The best Italian food in San Bernardino! Great food, great drinks, and the best pizza you're going to find anywhere! I've been going to The Mug since I was a little kid and, forty years later, it's still just as good as ever. Family friendly, great for large groups and small.
I went here with a friend to kill time while waiting for a concert at the San Manuel amphitheater, any of the people who gave it a great review clearly don't get out of San Bernardino very often. The atmosphere was somewhere between scary and dirty. Right when you walk in there is a cage on your right with tables inside then there is another 2 dining rooms that felt less like I was going to prison. We started off our meal with the garlic cheese bread, which was surprisingly good, so we had high hopes for the pepperoni pizza we ordered. The pizza tasted like peppercorn and oregano, and that was about it and if there was sauce on it we certainly couldn't see it. The "service" was basically nonexistent. Our waitress came up asked us what we wanted to drink and instantly walked away only to come back about 10 minutes later to tell us they were out of Bacardi, I don't know how that happens, but it did. When we ordered food she I've again just walked away. I could understand if it were busy and they were overwhelmed, but there was only is and two other parties in the whole place. The only reason I give it two stars is that we liked the garlic cheese bread, but there is no way I'd ever go to this place again
Been going there for 45 years. Never had a bad meal. The menu upgrade is amazing (Burgers are the best). The Lasagna is to die for. Pizzas are amazing (no matter what the price). Service is outstanding and the pitchers of Margarits will m ake you dance! Oh, don't forget the sausage sandwich on garlic toast with a side of spaghetti....your socks will roll up and down!
