- Mario has been friends with REM front man, Michael Stipe since grade school. They remain great friends, doing television specials together, to this day.

ADD QUOTES
- Mario: My family is Italian. When I was a child we would pick blackberries, baby onions, and all kinds of produce and preserve them. Food was natural, it made sense. Working in Italy changed my life and now I try to bring it to New York. I learned so much about keeping things simple. That makes great food.
