Choose your table, study the menu, and order from various food stations serving pizza, pasta and various other Italian style foods. Once you've ordered, press your card against a 'reader' and the cost of your purchase will be registered against it. When you leave, just present your card and your total will appear. The restaurant is spacious and can cope with just a few people or many dozens. There's an outside balcony with good views over the plaza, and a terrific view of a storm when we were there! Staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. We ordered a Truffle Oil pizza, and there were various herbs and oils we could add to it once served. It was the best pizza I've had in ages. The bar serves a good range of drinks and the Riesling is heavenly. Great concept, great food, great place. Recommended.

We were walking around the Paradise Centreshopping center planning to go to another Italian…read morerestaurant we went to yesterday, when we saw this girl with a pizza in hand for us to sample. It was very good. Then she told us about this restaurant and gave me a coupon for free garlic bread. It's on the 2nd floor, hard to know it exists from downstairs. So I was really surprised to see such a nice place. I love the decor and ambience. They also have outdoor seating. Service was great. We ordered the Gamberi E Spinaci Risotto, really good . The Chicken Fettuccine Carbonara was definitely a winner. The kid's pizza was adorable. They really put their hearts into it. This lychee drink is amazing. You gotta try it.

On our first night (and visit) in Broadbeach we decided on Italian for dinner. Checked T/A for the…read moretop Italian Restaurants and Mario's popped up in the top three. After reading the reviews and visiting the websites for each, Mario's moved to number one. Off we go! Well, it turns out that we did not have to go far as Mario's is just two blocks from our hotel. Mario's is located along the outside promenade of The Oasis Broadbeach Mall |Beach end. There are about a dozen restaurants along the promenade all of which have open front inside and outdoor dining. We choose a table along the promenade to take advantage of the ocean breeze. I spotted the Mussels Provencale and my wife decided on the Penne Pollo. We decided to share each. The mussels are steamed in white wine, garlic, herb & Napoli sauce and served in a large covered pot along with a small sliced loaf of bread. The Penne Pollo includes tender chunks of chicken, chorizo, semi-dried tomato and Spanish onion in light cream sauce. We added a small loaf of garlic bread ($8.50) to take advantage of both sauces (especially the mussel's sauce). Both dishes were very good but being from California and very familiar with authentic Mexican ingredients, we were both disappointed with the chorizo in the Penne Pollo dish. After a couple of trys, we separated it out and worked around it. More than offsetting the strange flavored chorizo was our server, Natha. She was very friendly and welcoming. Right off she knew we were not Australians and queried about our travel. When she found that we were from Southern California, she told us of her time in the US on the West Coast. We talked for a while sharing her stories of the US and our travels in New Zealand and Australia. She asked if we would like a picture together, to which we agreed. We left feeling that we had just found a new friend.

I just want to commend this restaurant for how it dealt with a difficult situation. We had…read moreinitially made a booking at a different Italian restaurant for 25 people on Saturday night but the lady who I booked with couldn't do her job and never wrote it down so they had no idea what we were talking about when we arrived to eat. Instead of dealing with a hard situation appropriately they brushed us off and were completely and utterly rude. They were accusing me of making the mistake instead of taking responsibility for their own mistake. This left 25 people annoyed, especially me who was disappointed in how we were treated. We then went wandering for a different restaurant and ended up at Marios. I just want to seriously commend and thank the staff at Marios, especially the older man who seems to be the owner/manager. You did a fantastic job at helping me in a tough situation and were very gentle in nature, calming and you know how to handle customers. I was is a feral and stressed mood but you managed to pull through with the goods and deserved every penny of the $650+ we spent that night. The staff are lovely, including all of the waiters etc. The restaurant is nice and the food was great. The portion sizes are generous. I would come back here again mainly because of the way they handled the situation. I take my hat off to them for working out a solution in a tough situation when the restaurant is booked out. It's not easy finding space for 25 people at a busy time. Thanks for your help that night. I am pretty sure the owners of Marios are the same as Valentinos, but I would never step a foot back in Valentinos after the way I was treated. The Valentinos staff need to be fired and new staff hired & trained by whoever runs Marios as they know what they're doing.

Walking in I immediately noticed it reminded me of Islands or Dukes from the States. It has surfboards all around, focuses on the beach, and is a popular burger joint. I checked in with the hostess and was directed to my friend's table. Menus are already located on each table as well as napkins and condiments. I chose to order the Mona Lisa which had truffle sauce and caramelized onions. Those were the ingredients that led me to my decision. I also ordered a virgin strawberry daiquiri as I dint drink alcohol but it sounded delicious. The food came out relatively fast and my burger was delicious! It was far better than I expected. The drink was fantastic as well, however lost one star on the review due to them charging me the same price as if I had gotten it with alcohol. Overall a fun place to go with a group of friends or a very casual date night. It tends to get pretty loud so I wouldnt go here on a date if you want to talk and get to know someone.
