Shuttle service never showed up to take me to Fisher Theatre, which made me late for the performance. Afterwards my meal was truly unacceptable. I ate 3-4 bites and that Was all I could take. Next time I will deal with a restaurant that cares about the food they are presenting and how they treat their patrons.

Went there only once for a friend's birthday several years ago. Never again! Their so-called "valet" was rude as hell, no people skills whatsoever. (We tipped him generously, and he didn't even bother to grunt) The food was awful! I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo. The sauce was so watery it seemed like they had just taken the noodles out of the water and put them on my plate. Additionally, there wasn't an ounce of flavor! The server was pleasant enough, but that was it. Nothing about that place would ever make me want to go back.

This is my first time being there to enjoy a good meal and it was well recommended. But experience with the food was terrible cold this place its not worth it for me was the first time and last time.

Our meal was outstanding as well as the service and the ambiance of this historic oldest Italian Restaurant in Detroit.
We had a group of travelers with us from Portage Michigan who
were able to dine in a private dining room.

Had an absolute terrible experience. Ordered takeout and all three of our dishes were flavorless. Drove back to the restaurant to show them that we didn’t eat the dishes and the owner refused to give us a refund or offer to change our dishes. Don’t eat here. Bad food and terrible attitude from the staff.

We had.
Reservations at 530 for my birthday on March the second I have always celebrated my birthday at Mario's on March. The second and we also have always came to Mario's. For the Tuesday special, the food was terrible. Only thing good was the service people and it was not their fault, but the fool was terrible. I've never, ever had ordered frog legs at bar Mario's. That was drenched in Olive oil. The French Onion Soup was not French Onion Soup. It was just trouble that was the worst experience I have ever had and to be in that restaurant from 530 until a quarter to. 10 if nobody else was in there, but that's how long we had to wait for our food and how bad it was.

This restaurant is a blight on the community. Regularly has over grown grass and weeds obstructing the side walks. They also refuse to clear snow from the sidewalks for the pedestrian heavy area. And the dumpster across from their entrance is constantly overflowing and scattered everywhere. If that is how they maintain what people see, imagine their kitchen.

Service was rushed and when we received our bill
We had it split into 2 of a $198 meal and the waitress wrote in $34 tip on each receipt!!

We were appalled.

We had a second receipt and put in 20% tip.

Couldn't believe the waitress wrote in her own inflated tip.

This was always are go to place .. But last night will be our last time at Mario’s .. Sad service not good . I ordered veal Marcella been sick all night from it . I told her this veal is terrible. Taste bad. two little pieces hidden underneath mountains of peppers and onions, didn’t even taste like veal. Marcella dried out nasty very disappointed we asked for a table and a reservations with a booth. They put us in the room. The table had a slant they knew about it never did anything about it. The food would slide down you literally had, lean to eat we asked for more bread never got it. It was get you in and get you out. Service sucked. My Food was terrible but her ravioli was good. We will say that salads are good. But the veal got me sick. It’s like they ran out of food and hit it underneath peppers. No atmosphere whatsoever won’t be back anymore. Going there for years the last few times haven’t been good.

We dined at Mario’s last night for the first time… but not the last. The ambiance is old world Italian, the food was fabulous and the service was amazing. Our server was Nabil, who has been at Mario’s north of 50-years. Do Not miss this gem, you’ll be glad you went, but go hungry!!
