Mario was working for 18 years in Italian restaurants, finally his dream came a true when he opened "Absolutely Mario" in Farmingdale.

" Everybody asking me how came out with the name "Absolutely Mario". Through the years in this industry I learned that the customer is always right and the word NO does not exist when you taken care of people.
So following this rules I never said no for anything, I always said " Absolutely".

Everybody started to call me Absolutely Mario, I said if one day I open my own restaurant the name is got to be Absolutely Mario.

I even have a sign that always carry it in my pocket that reads "Absolutely" every body love it and want to see it.
My goal with this restaurant is that the customer feel like home and a part of the family.

Thanks to every one who made this dream became a true and big success my wife, my son and family together with my customers "Absolutely".


Some interviews:
" What sets Absolutely Mario apart is not its décor or its menu of Italian favorites but the warmth and spirit of its owner, and the staff followed his lead. The bartender gave us a cheery hello as we entered. Our waiter was jovial and accommodating, as was the smiling busboy."
                                               BY JOANNE STARKEY, New York Times

" Italian Charm? ABSOLUTELY "
                                                           BY JOAN REMINICK, Newsday

"Mario Garcia worked in Italian restaurants for many years, as a waiter, then as a captain. All the while dreaming of opening his own place. He was always very accommodating to the customers and no matter what they requested, his answer was "absolutely."
                   MORRIS SENDOR, GREAT RESTAURANTS OF LONG ISLAND

"Everything about this comfortable and friendly restaurant will delight you from the ambience to the excellent food and attentive service. Mario " Absolutely" is accommodating and maintains a high level of consistency in this haven of culinary delights."
