I'v had lots of pizza from various pizza shops. Mario's is by far the best. It has pizza with the best sauce! So flavorful. It's not just marinara sauce ; It is full of great spices & plenty of cheese. Yum! Mario's also has other Italian favorites from pastas to Stromboli & garlic knots to die for. Also many different kinds of salads. It is definitely worth the trip. Reasonably priced, too.

I complained about this in 2017, but it made no difference. We experienced it again this week. So hereâs a repeat if anybody in management or Corporate is listening:Sometimes the salad plates arrive HOT! Yes, hot, not warn, I mean HOT, straight from the dishwasher. Again this week.I have an idea: Why not have more plates? Or alternatively, and even better, a large chiller for salad plates. My freezer at home is remarkably fast at chilling dishes. Let me know if I should tow it to the restaurant. If Iâm mistaken and there is a demand for hot salad plates, they can be nuked a la carte.

The decor is tacky but fun. It definitely sells itself as a casual, family dining experience. Salads, apps and entrees were all very tasty. We didn't have dessert, but saw a massive sundae go by that looked fantastic. Here's the thing: everything is served family style ordered in serving sizes of 3 people or 5 people. If you have a large group sharing a check and food, great, you can all share a variety of food. However, if you're bringing a smaller party to dinner, it can be challenging. You'll have to all agree on sharing an entree, app, salad, etc. The more variety you add, the more expensive it will be, especially for a small group.We also had the challenge of meeting dietary restrictions for one person - meaning, those dietary restrictions had to apply to the others in the small party. I'm not sure that this place is for everyone.

6. Cathy's Creative Catering & Cafe
Reviewed By chris020367
Cathy's Cafe is a must-stop place if you are anywhere within 20 miles of Catasauqua. Everything is made from scratch, with a considerable amount of the ingredients coming from Chef Tony's garden. This is a small place, make reservations. Notice all the giant spoons on the walls - winning hardware from Bethlehem's annual "Souper Bowl." The pierogie soup is unrivaled. Just tried the brown butter acorn squash soup and it was heaven in a bowl. Typically 10-15 entrees listed on the blackboard, never a bad one in the bunch - always a difficult decision. My last visit I opted for the horseradish encrusted lamb chops, great decision. Superb and filling. I rarely order dessert, but at Cathy's we always order desserts and pass them around the table until they are gone. They are ALWAYS gone! Do yourself a favor, try Cathy's Cafe. You will return. You're welcome!

I've lived about 5 miles from here for over 40 years and never tried their pizza, and I am a pizza lover. The best pizza in the world is made the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre area. BUT..... This is GREAT pizza.....especially for the Lehigh Valley. One of the BEST in the area.

Bravo, Bravo! (See what I did there? (We brought 5 people with different dietary needs and food preferences in and you satisfied all of us with your basic Italian, small but tasty menu.I had spaghetti with the vegan eggplant based meatballs. Iâve been a vegetarian for decades and I really donât remember ever having a plate of spaghetti and meatballsâ¦also I really generally donât like eggplantâ¦this whole thing was delicious and the meatballs gave a very nice meat-like texture.I also enjoyed the Sangiovese Cabernet blend wineâ¦It was smooth and easy to drink.My wife was happy that the chef came out to talk with her about the gluten free options as some of her questions stumped our server. (And it turned out the slight modification she wanted to the gluten free version of their special pomodoro pasta was gluten free (she also wanted it without cheese) and she thought it was well done. (Not always an easy feat with gluten free pasta.)Our kid ordered plain pasta, as is his way, and he was fine with it.We also enjoyed the focaccia bread rolls (at least us gluten eaters did) that came with the meal.I donât always find meals at chain restaurants to be that great, but the food here was tasty, cooked perfectly, and the staff took very good care of us. Weâd come back!

Decided to go out with the wife went to Fiama but there was an hour wait so I decided to go eat some Mediterranean food went to Mazza in Whitehall they having a party parking lot was full so I decided to go to Roma haven't been their for a while since my friend Joe Grisafi owned it now owner of Corked in downtown Bethlehem A person that takes the bus with my to New York told her it was better but I think she dosent know good food as for I have been in the food business most of my life got there was seated right away waitress came around for drink order then another waiter came a little confusion no big deal ordered appetizer and dinner asked for bread he said he will bring it out with the appetizer then waitress came back brought bread explained to us about the miscommunication Appt. finally came ordered Mozzella & corrozzo two pieces not worth it wasn't good For dinner we ordered the shrimp parmigiana and veal parmigiana which comes with salad and pasta. My veal was good the alfredo sauce was watery too much heavy cream for my pasta. My wifes shrimp was over cooked and fishy but she didn't want to send it back which I told her she should have. Meal came out to 85 dollars with 4 beers, was not worth it, would not go out there again. Better off going to Fiamma for Italian food. In my opinion, Fiamma is the best Italian restaurant in the area in my opinion
