About the Business
Welcome to Marios, the iconic institution located in the heart of Fitzroy, on Brunswick Street. As a beloved cafe, restaurant, and store, Marios has become a true point of interest for both locals and visitors alike in Australia.
Established in 1986 by Mario Maccarone and Mario De Pasquale, Marios was born out of a radical vision to create a new and inclusive dining experience in the bohemian quarter just north of Melbourne's CBD.

At Marios, we pride ourselves on exceptional quality and accessibility for casual diners. Our menu showcases traditional yet distinctive dishes that will satisfy even the most discerning taste buds. And the best part? Breakfast is served until 5pm, so you can enjoy your favorite morning delights at any time of the day.
But Marios is not just about food. Our cellar boasts a handpicked selection of local and international wines, ensuring that every sip complements your dining experience. And of course, no visit to Marios would be complete without indulging in our excellent coffee, which remains undiluted by any trendy fads or decaf options.
One unique aspect of Marios is its commitment to showcasing local and emerging artists. Since 1988, the walls of our establishment have been adorned with a dynamic exhibition of artworks in various media. Curated by Melanie Caple, the collection is ever-evolving, providing a platform for artists to showcase their talent and adding an extra layer of cultural richness to your dining experience.
If you can't get enough of Marios' flavors at the restaurant, we have exciting news for you! Our famous pasta sauces and wines are now available to take away, allowing you to savor the taste of Marios in the comfort of your own home.

Reviews
"Super authentic Italian menu with friendly, personal service. There was nothing to fault all night. The pricing is super affordable for the quality and quantity of food you're going to receive. Tables felt a little squished together, but personally that just adds to the atmosphere for me. Only thing, I wish you could book ahead, to avoid waiting outside on Melbourne's freezing winter nights."
"Italian home style cooking restaurant price $ to $$ for breakfast and dinner is what you get at that price. No bookings it’s walk in. Parking challenging at rush hour so factor in time to get there. Got nothing else to add ontop of other reviews it’s pretty accurate. Service is great, been coming on and off over th years this place is an institution and dependable in terms of food and service you can’t go wrong."
"Such a great local with brilliant vibes. It's well priced too, which makes it a great spot to visit regularly with friends or family. I went for lunch and had 2 pasta dishes which were wonderful. The arancini however was a bit disappointing as it was under seasoned and lacked any flavour. It may have a been a one off, but still wouldn't put me off returning again. Service was great."
"We went there on a Sunday lunch, it was busy. The calamari was fine, nothing extraordinary, the salad was small and again nothing woww. The pasta were fine. The place is animal friendly and the service was okay. Parking is a challenge but it always is in Melbourne. I wouldn't go back"
"Beautiful Italian restaurant with amazing food!! The pasta was delicious and the liver entrée is a must-try! The service was quick and the attention was great. I would go there again for sure!"
