About Mario’s Seawall Italian & Pizzeria
Mario’s Seawall Italian Restaurant has been a beloved part of the Galveston community since its founding in 1973 by Antonio and Nilde Smecca, along with their sons, Johnny and Joey Smecca. With a passion for authentic Italian cuisine and an unwavering dedication to hospitality, the Smecca family worked tirelessly alongside their employees to create the fine dining experience that guests continue to enjoy today.
What started as a humble family venture has grown into a cherished culinary institution, known for its authentic family recipes, award-winning cuisine, and warm, inviting atmosphere. Decades later, Mario’s Seawall remains a family-owned and operated restaurant, with Antonio and Nilde’s sons, Johnny and Joey, continuing their legacy. Now, the next generation—grandsons Anthony and Myles Smecca—carry forward the tradition of excellence, ensuring that every guest experiences the same heartfelt hospitality and authentic flavors that have defined Mario’s for over 50 years.
Whether you’re a longtime patron or visiting for the first time, every meal at Mario’s Seawall is a tribute to family, tradition, and a love for great food.
