Mario's

A full-house isn't uncommon at Mario's - the kind of casual local eatery every suburb ought to have. It starts right from opening with families sharing thin-based pizzas and gelato, and morphs as the night wears on into groups of friends gossiping over big bowls of pasta. Tuck into tangy vitello limone, thin slices of veal served with steamed vegies and lemon sauce, or maybe Mamma's homemade lasagne with a side of soccer (care of a big-screen telly). The dessert pizzas are legendary; try the calzone filled with banana and topped with vanilla gelato and a sprinkling of coconut. Italia tropicale!
