Marios' Cafe - Réservation de table

(Coffee review). 4.0<br/ <br/ Comfortingly shabby inside here. No sign of modern style whatsoever. Old floor, old paint job, old counter. It’s not putting anyone off though as the effect is thrilling. There were young and old alike here today. I can see why. The coffee was superb. Strong as, great length, silky smooth. A very very good brew indeed. It lives up to the artisan coffee tag they’ve given themselves (not “artesian” as I heard someone mispronounce the word once). Service was mighty fine as well. Cooly amiable in that detached Melbourne way. I received two unsolicited smiles before I wandered on my way. Nice. I’ll be back.

Cute little cafe. Was recommended by a friend so paid a visit on a week day night. Night started quiet but it did get busier on the night. <br/ <br/ Garlic bread was nice and crunchy, love a crunchy garlic bread. Calamari salad was really nice, possibly one of the best calamari I have ever had. Main I had the chicken risotto and it was so nice! My friend's prawn spaghetti didn't seem to impress. Dessert was just a cake in the cake display and it was ok. Will be back for the yummy risotto again!

Mid week late lunch stopover.  Very busy but two wait staff from different sides of the cafe were quick to acknowledge our presence and offer suitable seating. Menus were in front of us in a blink as was water and an offering of bread. The lunch specials looked enticing and after talking about it later, offered excellent value. The Penne with Broccolini, Garlic, Anchovies, Chilli Thyme Pangrattato was absolutely magnificent.  Reasonable wines.Cannot wait to get back for another memorable meal.

Used to pop in to Mario’s a couple of times a week when I lived round the corner, always superb service and great consistent dishes, its not such a regular haunt these days now it’s a touch further away but lunch over the Easter break made me realise how good it is and that I should make the effort to pop in more often : The Amatriciana was perfect and went down all the better with a couple of reds. Both Mario’s on duty today was a pleasure to say hello, have missed the place : Réservez une table maintenant

An old favourite since 1986 when i wagged school and went for coffee. Hadn't been in years. Sunday breakfast was good. No smashed avo in sight. Bacon and eggs, good coffee, sensible portions and excellent service. Nice to see some things dont have to change much and still be good.

Mario’s Mario’s, how I do adore. <br/ <br/ Always a table. Always the spaghetti puttanesca. Always extra bread. <br/ <br/ Why does nobody else know how to puttanesca?<br/ <br/ Old faithful Mario’s, always good for that hankering. <br/ <br/ <br/

I'm eating toast and drinking beer at the same time. Of course I'm happy. Our waiter tells us Marios was the first place in Melbourne to offer all day breakfast extraordinary foresight. Réservez une table maintenant
