Mario's Seawall Italian Restaurant

My family and I LOVE Mario's in Galveston and visit once a week. They have the BEST Italian food in TEXAS, the service is always top notch, and the atmosphere is very family friendly. It is nice to have a great meal then be able to take a walk on the beach. Great for tourists and natives alike! more

I showed up at 9:15 p.m. on a weeknight and asked if they were still serving food since they close at 10. The manager said no problem they could still serve me. My waiter was so polite and wonderful. Even the family sitting next to me let me know how amazing he was as they left. Unfortunately, because I was late I could only order pizza, but luckily that's what I expected to order. Got the Margherita pizza and it was delicious! Really impressed with the food and even more so with the service. more

Ate the lunch buffet and it was terrific!! Everything was perfect. Found out that they have a Thursday Night Buffet! I am so going to try it. I have never felt so welcome at a place where i go to eat. The service was awesome and food was hot! i love this place!!! this will be a regular place to eat for me. more

the buffet did,nt have much on it. the owner was not friendly but staff was.won,t be back ill go to the other one. more

I'm telling you, there's nothing like this anywhere else in the country. I used to eat here when i was in Medical School in Galveston in the 70's, and, in retrospect, I had no idea how fortunate I was. i've had the boston, the austin, the chicago, and the new york pizza, and nothing can compare with Mario's Flying Pizza.\r \r I also miss all the girls I used to date in Galveston, lol, hope you gals are married, have kids, and are doing well!!! Pros: BEST PIZZA IN THE COUNTRY--HOW DO THEY DO IT???? Cons: NONE! more

Mary and I visited on Friday night and the venue was quite pleasant on the off season complete with lovely view of the beach and gulf. We sipped the house Chianti, great, and shared an appetizer and an entree. This was no problem for our charming waiter Eric. \r \r We began with the calamari which took a very long time to arrive. Eric was on the case, noticed the delay and followed up with the kitchen. The calamari showed up, followed almost immediately with our entree Eggplant Parm. The calamari was tasty and lightly breaded. The eggplant was delicious as well as was the accompanying pasta with red sauce. \r \r The only drawback was our seating -- in a center aisle -- where I was repeatedly bumped by a waiter as he bustled past. Once I called out ""excuse me!"" after he almost knocked me out of my chair! He replied with a glare. Again, Eric was on the case and spoke to him. He avoided our table after that. \r \r I recommend Mario's especially before sunset when you can enjoy the food and the scenary as well. Pros: view, tasty entrees Cons: getting bumped! slow arrival of food more
