About this business

Since 1948, Mario's Italian Restaurant has been one of Detroit's most notable Italian restaurants, featuring table-side cooking of traditional dishes. Valet parking ushers a fine dining experience in the main room, with gorgeous paneled walls and mirrors, maintaining the 1940s charm. Beef Burgundy, Beef Siciliana, Lobster Thermidor, veal Marengo are among the favorite entrees, and Peach flambeau and Banana Tropicale desserts are popular.

Outstanding Food and Service!!! My family has been dining at Mario's for at least three decades. My dad took us when we were childre. I am well into my adulthood and Mario's remains my favorite restaurant. Having been there dozens of times, I have never had a bad experience. Just like anything else, there may be days that don't run as smoothly as others but in these cases, I have found management to be very efficient and attentive to concerns. The FOOD is absolutely authentic and outstanding, and of the highest quality.There... read more

In reading the previous reviews I was very surprised. My husband and i had a wonderful time - the food was great. I had Chicken parmesian and my husband had a filet. He said it was in the top 10 best steaks he had ever eaten. I know the restaurant has been here for years and probably could use a bit if sprucing up. Our waiter was cordial and discreet but brought us everything we needed. It wasn't a busy night. We'll definately go back!

A Tradition Mario's has been one of my family's favorites for decades. Very convenient pre-red wings game with a courtesy shuttle to Joe Louis. I love the old school atmosphere and the multiple course meals. Decor might need an update soon.

Horrible Experience My husband and I ate at Mario's in Detroit on February 13, 2010 to celebrate Valentine's Day. I will start by saying that I made reservations to surprise my husband whom has raved about Mario's for years. He had not been there in over 7 years but remembered the food being good. With that being said, I was very much looking forward to it. Let me also say that I have NEVER written a review for anything. I was so upset that I felt the need to state my comments. Since we had reservations we did not have to wa... read more

On December 27,2009 our group holiday dinning experience was poor from a waiter named Shannon at table # 27. I can get a rude, grumpy waiter any place for less money. We never received a wine/beer/beverage list, tea was served with no spoon and no saucer for the tea cup? I feel it is very over rated and over priced for the low quality you receive. The coat check was also poor, they hang multiple coats on a hanger? The best service received was from the Valet drivers.

I do understand the vintage feel. However, an extreme makeover is necessary.

Horrible This was one of the worst dining experiences of my life. I made a reservation for a large group well in advance. I even called that day to confirm we when we were arriving. it still took over a half hour for us to be seated, despite there being many open tables. If this isn't bad enough it is the way we were treated. The staff was not helpful, polite, or apologetic. We were not offered a seat at the bar. The maitre'd started all of his sentences with "well you know what..." I don't remember the last time anyone had ... read more
