Great food. Awesome taste and great quality for your money. I found them on yelp and saw that they were on my route home I placed my order when I got there. It took a minute to get the food but it was well worth the wait. Everything was delicious fresh and hot. My children loved their pizza and my husband couldn't believe how much you got for that price. We will definitely be making a return trip.

The family and I have been here several times. We enjoy the food. The 18" Gladiator pizza is a good thing to pick up on the weekend. It is loaded with topping and will last us two meals. It is pricey ($26) but is very large and better than other pizzas in town. I like the calzones and salads. The pasta dishes are nothing special, but not bad. The service can be a little slow, but every thing is made to order.

The service was extremely slow. I called in an order at 6:42PM. They told me it would be 25-30 minutes, which is longer than typical (I thought 15-20 minutes is typical). Anyway, I arrived at the drive-in 35 minute later. I sat there at the window for about 10 minutes, waiting for my order. After no one acknowledged me, I called while looking at them! "I called in an order and am now at the drive up to pick up my order"..."Okay, I'll be there in a sec". I paid and was told that my food would be there when it was ready. I waited for another 10 minutes after paying before finally getting my food. This was 55 minutes after I ordered it! The food was average. This is not my first time going and sitting at the drive up window for several minutes with no one speaking a word to me...but it was certainly my last

I have to agree with the previous review, the options here are better than take out pizza even though the food doesn't make your tastebuds dance. It has a great atmosphere and good customer service which will have me coming back.
Went here for lunch on a weekday with a friend. Other diners were people on their lunch break. The service was fast and efficient. My friend ordered the $6.99 lunch special of the day a, calzone, which she said was great. It was too large for her to eat at one sitting so she took half of it home. I ordered the lasagna which I enjoyed and ate all of it. Other diners ordered pizzas which we will try next time. We liked Mariano's and will return.

If you live in Luling/Boutte and you really want a calzone, this place isn't too bad. The calzones and wraps are okay. It's not the best quality food I've ever had, but sometimes you just really want a calzone but are too tired to go too far. The service is pretty slow so make sure you have time to wait. I usually am not desperate enough to go there instead of somewhere really good, but on a rare occasion it does happen. The great location sometimes makes up for the mediocre food and horrible service.

1. 5-7 min till server came 2. 3-5 more for drinks 3. Server came and took half our order then left then came back 5 minutes later and got the rest. Kind of awkward. 4. Waited 30 more minutes for calzone and 35 for spaghetti. 5 minutes out of sync 5. Pretty good on refills but that's about it. 6. Food was pretty good and spaghetti wasn't watered. 7. Said she would bring check half way through our meal. I believe this was the owner. Work on common core serving skills and timing and they could be 4-5 with me

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I was a little (okay, a LOT) distraught when Pocomo's closed down and these guys opened in its place. We've eaten here several times, and although it's not anything super-spectacular, the food is usually solidly decent and it definitely beats a lot of the other options in town (ugh, fast food). I'm not a huge fan of the pizza - the crust is a little doughy for my liking (I'm one of those sacrilegious thin crust people, don't judge) and it was just kind of bland in terms of the sauce. Not to mention the fact that I was coming off THE BEST PIZZA IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND, so it's possible my judgment is a little skewed on that one. The pasta is usually pretty good, though. They do a $5 spaghetti and meatballs special on Sundays that used to be my FAVEY FAVE but the last couple of times it was a little scarce on the sauce. The meatballs are yummy, which is a plus because I don't do the whole squish-raw-meat-around-in-your-hands thing. *shudder* They recently added a vegetarian pasta to the menu that's pretty good as well. It's all the veggies you would expect on a pizza -- onion, green pepper, black olive, mushrooms -- sautéed and tossed with some pasta (and probably olive oil and garlic and such, if I had to guess). Ask for it with a little of their marinara sauce thrown into the mix, you won't regret it. It's a great change of pace when you want something a little lighter but don't feel like cooking. They're always adding and cutting things on the menu, so definitely check it out before you just walk in and order sight unseen.
