Bistro 44 Is Now Mario's Pizza

This is a pretty small and cozy restaurant. It is one of my favorite places in town to eat at. Beer and wine are available. I love their pizza and feel that it's the best in town and I've tried nearly all. I would describe their crust as thin when compared to other pizza places. The other menu items can hit and miss. Their wet burrito is good but not great. They recently overhauled their menu and added a few items. They now have one or two soups available daily and I gave a big thumbs up for the chicken noodle. Their Italian salad dressing is made inhouse and is very good. They do get busy and they do some bang up drive-through business. They open at 16:00, so I either suggest getting there before 17:30 or try for a later dinner around 19:30. They are under relatively new ownership and there have been some ongoing adjustments being made to the staff, menu, and preparation. I like Kayla and Shelly for my waitress. I would describe parking as adequate for the location. As another reviewer mentioned, an Olive Garden will open soon in this market and I hope that it will prove to be some healthy competition as any restaurant should have the room and impetus to improve.

Top tier Italian food in Michigan- our server was so friendly and made great recommendations! My favorite part was the Mario in the entrance greeting you!

Half taco salad was greasy with almost zero dressing. Burrito sauce was not good on a flat overdone burrito.Wait time was long despite 5 empty tableswe sat with another couple who were waiting for their food and our food arrived before theirs.Not likely to return

Don't let the look fool ya! This place has excellent service and where else can you get a burrito and spaghetti at the same place!

Wouldn't recommend after new ownership! Burnt food, incorrect orders, downsized portions, and simply no flavor. Take out has forgotten items on many occasions and they've cut back on sides no more salsa and chips with burrito) Use to be favorite place. Avoid spending your money!
