Mario’s on Lake Ave is an absolute gem! The food was incredible—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. They went above and beyond to accommodate a special food request without hesitation, which really stood out. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, making it such a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. A special thank you to our waitress, Monica, who made us feel like family from the moment we sat down. Her kindness and attention made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend!

Most wonderful Italian restaurant in South Florida.
Someone was impersonating me on the reviews, I enjoyed this restaurant. Wish I could feel comfortable coming back, unfortunately the bald bartender is telling people at other bars I’m leaving reviews (under a fake profile that nobody even followed up on.) Oh well. The worst part is he approached a very nice guy who is special needs and scared the crap out of him at a neighboring bar down the street called the rock Irish pub. I wouldn’t want him to represent my business. Hopefully he’s not the owner. What makes this a shame most of all is there’s not a lot of good restaurants in the area and the clams are good.

Fantastic restaurant. Our server, Laura, was great. I can't think of anything that could have been done better. Food was very good.

I have ate here many times - even when they had the old location on Ocean Ave. Slowly the food has not been good so I have went less often. Today was my last time going. I was eating Alfredo and I got the distinct taste of metal. I figured my taste buds were off and then about 6 bites in - I have a piece of metal in my mouth!

I love Mario's food and customer service; Leo is the best. However, I prefer to avoid Friday and Saturday nights as both the sound and the singer's voice are so loud that it's difficult to enjoy dinner.

Everything was excellent, from cocktails to desserts 🏆
White linen table service with knowledgable and passionate staff who are proud of the food here! They also have a pet friendly outsode seating area. Our waiter made some great suggestions since we were looking to get some appetizers to share instead of dinners. We ordered the Broccoli Rabe and Sausage, which was considered a side dish but was the size of a dinner. Also the hot antipasto which included eggplant rollatini, clams oreganato, shrimp scampi etc. Everything was so fresh and delicious and prices were in line. Definitely looking forward to going back for a full dinner.

It was okay because there was a group of us and we had fun and our server Monica was very nice, but over our table space was quite tight, and I had the lasagna and it was a little bit salty, and I bought some home and was eating and pull out a long piece of hair! We had gone to Mario's for an affair located in Boca Raton, and it was absolutely fabulous, and we thought it was the same as Mario's in Boca Raton and they are not same.

We went on April 13, 2025 after the theater matinee. We had a lovely waitress Laura, and Dan, the waiter both were absolutely charming and attentive. We had a great Caesar salad with the best dressing ever, we got the lobster scampi which was so delicious. We had cocktails before, And crème brûlée for dessert. The atmosphere was lovely, clean, white starch table cloths, Heavy silverware. We both were so pleased with the meal.

We sat at a sidewalk table and enjoyed watching the world go by...a place to linger, chat and enjoy one more glass of wine...
We were so pleased with the mussels! Dip the buttery bread in the broth. You won't regret it!
The portions were generous, the prices fair and our server was genuine and friendly. He made it, not just a delicious meal, but a wonderful experience.

My wife and I had dinner at Marios this evening and were very satisfied. Our server Charlie was excellent and the food was also excellent. Would not hesitate to go back,
