Mario's Ristorante Italiano Reviews
Spent $52 for two dinners. Chicken parmigiana was fair. The eggplant was raw. The noodles were overcooked and sauce had no flavor. I called and they suggested the eggplant in the oven. Horrible service and food. Do not waste your money
I have enjoyed many Italian restaurants in my home state of NJ, and this is by far a top notch restaurant! The food and staff are phenomenal and unmatched. I recommend this to anyone who visits the area!
Over priced for way below average Italian food that tasted like Chef Boyardi. Also it took almost 1 hr to get meal.

Mario's Ristorante Italiano is a small hidden gem with only 9 tables, offering authentic Italian food and friendly service. Despite its size, the staff efficiently turn tables, ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cozy dining room features an open kitchen where Chef Zac works his magic, and classic Italian tunes like Sinatra add to the charm. The menu includes must-tries like linguine with clams, cooked perfectly al dente and bursting with fresh, garlicky flavor. The homemade marinara on the chicken parmesan is rich and vibrant. Every meal comes with warm, crusty bread and a choice of soup or salad with their signature balsamic vinaigrette—both are fantastic. The place is charming, and the staff is attentive, making guests feel like family. Early bird specials from 5-6 PM offer great value. Located in a strip mall, Mario’s is a must-visit spot for those craving heartfelt Italian dishes in Madeira Beach.
