is so good and the service is great. I love how everyone is so happy all the time. And the pizza is massive.

We stopped here at 4.40pm tonight for a take out as a family of four. We wanted 4 pizzas and chips. We waited from 4.40pm till 5.15pm with nobody talking our order so we walked out and went else where. Whilst I understand there was a group of school children in it still shouldn't take more than 35 minutes to take an order!

Had a meal here on Thursday evening. It was very busy. Great atmosphere, tasy food accompanied by a bottle of Valpolicella.

A great environment with friendly and attentive staff, orders were taken quickly and smoothly with food arriving in good time fresh and well plated. Prices are reasonable, at service industry expectations, the atmosphere is comfortable and contributes to the experience with the decor and staff presentation. Good wine and drinks selection, and will definitely be one to return to with the family and friends.

Called in after going to the BOTS ,,went in with friends, nothing to much trouble, pizza,s where excellent.

Great food and great night thanks Mario.

Excellent as usual food superb staff very friendly and helpful. Been here on many occasions and never been disappointed.

Food did not take long at all. The dishes were delicious. The staff were all friendly and talkative, especially Mario. His customer service was one of a kind, managed to make my table laugh quite a few times.

Not been for years but it was excellent, Had pizza to share then lasagne, Will be going back soon, Bob,

Fantastic fresh food, very friendly staff, cosy and warm, lots of choice and well priced. A must place to visit!

The food not as good as it normally is. Very disappointed. We Miss Pepe who used to be there. Atmosphere not the same.

Great place that lives up to its reviews. Very friendly staff and good food!

The food from this restaurant is pretty good, but the portions are on the smaller side. I went there one time over the Christmas holidays and it was very busy, which made for a bit of a rushed experience. Despite this, the food was still tasty and enjoyable. Overall, I recommend this restaurant for the food quality, but be aware that the portions are small and it could be busy during peak times.

Authentic family-run Italian restaurant. Always a very warm welcome, excellent service and great food from an extensive menu. If there’s a birthday, all the staff go bananas. Brilliant.

I love it good food right price Mario an peppie are insane real spot to go it's the future

Friendly service, pleasant atmosphere. The food wasn't as good as expected, my daughter's pizza, ham and pineapple wasn't brilliant, the toppings were very sparse as was the sauce on the base. I had chicken in a stroganoff sauce with rice. It wasn't too bad, I was just surprised at the small portion. Luckily I got a side portion of chips making the meal a little more substantial. Value for money, definitely not ! I would happily dine there again, I'd choose something more substantial and better value for money.

Marios is fun and lively. Pros: - good food - warm setting - large variety of seating for different sized families - delicious food Cons: - loudness, was uncomfortable (this coming from an ambivert themselves) - difficult to find the toilets - can get cramped quickly if it is a busy night - tables too close together, would've been difficult to hear the person next to you speaking.

1st time there everything was awesome

Lovely friendly family run restaurant. Absolute credit to Barlick!

Great service thoroughly enjoyed food spot on

Excellent service, lovely food ❤️ Mario is a real person 😀 lovely to meet him 😀🥰

This was my first time visiting Mario's for my sons birthday. I could not have picked a better place!! The menu choice and food was unbelievable. All staff were very attentive but without intruding on our night. They could not have done anything more, the service was excellent. They even treated my son to a happy birthday serenade, much to his embarrassment but he did enjoy the ice cream they brought him out tho 🍨 Could not recommend Mario's highly enough

Absolutely fabulous meal, Mario is such a good host

Excellent food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Mario makes it what it is.

Friendly staff, reasonably priced, delicious food a very enjoyable evening.

Fantastic food and atmosphere! Our first time visiting, but the staff managed to squeeze us in a bit earlier despite struggling as they were already fully booked for our requested time. The quality of the food was absolutely fantastic and we very much look forward to visiting again for future meals. I should also add that the staff are so friendly, helpful and just absolutely comical. Such a friendly and inviting atmosphere. 10 out of 10!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great food, great service, great price

Such a traditional Italian, great food and service on point. If you are nearby its a deffo treat to remember.
