Our Story

A Legacy of Authentic Italian Flavors

Founded in 1987 by two brothers who brought their grandmother's recipes from the hills of Tuscany to the heart of Virginia, Mike & Mario's has been a cornerstone of Staunton's dining scene for decades.

What began as a modest trattoria has grown into a beloved institution where every meal is an occasion. Our kitchen continues to honor the traditions that made us who we are — using only the finest imported Italian ingredients alongside the best of Virginia's agricultural bounty.
