We arrived at Mario’s a half hour early for our reservation and they were able to accommodate us. We had an excellent meal from start to finish. Waiter was very knowledgeable - he was very helpful as one person in our party has a gluten intolerance. The calamari and asparagus appetizers were excellent as were the fish special (Chilean sea bass), the pumpkin gnocchi (another special), the zuppa di pesce, and the gamberetti fra diavolo. Would definitely return!
