This small bistro is an excellent choice for dinner. We were promptly seated at one of the 9 tables. There were plenty of affordable wine choices for everyone to get their own varietal. Lots of "warm from the oven" bread. For appetizers we had freshly steam mussels, caprese salad and sausage antipasta. Then we were each served a large bowl... more

We enjoyed the daily special Spinach & Cheese Stuffed Ravioli and regular menu item Eggplant Parmiagiana. The food was very hot, a must for pasta, and included house salad and warm baguette with butter. Total with 3 drinks came to $44. Interior of the restaurant was tastefully decorated and typical of a southern Italian eatery including small size with only... more

Mario is from Tuscany and his offerings are very good though not exclusively from that region. He makes especially fine use of the local seafood (and, happily, there is salt in the bread).

Just returned from Florida and used TA for suggestions. Glad I did. This was a superb meal. Just in a little strip mall. Once inside, you will be delighted with the food. Don't drive by this one. more

Not a classy location, but really great food at reasonable prices and friendly staff! more

Marios is the best kept seceret on the beach. It a quaint little restaurant with about 10 tables. The food is wonderful, the people who work there are super friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great home made meal! more
