We had a large party of 7 adults and 3 kids. I needed gluten-free, and my daughter is vegetarian. We all had a delicious meal - and I was so happy to be able to have gluten free penne pasta with Alfredo sauce! The pizzas...looked great too!Everything was great, and the hostess was especially friendly and welcoming. Look forward to visiting again next time we are there for vacation.More

This place is great for casual or slightly dressed up evening out. My wife and I split a large pizza and had leftovers (on purpose -had to leave room for dessert). The food was delicious and our server, Peter, was very knowledgeable of the menu...and very attentive, as well. Relaxed atmosphere, just an all around nice place. We have already made plans to return soonMore

Have visited Mario’s at least three times. Italian Nachos were a first this time. What a great surprise. Very tasty. Their pizza is really quite good. Their deep dish is the best. A really good variety of dishes on the menu. Don’t forget their gelato....Each time they had different flavors. My favorite so far is the lemon crunch. Prices are fair and staff is very kind.More

Hostess was wonderful, but the waitress and bartender seemed to have better things to do than their jobs. Drinks took forever, waters were never refilled, salads had NO dressing, and the condiments took over 8 minutes to arrive after the order. To top it off,...the busboy (constantly walking around cleaning up tables) had the WORST case of body odor ever (which was not appetizing). Sad to say this place will probably go down the drain unless they get their staff reorganized. Thumbs down.More

If you really like Italian food or have been to Italy this place will seem average at best. Even the pizza was average. You pay way to much just to be average.More

Outstanding customer service, food and atmosphere. We wanted a change from the fast food we'd been eating and chose Mario's. Small crowd but seated within 10 minutes. Our waiter was spot on with his timing and suggestions. The service was amazing, and the food was...unbelievable. Go for the lasagna and finish everything with their cheesecake. House cab paired well with the meal. View of the ocean and plenty of parking. Family friendly atmosphere makes this a pick for those with kids. Every member of the staff hustled to get the food out and bend over backwards to appreciate you and your business. Highly recommend!!More

After passing a few seafood restaurants with long wait times one of our party suggested Mario’s. So glad we went. They had a 30-40 minute wait time. It was close to closing time, so we sat at the bar and planned to eat there. Not...5 minutes later, they called our name and we were sat at a table. I had a delicious Veal Marsala, my son had a massive spaghetti bowl with a meatball and sausage link, hubby had a huge and beautifully presented fisherman’s stew. It was well over an hour after closing time when we left and there were still many people eating. Servers are fantastic and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant!More

We came here on mother's day. There was no wait and the food came out quickly. The salad(additional cost) lacked everything and the bread was cold and stale. The entrees were salty.
