“Small but good! I like Italian food and when I try somewhere new I get the lasagna. Usually a good gauge for the rest of the food. It was great! Kind staff. Josh Groban was on repeat so maybe hit the shuffle button once in a while 😂“

“The one in Palm Desert is good. Nice restaurants and area. Delicious food.“

“Mario’s was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The food was authentic, fresh, and full of incredible flavor — easily some of the best Italian food I’ve had in a long time. Every dish came out perfectly and you can tell they truly care about quality. I had the Cioppino and I definitely recommend getting it!

What made our experience even better was the staff and especially our waitress, Marty. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed the entire time. Her great personality and outstanding service made our meal even more enjoyable. Kayla was also awesome.

If you’re looking for delicious Italian food and excellent service, Mario’s is definitely the place to go. We will absolutely be coming back!“

“We originally came because of finding you on the Upside app. Little did we know……Wow! Such an amazing meal and awesome service! Arturo was our server and was on top of his game. The Lasagna “Bolognase” was out of this world. Very rich and flavorful. The homemade sausage….out of this world! My wife had The penne with red and white sauce. Again….delicious! We will be back!“

“Very good food a wonderful experience !“

“It was our first time eating at the La Quinta location. I'm not sure if it's because they're still getting adjusted, but the food was just ok. Nothing that stands out. However, the service was great. Our servers, Jessica and Julian, were amazing. Super accommodating and friendly.“

“Pasta is a family favorite so we decided to go here for lunch. The food was delicious, maybe not the best Italian food we've ever had, but still quite good. Our server was excellent and attentive. The decor of the restaurant is very opulent, but not in a snobby way. The kids loved looking around and we even got seated in the trolley.“

“I am so mad I did not get the waitress and managers name but I love this Olive Garden everybody was so nice we got our food so fast it was delicious and very well priced at the very end we asked for extra chocolates and the manager had no problem getting it for us same with the waitress love this Olive Garden wish I had one just like this next to my house“

Great spot to unwind with a well-curated selection of Italian wines, solid coffee, and thoughtfully made drinks. You can tell there’s intention behind everything—not just another quick stop, but a place that actually cares about quality.“

“The service here is superb. All the staff are on point. I had the golden artichokes, and they were amazing. I had Kiki’s salad, which was perfectly dressed. The snap pea pizza was also very nice. I look forward to tasting more for my next visit. My server was Audrey and she was top notch! So lovely.“

“Love this place! It’s our “go to”.“

“We walked into Mario's on Jefferson St in La Quinta. We had the BEST service. Our server's name was Vanessa. She was wonderful. We like her (and the food ) so much we went back the next day. When we walked in, she didn't ask, she simply gave me my water with lemon, and my husband his wine. She was so wonderful I wanted to take her home. I told her when we got back to Ohio I would give her a great review. Live kind of happens, and I am sorry I took this long to review you. I hope to be back. I was born and grew up in Southern California, and spent so much time as a child in Palm Springs. I think my husband took pity on how homesick I was, and we went everywhere. If I wasn't vegan, I would have ordered their delicious pizza!!! I will be back Vanessa. You are wonderful“

“We love YOUR PIE! Amazing Pizza, a good selection of beer and even great salads! Everything is always fresh and the staff are always friendly. They have catering as well. 🙌😍 My kids are always asking to go to Your Pie!“

“Outstanding foods, so authentic. We’ve seen many postings in social media which do it little justice. We’re so glad we visited and came home with a big haul. Also, our neighbor brought is dinner the other day and we were instantly hooked!“

“Small location in la quinta and good pizza - what really got me was charging extra to make the pizza a true chicago deep dish pizza by an extra 2$? isn’t the standard supposed to be chicago deep dish already? you set the menu and prices why is extra. pizza was good but i didn’t pay extra so i got the flat crust“

“good service friendly people pizza was excellent“

“The food was excellent! I rarely can find squash blossoms and when I saw them on the menu I knew I had to order. These are often seasonal and very hard to find. They were incredible. Piping hot, crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle. They are served with Marinara. I prefer honey drizzle or agave so I added my own. My mouth was singing their praises. I’m looking forward to trying so many tasty bites I saw on the menu. Two thumbs up for me.“

“My boyfriend (a competitive pool player) and I are in town visiting and needed a place to practice. This place has 3 nice pool tables and everyone is super nice. We talked to the owner for a bit and he is such a nice, down to earth guy. Some of these reviews state otherwise but from my experience those people just need something to complain about. Great atmosphere and people. Will be coming here everytime we visit.“

“Beautiful restaurant nice ambiance“
