I love Mario and was so looking forward to this meal but left sadly dissatisfied. On the positive side our service was very good and the server was very helpful with his personal suggestions and honest opinions. The food came out quick and was very hot.
On the down side the food is pricey for what you get. I had the special shrimp pizza for $20 and while good it was not "that" good. The special melon salad with prosciutto was a major disappointment. The melon was very unripe and was hard. There was way too much mint on the salad which overpowered the bland melon also the tiny sliver of prosciutto did not justify the $14 price tag. The assortment of fritti we tried were a mixed bag with the cauliflower being excellent but the squash blossoms squirted out their hot filling right onto my wife making quite a mess. The server said that happens some times.... Maybe a warning would be appropriate. We did like the gelato sundae dessert as it was rich and creamy and not over sweet.
I wanted to love this place but the $100 price tag was just not justified.
I will continue to wear my orange Mario crocs with pride
