on Citysearch May 30, 2011My family's pre-wings game ritual has always included Greektown, or Mario's. I think they still have a shuttle service to Joe Louis? Love the multiple courses and the atmosphere, although it's probably time to... (more)

on Citysearch May 23, 2011Frank and Staff do their guests right. I've been a family friend since the late 80's and this place has the absolute only real Sicilian food in the D. I've watched as their pasta is made fresh in the kitchen. As their... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 02, 2010It is a stretch to give this place one star. I should start by saying I dine out frequently and this was by far my worst dining experience. From the moment we walked in the door this place was disappointing. The hostess... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 28, 2009I try to get down to Mario's as often as I can - which isn't very often given that I need to drive over an hour to get there. I can't say enough good things. We love everything we've tried and feel comfortable in the casual... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 27, 2008My intent is not to slame the resturant but to offer some suggestions for their apparent continued success, since the resturant appeared busy and the wall of fame would indicate that a number of well known... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 21, 2008I would not recommend this restaurant at all. I made a reservation for Saturday night because we had two relay teams running the detroit marathon the next day. I have never been treated worse in my life. The maitre'd... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 12, 2007The Chateaubriand at Mario's is beyond expectation. The Filet Mignon is to die for! The Zip Sauce drives me crazy!!! Service is fabulous and prompt. Don't miss this wonderful Detroit mainstay. It is romantic if you... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 03, 2007I want to love this place, I do. But, I don't. The atmosphere is great, though the lighting too bright for my taste. The service is pretty perfect for the place. The food; antipasto and bread to table right away;... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 20, 2006I can't remember the last time that I was so disappointed after a meal. The food reminded me of a Coney Island. But the worst part was the price you pay for such deliberately slow service and bad sports bar ambience. Not... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 25, 2006Good food, average service- the restaurant suffers from turnover of its waitstaff. I also don't like being "shaken down" going to the restroom- attendants demanding money for putting a glob of soap into your hand. A... (more)
