SOMERS — Mario’s Pizzeria & Ristorante, located at 48 South Rd. in the Southfield Corners Shops, underwent some in-house renovations and added a brand-new bar. They are now serving draft beer, along with a variety of wines, hard ciders and hard seltzers.
“A lot of people had been calling for draft beer,” said Owner Mario Ferrentino. “We just wanted to give people that option so they could have it to make the place in the dining room and the whole dining experience as comfortable as possible.”
He went on to say, “Customers love the renovations and the new bar area. They love the cozy feel to it, it’s very homey. Our customers have been nothing but supportive since opening our doors and we will continue to work hard and send out a product we are proud of.”
Mario’s Pizzeria & Ristorante opened in March of 2021. It is a family-owned and operated Italian restaurant that offers dine-in, takeout and delivery. They also offer a full catering menu for all of your holiday gatherings and parties. Just ask for Ferrentino or his business partner Nikko Plescia when calling and they will be happy to help you any way they can.
“You could call us a pizza shop, but we’re so much more than that,” Ferrentino said. “Our menu is recipes that our family brought over from Bracigliano, Italy when they immigrated. It’s not your normal typical pizza shop. We offer something for everyone with choices of appetizers, soups, salads, wings, grinders, pizzas, pastas and many classic Italian dinner entrees.”
Somers has always been the town Ferrentino envisioned because it was close to where he grew up in East Longmeadow. He shared that he fell in love with the town, how family-oriented and close-knit it was. When the opportunity came, Ferrentino knew it was the perfect fit.
“We’re really happy we’re in Somers,” Ferrentino said. “They have supported us right from the very beginning. We want to continue putting out good products, work hard and ultimately give the best to Somers.”
Mario’s Pizzeria & Ristorante is open Tuesday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 8 p.m. You can contact them through mariossomers.com or message them directly through their Facebook page which is facebook.com/mariospizzeriaandristorante.
