Talk to Mario's

Tonight's special, a takeout order, catering for the whole crew — whatever's on your mind, send it our way. A real person from our Dubuque kitchen reads every message.

Send us a message

This form goes straight to our team — no hold music, no ticket queues. Tell us what you need and we'll take it from there.

Fields marked are required.

We only use your details to reply to you. No lists, no spam, no nonsense.

A kitchen, not a call center

When you write to Mario's, your note lands with the same people who roll the pasta and stir the gravy. No scripts, no bots — just someone wiping flour off their hands to read what you sent.

Ask what's on the board today, plan a pickup on your way through Dubuque, or tell us how dinner went last week. It all reaches the same place, and it all gets an answer.

What we can do for you

Four ways to eat well in Dubuque. Pick one, then tell us about it in the form above.

Dine-in

Settle in under candlelight and let the kitchen set the pace. Bring an appetite — and leave time for one more plate.

Takeout & delivery

The same cooking, packed to travel. Message ahead and dinner is hot and waiting — or on its way to your door.

Catering

Trays built for sharing, scaled to your headcount. Office lunches, family reunions, and everything in between.

Daily specials

The board changes with the season and whatever looked good at the market. Ask what's on today.

Feeding a crowd?

Full trays, empty plates — that's the whole idea. Give us the date, the headcount, and any dietary needs, and we'll build a spread that travels well and disappears fast.

The earlier the note, the better the board. One message is all it takes to get started.
