Their takeaway pizza has been a goto for myself over the last few years...like who could say no to pizza, but tonights dine in experience has completely won me. The service is no less then perfect, everyone we encountered had such great attitudes we were greeted, thanked and even waved goodbye by at least four staff members, the waitress we had was so polite and bubbly which just lights up the atmosphere. The food was delicious I ordered the Scaloppine Amore which i would certainly recommend to any veal eaters, perfectly cooked and portion size was certainly enough. My lovely lady had a All Meat Piza which as per ussual was great, Romanas certainly excels with their pizza. All in all a great experience and will 100% be back.

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.

You can't go wrong with any of the pizza and pasta options but I HIGHLY recommend the Amatriciana pasta, the Gnocchi and The Con's Special pizza. The Chilli Mussels are also definitely worth a visit.
