Burnt crust on pizza. Blah waitress...time before that waiter did his best to explain what a pizza is...unfortunately that wasn't the question that we asked.
Will try again as Mario is a HERO in our eyes and supports the Veterans.
Aside from all that, the guy who works behind the front counter is AWESOME. SMART AND
HELPFUL. He located a very special cap that we'd left behind.
He is very pleasant and helpful.

Cozy family restaurant feel with delicious $5 chianti and the best lasagna! Boglenese & an added meatball was terrific too!

We went for lunch, and they have some great lunch specials. I had two pieces of pizza and salad for $10. My wife had spaghetti and garlic bread for $10. Lots of other lunch and dinner specials. The food wasn't fantastic but it was good. The restaurant was very clean and service was excellent. They have indoor seating, booths, and an outside patio.

We ordered takeout so I can only assume it’d taste 10x better if it were straight from the oven to our table. I enjoyed the flavor of the Mario’s specialty pizza, 10/10 and the service was friendly and quick. I also found it to be reasonably cheaper than other pizza spots in the area $24.99 for a Large. So overall would come here again as the flavors were great, service exceptional, and great price.

This restaurant is dependable for great take out and is conveniently located where I grocery shop, get gas and pick up pet food and gifts at Home Goods. The portions are very generous and the food is delicious! The take out is always superb and we love to order from Mario's for big family gatherings. We recently had a casual office lunch at Mario's to celebrate the holidays, which was my first time to eat there. My husband and I and his Office Manager ordered a shared pizza and the other staff ordered different items off the menu. Their food arrived but we were told that our gluten free crust pizza was accidentally made with regular crust, so a new pizza had to be made. Our office staff had long finished their meals before we got to even start ours, which put a kink in the meal because everyone was able to go home early directly from lunch. No discount to our bill, but then we didn't ask. It was a bummer so I knocked off one star for that, but otherwise the food is excellent.

Otdered 5 large pizza. Toppings fine and good but crusts marginal at best. Service staff were pleasant, patient and helpful.

This is by far the best Italian restaurant in Palm Springs neighborhood. Huge meatball and garlic melted garlic bread, chicken Parmesan had a lot of cheese melted on the chicken. Very friendly people, Peter and Samuel gave us outstanding service, they have been there for 24 years

FYI: My husband and I have eaten in Bermuda Dunes location many times. Great food. Great service. Yesterday I wanted a pizza for takeout. Learned that the online posted menu, costs and ordering system is many years old. Have to call location to place order and get current prices. Pizza was delicious but figuring out the process a bit of a pain!

Been going here for 15 plus years and they’ve always had good service but this time around not very good. Sorry but going out for food is already expensive as it is and then having to pay for gratuity on top of that for mediocre service rather eat at home or else where.
