Mario's Restaurant combines old-world charm with excellent service, making it a standout dining destination. Known as the oldest Italian restaurant in Detroit, it offers five-course meals that provide great value, featuring generous portions including an entree. The restaurant skillfully accommodates dietary restrictions and is ideal for special occasions, thanks to its beautiful atmosphere. Guests have noted the old-school dress code, adding to the restaurant's unique charm, though some felt it could be a bit fancy. There have been instances where leftovers could not be taken away, leading to disappointment. However, many diners appreciate the complimentary bread, relish tray, salad, soup, and side of pasta that accompany each meal. Recent reviews highlight outstanding meals, such as the filet dinner special and the Lobster special, along with attentive service from staff like Phil. With its reasonable prices and discounts, Mario's remains a cute place for a throwback dining experience.
