The Mother’s Day Brunch Buffet was delicious and the service was spectacular!!!! However, the Chicken Piccanta was not good, the chicken tasted old, I was very disappointed in my dish given the caliber of this restaurant.

Mario's is ALWAYS an excellent experience. The food and drinks are good and the staff are always pleasant. My favorite special is Lobster Tuesday. This meal, not including the drink, only cost me $15.99!

Our meal was outstanding as well as the service and the ambiance of this historic oldest Italian Restaurant in Detroit. We had a group of travelers with us from Portage Michigan who were able to dine in a private dining room.
