Great place! Delicious food, and fun energy. We stayed at the marco island hilton and it’s a close walk to the hotel. Situated off an open air court that hosts other restaurants and stores. Great energy and a busy place! Service was wonderful. The wait staff was attentive but our waiter gave us time to breathe, talk, get settled. And the same with our food- he let us enjoy our appetizer before ordering entrees. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Despite a 445pm reservation, the restaurant was energetic and filling quickly. The food was fantastic, and our server was exceptional. An overall wonderful experience.

Had to push our reservation due to flight issues and the staff was very accommodating for a busy Friday night. Ending up getting there early and found a spot at the bar. Bartender was extremely friendly and provided great service. Only complaint would be two dogs on the patio, one of which was sitting on one of the barstools.

About the restaurant
2019 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Restaurants in America

Our signature Marco Island steakhouse, Ario, offers an elegant dining room with a menu that is globally inspired and locally sourced. Choose from our in-house 35-day, dry-aged steaks or fresh seafood, and allow our sommeliers and mixologists to complete the experience with the perfect American wine or handcrafted cocktail.

At Ario, we believe fine dining should be orchestrated like an art form, enabling an experience that is as thought-provoking as it is delicious. The dress code is business casual. Thank you for not wearing gym attire, sports or logoed t-shirts, tank tops, beachwear, flip-flops, and hats.

For holiday reservations, please contact Jennifer Stark at jennifer.stark@marriott.com or 239-393-3226. All holiday menus will be pre-fixed special menus; no regular menus will be available for Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas dinner, or New Year's Eve dinner.

The food and service at Deep Lagoon was wonderful as always. However, Thursday nights there is a live band or DJ outside at CJ‘s next door, which contributes greatly to a loud noise level. So avoid this night if possible. We did request to be seated in the back further away from the band and that did help somewhat.

Consistently fabulous food and great service! Jason and rest of staff were very attentive refilling waters, checking on us and bringing extra sauce when needed —all despite very large private gathering in another dining room! We never felt rushed, it was easy to chat despite full lunch crowd spread throughout rooms- Comfortable seating, good food presentations & reasonable prices- Love taking friends and family here, NEVER disappoints!

Great appetizers and main entrees. Had the charcuterie, roasted artichokes and a caprese salad. All excellent for the 5 of us. Entrees included Gnocchi, clams and pasta, carbonara, and penne puttanesca. Couple bottles of Silverado Chardonnay. Excellent food and excellent service. Have been there 4x and on Isle of Capri at least a dozen times. Never disappoints.
