    Emiliano was exceptional, as well was the food, drinks, and ambience. Malio's a Tampa staple - never disappoints!

    If you are looking for a high end steak dinner Malio's is the place to go. It's in downtown Tampa in a very interesting architectural building. The service was very good although our server needed to be more knowledgable of the bottled wine list. The food was very good and arrived in a good time sequence. Overall a very good dining experience.

    We have been to Malio's a number of times and enjoy the restaurant. As usual, the food was very good. Our server was not the high point of the lunch. He did try but failed on a couple of points. My wife ordered a salad with pieces of steak. The steak was slightly charred on the outside and completely raw on the inside. I ordered a fresh catch sandwich but received a filet on a plate. I expect more from your servers. We will be back for another go.

    I came to Malio’s to meet up with an old friend from high school. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Definitely will be back again.

    I considered it rather loud for a higher end restaurant. The parking was a little tricky to figure out but the food and service made up for it. The waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu and wine list. I had the New York strip and my wife had the tuna. Both were great. The Mac and cheese was also good as a side. The sides a large enough to share with someone… we had the scallops for an app and had never eaten scallops before and they were great.

    It took 2 1/2 hours to have dinner- we waited a long time for our entrees. And I think if you’re at a steak house they should be able to cook a rare steak. My filet was medium and while tasty, for that price you should get the steak exactly the way you ordered it. The bartender was great- we had nice cocktails before dinner. I would not recommend this restaurant.

    Everything was great. But I was surprised how the hostess were dressed compared to the other staff. On had on shorts. When you come to an establishment as this the expectations are higher for everything.

    First time going there. Will most likely be the last. Atmosphere was nice. Service and food left a lot to be desired. Not a crowded night. 20 min to take our order. Staff left our finished appetizer on the table for over an hour. Took an hour and 45+min for our overcooked steaks to arrive. Manager on call was condescending.

    We had a wonderful dinner for my husband’s birthday! Service was excellent. The hotel across the street was playing loud music that we could hear from the patio but otherwise everything else was perfect!!
