We usually get a room when we go thru Lake Havasu so that we can eat at Mario's. We have been coming here for over 10 years and it is as good as ever. Everything is great and stays the same year after year. Good service and nice atmosphere. Give it a try !!!

Yum to my pink vodka sauce! Delicious and very flavorful! I like that they sell 1/2 bottles of wine too! My mom loved her marinara sauce with sausage! She said there was lots of sausage and was pleased. Our waitress Rebecca was attentive and delightful! She added to our very lovely Italian dinner experience. Oh and the balsamic dressing on salad was very tasty too!

We were greeted at the door by the warmest and best worker their Son. After a long day on the lake our best time yet with friends they recommended going to Mario's for The Infamous Ribeye steak, with potatoes and asparagus that were to die for! The wine was inviting and the homemade cannoli was delicious. I loved the atmosphere and booth seating. The salad was crisp and refreshing. I will definitely be back for the steak!

It was my birthday and I chose Mario's because I wanted to try the ribeye. I had been there before and thought the food was great. I had heard many folks rave about the ribeye, so I have been wanting to try it out. There were 5 of us and we made reservations for 6 pm on a Friday night. They only accept reservations for a party of 5 or more. They sat us in a large table near the bar. The server attended to us immediately and was friendly and efficient. Each meal comes with salad and bread sticks. Those alone are a meal by themselves and are very good. The dinner portions are huge and all of us had to take home some food. My friend had the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were baseball size and very tasty. We also had the Chicken Florentine which was equally fantastic. The ribeye didn't disappoint. I ordered it with the "Surf & Turf" which included 2 shrimp and 2 scallops. It was a huge portion of meat, I ordered the red potatoes, and it came with asparagus. The meat was cooked perfectly and wasn't too fatty. The potatoes were fantastic with a hint of seasoning. The shrimp and scallops came in a butter sauce. I received 3 shrimp tasted very good and were of average size. The scallops were outstanding but not overly big. Overall, we had a great meal.

After all these years of going to Havasu, I finally gave this place a try. It's amazing and we'll definitely go back for their scrumptious meals and fantastic service.

We've enjoyed Mario's on several occasions and have never been disappointed. The old school atmosphere and service is cool. We typically stick to the essentials; salad, breadsticks, meatballs, chicken parm, lasagne. All of those items are spot on delicious! Tonight we decided to branch out and try the special, which was a chicken shrimp carbonara. We both didn't care for it. Sauce was runny and vegetables were not cooked, shrimp was like cocktail shrimp, tail on etc... It was light, but not our thing. We will stick with the essentials.

Like Olive Garden, but authentic and delicious! We were thankfully accommodated as a walk-in for dinner. The server graciously brought us breadsticks and salad before bringing our dinner. I had a sangria and seafood diablo dish. The sauce was a good spicy. My only complaint is that it didn't have a single scallop despite the menu description. Will definitely return next time we are in time, but with a reservation!

Love Mario's - staff is always friendly and food is consistent. I usually sit at the bar. Mario's is usually very busy and recommend reservations. Once seated and ordered bread and salad are provided with house dressing. Meatball appetizer- get em! Two large moist meatballs served with sauce and cheese. (Sometimes I just have these for dinner) My go to is chicken piccata - nice portion size. The sauce is light and just right and plenty of capers.
