Mario's Italian Cafe - Palm Desert

The service was excellent and the Cesar salad was great especially the dressing. The pizza was a little disappointing, the crust was done to perfection but all the cheeses and fresh vegetables needed more time to cook. Not sure how to address this problem.

Nice little piece of Italy without the long flight. The food was good, but... there's always one. I asked for onions on the side and had to bring back the antipasto because he had them everywhere... and then my pizza had them as an additional topping?. A Hawaiian pizza with onions????

Very nice place with a great atmosphere. They serve the typical red sauce Italian cuisine pasta, pizza, sandwiches, salads. Nice dining room. Great staff. Delicious food. Great ambience. Many parking spaces. Simply in and outside the parking lot. Highway next door.

Very nice restaurant with Viennese atmosphere. The staff is very efficient and friendly. As soon as I went through the door, I sat right away, gave a menu and my drink order was taken. I had the antipasta salad loaded with the antipasta stuff. There are Italian dressing tops off and it is very zesty. I had spaghetti with Italian sausage. They offer two sizes large and small. I went for the big figure and I could take at least half of it home. The noodles were cooked for perfection, the Italian sausage was a bit over cooked, but still very good. One thing I'd be critical is her Marinara sauce. It is very flat and can be a little watery. It could really use some sharp with garlic, Italian spices and etc. If I'm back in the area, I would definitely visit this place again

I had such a hurry to eat for lunch. I ordered one of the lunch specialties that was two slices of fresh piping hot pepperoni pizza and a delicious side salad. They went beyond and beyond to speed up my order and pack it with care and class to go for me because I have limited amount of time to eat. So appreciate the hard work that goes behind the scenes. Great customer service. Can't wait to eat more.
