About

Mario's is a true DC institution that triggers deep nostalgia for many. While long-time fans love the classic steak and cheese and pizza, recent reviews highlight a decline in quality and consistency. Many complain about the food being greasy or dry, and service can be abrasive. It remains a staple, but it's definitely not the same spot it was 30 years ago.
