Italian restaurant Mario's is back in business, this time in Penfield. 

Mario's closed its Monroe Avenue location in 2015. The Daniele family is working to bring a Whole Foods to that site.

They turned to their other location, Bazil's on Empire Boulevard along Irondequoit Bay, which has been renamed Mario’s Homemade Pasta Kitchen.

Not only does the new location feature a large indoor dining room, but it has added outdoor space as well as a new ice cream parlor next to the restaurant. 

The owner says he wants to bring back the energy that Mario's has always been known for. 

"We have revitalized Mario's. Most people remember me by me saying, 'You're not just a customer, you are my special guest," said owner Mario Daniele.
