Absolutely Mario

About

Mario Garcia worked in Italian restaurants for many years, as a waiter, then as a captain. All the while dreaming of opening his own place. He finally realized his dream when he opened Absolutely Mario. He was always very accommodating to the customers and no matter what they requested, his answer was "absolutely." He follows that same philosphy in running his own restaurant. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxing with Mario and his wife Consuelo greeting customers in their warm and gracious way. The comfortable dining room is decorated with lots of wood and boasts a fireplace, colorful leaded glass accents and candles on teh cloth covered tables. Regional Italian specialties fill the menu. Their signature dish is Absolutely Veal, a hearty dish of stuffed veal with prosciutto and cheese. We dined on a special of salmon with sweet grapes in a champagne sauce; and silky artichoke stuffed with tasty seasoned breadcrumbs. The wine list has reasonably priced selections from Australia, California, and Italy. Desserts are decadent treats and include rasberry crumb cheesecake, cannolis, tiramisu and cold zabaglione over fresh berris. Mario has a love and passion for his restaurant which comes across when he talks with his customers. Is he glad his dream finally came true? ABSOLUTELY!
