Mario's Pizza And Italian Eatery — Restaurant in Cape May

Finding good pizza (or passable bagels, for that matter) in Cape May has long been a losing battle. I ordered takeout from Mario's last night, and won't be doing so again.

This restaurant needs better quality control. Upon returning home, I discovered our chicken Caesar salad lacked any dressing.

My husband is Celiac and broke out. Because it was not made in a dedicated pizza oven. The parking was not free like they advertised. It was 8.00 and there was no bathroom.
