Edit:
So, I've been to Mario House again, and it was ok... just ok.
As it has moved across the road and had a big make over its a much better-looking place! The ambience and decor are very good and now it has an upstairs!
The food was ok. Just the standard Italian food you would expect, no wow factor.
What let it down was the service. It was slow, and at the end of the night, it was hard to get the bill. When I did, it was hard to get your change.... as much as I do tip, £18 would be a bit much to leave behind as it took ages for them to come get it.
The prices are up there. It is cheaper at salvanas around the corner.
Since I came back the building has improved but the food wasn't as good and it was much more expensive with slow service.
From a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ on 1st visit ....
To a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ this time around.
May look to Salvanas on my next trip out.
Really friendly staff and really fantastic food! Prices are good and plenty...

The menu was quite large but lacked traditional Italian variety. No specials menu on offer. I ordered the calamari starter which to be honest was overcooked and batter was a bit bland.

When the dishes finally arrived they were undercooked... very saucy with slightly firm pasta, so handnt had long enough in The oven. The restaurant was nicely outfitted but was quite open to the front door and tended to have lots of people standing over other patrons which was a bit u comfortable. The food wasn't great and the pricing wasn't very competitive at all...won't...
Read moreOne of the worst eating experiences in the Furness peninsula, the food was underwhelming and not one dish excited the palette. The staff were less than helpful, I asked for a break in between my starter and main and was abruptly told that it wasn't possible because the chef had already started them due to the high demand for takeaway and home delivery. In my experience the chef should never start the main until the starter plates are at least off the table. To finish on a high when I went to pay by card, I was told that it was cash only. Okay I have no problem with this if the server tells us as we walk in. That way I'm not leaving my partner sitting at a table with no drink whilst I'm hunting for an...
