The only reason we rated it average is for the food, that is it's saving factor. Sometimes the food takes awhile to get out if it's busy, that is 100% understandable. For the price, you get huge portions, that taste better than sophisticated restaurants and at the fraction of the cost. After reading other reviews, we have to agree and disagree with other patrons. The food is good, yes. The location is convenient, yes. Parking is so/so, yes. The service is bad, yes and no. I must admit when we go there, we hope that the management did some employee changes. Some of the staff is great, when they decide to behave like a staff. It is never a good thing when you are once in awhile tempted to get up and get your own food,drink,napkins,or red pepper etc. Or when you hear the guys and gals playing around with each other in the back. Or the CUSTOMER that is being a pain, who angered the staff and then whole restaurant has to hear obscenities. If the owner had a experienced and responsible manager, that can be there and run the restaurant like a proper business, mario's would be the best place to eat in central Florida. Other than those few bumps, it is really worth it to try the excellent food and enjoy it in a place where you can relax. I swear you really will end up craving their pizza and other dishes!
Pros: Food, location
Cons: Parking and staff
