Mario's is great! I live here and go to Mario's about once a month. It's the best in the area. The wines are supurb and the service quite good. (Ask for Susan, Amanda or Jim). Just remember: You are in Polk County, Florida. If you want fine food and wine, you choose Mario's or Antiquarian in Lakeland, or go to... more

My doctor's office is only a mile away from this place so we thought it would be nice to have lunch there. I became very ill in September 2008 and could not eat solid food until Feburary. We thought this would be a nice place to go to so I could have some soup. I still go to the docotrs... more

Mario's aspires to be a really good Italian restaurant, but a clueless hostess who immediately steered me to the table next to the restroom was not an auspicious start. I sought the restaurant out. But found it overrated, overpriced and, unfortunately, exuding pretention rather than good food. We've eaten in some really good Italian restaurants around the country, and this... more
