Mardino's Italian Cuisine Steakhouse

What a lovely family restaurant. We came with a party of 8 and we were taken care of like family. The manager owner? brought us some fried zucchini to start our evening, they have a nice selection of wines and apps as well. The person next to me ordered fried mozzarella and shared with the table. Delicious and enough to go around! We ordered one of the daily specials, shrimp and scallops in a garlic over pasta. Big portion and quite good. Also, each dish came with a very nice side salad with a tasty Italian dressing. The guy next to me had Chicken Scarpariello that looked amazing, and across from me someone had Gnocchi another fave . Our group ordered other dishes as well, I can 't remember all of them, but no one was disappointed. And everyone was happy to bring their leftovers home 'cause you know, there are times when you don 't like the food enough to bother with leftovers! This was so good people were already planning out their lunches for the next day! At the end of the meal, the gracious manager brought the table Banana Cream Pie to share. WOW! Totally unexpected and incredibly kind! This was the real thing, not too sweet, and definitely had some sliced bananas nestled in the custard filling and real whipped cream. If you 're looking for an Old Skool Italian restaurant where you can get great service, great food and good old home cooking, Mardino 's is your new favorite spot!

Old school family owned restaurant with a friendly and attentive staff. Excellent homestyle Italian cooking also with a nice Seafood and Steak menu. Nonna would be proud of the tasty Sauce (Gravy)! I have been told that the proud Chef/ Owner has been there for 40+ years. A must go to if you are in the Mount Kisco area, you will glad you did!!

If you want to have first rate top quality delicious food, then this is the place to go. We have ordered several different dishes here and all have been absolutely superb. Last night I had the Veal Parmigiana after sharing a Fried Calamari appetizer. The veal was cooked perfectly. It was tender and a nice portion as well. The sauce and cheese were also delicious. The calamari was also cooked perfectly and the side of sauce was superb if you like it a little spicy. My wife had a Shrimp and Scallop special served over linguine and cooked with a white wine garlic sauce. She asked for extra garlic and they delivered as asked. Superb to say the least. We ended with their world famous Banana Cream Pie for dessert. No better Banana Cream Pie anywhere. I made sure I saved room for this by taking home half my dinner. The restaurant ambiance is lively and the staff are over the top friendly. They have all been there for years and the place is full of regulars. Friday and Saturday nights are typically packed so reservations are day ahead are recommended. The only reason I can 't give this gem of a restaurant a 5 is the place is somewhat dated and could use some refreshing. It is fine for myself and my wife as we care more about the food and friendly staff and it is clean inside but some could argue a 5 rating should meet each and every criteria.

Last night, 11/10/23, we decided to give this place a try and we were extremely pleased. Salads were made with fresh ingredients and the house dressing was a tasty Italian vinaigrette. Julie had an order of baked ziti. The sauce was flavorly flawless. It had a robust and sweet palatableness. I opted for the rib eye steak special which was accompanied by corn on the half-cob and a portion of mashed potatoes. It came with a $44 price tag, a bit pricey, but the steak was mammoth-sized. It was extremely tasty, though the marinade was a little high in saltiness. The medium rare presentation was cooked to perfection. The corn was fresh and buttery. The mashed potatoes were a disappointment. They tasted old, not made from scratch, and while parts of it were hot, some were lukewarm. For dessert, we shared a slice of chocolate mousse cake, which was a captivating confection. It was very rich and satisfying for those with sweet teeth. The cappuccino was made too strongly. I drink Café Bustelo daily, so I have a genuine appreciation for strong coffee, but this cappuccino tasted bitter and undrinkable. Was it possible I received espresso instead? Our server was very nice and extremely knowledgeable about the menu, but I believe he was taking on too many tables. Another server may have been easier to handle this Friday night crowd. Bathroom definitely could use an update. Another item worth mentioning is, this place only takes reservations by phone and does not use applications like OPEN TABLE. Wholistically, the experience was enjoyable and this place has the capability of earning 5 stars, with a few refinements. We will likely return.

Made a late reservation and luckily got in, what a great meal. The service by Gaetano G is always superb with great suggestions. They 're chicken parm is always moist never a dried cutlet with great sauce and plenty of melt mozz. Their strip steak and shrimp scampi with a suggested brown sauce was awesome! This place is Old school Italian, the chicken paris so big I at it for lunch and dinner!
