“First time eating at Mario's but it won't be our last - the food was absolutely delicious and the service excellent. Also loved how Mario took the time to talk to people and make us feel welcome. Outstanding restaurant, outstanding food and very reasonably priced (including the cocktails which my partner informs me were lovely!); highly recommended!”

“What a truly wonderful experience to dine here, the food is absolutely delicious. Thank you to Mario for taking the time during service to chat to diners as such a special touch and says so much about him and how much he values all that visit his restaurant. Oliver an staff were brilliant and so very accommodating and helpful throughout our meal and can't thank them enough for such a great evening. Look forward to returning very soon. Can't recommend Marios highly enough as such a fabulous place to dine for all, famiy and couples. We absolutely love it. Thank you all for doing such a fabulous job and making all so welcome.”

“Great food as always, mario is a legend and always makes time between cooking his to die for dishes to see each and every customer. I couldn't possibly decide which is better between Sharp wit, hosting or his Culinary skills in the kitchen. So dont take my word for it get down there and decide for yourself 😎🕺🏻”
