- Food is often said to appeal to every sense except hearing, but Mario couldn’t let the diners in his restaurants be cheated out of a full sensory experience. Sometimes controversial with the critics, but widely embraced by the public, the music that Mario plays at his home and on his headphones is the same music that can be heard throughout his restaurant empire.
- "It should be love and joy and
- music and art and dance and being together
- that drive us to cook, to eat, and to share."
