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 isn't one of them. Save your time, save your money. A disappointment.
