We ordered for 12 people and it was delicious. The Mario pizza was fantastic. We also ordered pepperoni and sausage and mush/onion. We had salad and spaghetti as well. Great service, fast and we picked up 30 minutes from time of order. We all loved it from 16 years old to 83 years. Must visit or take out. Our first time ever

This was my first visit to Mario’s on Varner. Or, any Mario’s for that matter. I had a large Chicken Caesar Salad. It was very good. My husband had the dinner special Lasagna. It was excellent! The proportions were very good sized, especially the salad and the wine! The service was okay. Nothing special. We got what we needed but was a little slow considering it wasn’t a very busy night. I would recommend this restaurant. They had a nice variety of Italian food. But s lot of red sauce items. I would like to try the pizza. It seemed to be very popular.

Mario’s at Varner and Washington now has a fantastic Happy Hour from 3-5 every day. With , $4,$5 or $6 options there is something for all!! The full menu ,of course is also available but the happy hour menu is awesome for those with a lighter appetite & who are out to enjoy the daily company of their friend’s, with a drink and a bite to eat:)

Great food and service. The food came out quickly, hot, and delicious. Everything was seasoned well I didn’t feel the need to add anything extra to the food. The garlic bread was too good, I would get two baskets next time. They had a good variety of drinks to enjoy and they had quick and friendly service. This is a great place to go to and go back to.

Went with 11 people. The service was very friendly but it took 50 minutes to get our food. The portions were very large but the food was over cooked and over seasoned with garlic and salt. Not a very authentic or complex flavor but “tasty”. Everyone in general enjoyed their meal. I would probably not eat here again.

Love this place, regardless what location in the desert. Food, service, and famous full glass of wine is what I think about when sharing my experience. My recommendations are chicken marsala and chicken piccata. Also the antipasto salad. Cheers!
