Mario’s Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

Located in the Oasis Shopping Centre in the heart of Broadbeach, the iconic Mario’s Italian Restaurant has been serving locals since 1989. Specialising in authentic and modern Italian dishes, Mario’s is a must-visit which won’t disappoint.

There’s a real modern Italian feel to the restaurant which is accompanied by classical music which softly plays in the background. The friendly staff show us to our table and recommend their favourite dishes, taking real pleasure in making our dining experience enjoyable.

Whilst looking over the menu the smell of aromatic herbs wafts through the restaurant around us. Having been given a sneak peak of the dishes being prepared by the busy chefs through the open kitchen, we went for the classic of carbonara and the more off-the-wall Mexicana pizza, and let’s not forget a side of garlic bread.

The carbonara was a pure delight. The ultra creamy parmesan cheese sauce was smooth and perfectly seasoned with a nice touch of pepper. With ham, pepperoni, capsicum and onion the Mexicana pizza didn’t disappoint. The powerful punch of flavours and the pizza base sauce pulls it all seamlessly together with every last slice being eaten. The garlic bread, an essential staple for any Italian dinner was delicious. We’ll definitely be back.
