Mario DiSiena has brought his love for antique cars and food together in a new enterprise. Uncle Mario\u2019s Garage, a restaurant and bar, recently opened in Queensbury. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The building housing the business was formerly Sutton\u2019s Marketplace. Extensive revovations, which took two years, were required before opening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe had repairs that needed to be addressed, but we also reinvented our building into something great,\u201d said DiSiena. \u201cI brought my love of antique cars, motorcycles and trains into my restaurant.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Twenty employees work with the DiSiena family to operate the restaurant. Mario\u2019s wife, Diane, keeps the books. His daughter, Emily, greets\u00a0 <\/span>customers and manages the multiple floors that display products for sale. His son, Michael, oversees deliveries. Emily\u2019s boyfriend, Steve Lisciani, helps with anything that\u2019s needed. Jeanette Walter, who worked 20 years as a manager at Panzas in Saratoga, is the general manager.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>\u201cI have worked every job in a restaurant,\u201d Walter sad. \u201cI\u2019ve been a cook, a dishwasher, a server, a bartender and in management.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur staff is treated like family and they want to come to work,\u201d said DiSiena. \u201cI\u2019m very proud of my extended family.\u201d<\/p>\n

DiSiena\u2019s personal car collection is on display at the restaurant. There\u2019s Henry, a 1939 Ford stakebed pickup. Lucy is a 1924 Chevrolet C Cab similar to the Model T. Angie is a 2020 Corvette Blade Silver with a V8 engine. Mario is a 2010 BMW M3 eight-cylinder convertible, and Monroe (after Marilyn) is a 1957 blue and white Cadillac DeVille.<\/p>\n

Next door to Uncle Mario\u2019s Garage, the DiSiena family also owns The Furniture House, which has been in business since 1980\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDiane and I started the furniture house in 1980, doing furniture repairs then selling antique reproductions and contemporary upholstery,\u201d said DiSiena. \u201cThe furniture we sell is Amish with a mix of the finest imports that can\u2019t be found domestically. Only good quality and you\u2019ll love our selection.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They deliver their furniture all over the country.<\/p>\n

Uncle Mario\u2019s Garage serves lunch and dinner with a creative menu that consists of wood-fired pizza, burgers, chicken, pulled pork, sandwiches, salads, vegan dumplings and mac-and-cheese. There is a possibility of including breakfast in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The decor consists of car front and back ends with headlights that light up, and the tables are slices of trees. They also have unique gifts, one-of-a-kind furniture, and sculptures. The gifts and furniture are upstairs at the restaurant.<\/p>\n

The restaurant has 174 seats with indoor and outdoor seating. It is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 11 a.m.-9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m.-10 p,m.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bands are being booked on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Check out www.unclemariosgarage.com\/ for details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
