Mario's restaurant to reopen at the Bazil location on Irondequoit Bay

The owners of Mario’s restaurant on Monroe Avenue say they will be bringing back that eatery, but at a different location.

They say that after almost 3 years since the last meal was served on Monroe Avenue, they will open a restaurant in the space now occupied by their current Bazil Restaurant on Irondequoit Bay.

The new restaurant is called Mario’s Homemade Pasta Kitchen, and Mario Daniele says it hearkens back to his roots of growing up in Italy eating in his mother’s kitchen.

His son, Danny Daniele, says they had hoped to reopen Mario’s last year in the proposed Whole Foods plaza, where the former restaurant had been, but with the delays in approvals on the property they decided to open at the Bazil spot.

Bazil will continue under that banner until May 20.
