Mario's Italian Cafe is a go-to spot in Coachella Valley, known for its tasty pasta, warm breadsticks, and fresh salads. The fettuccine alfredo is a standout dish, alongside the chicken piccata and calamari, with portions that are very generous, often leading guests to take some home for a late-night snack. The lunch antipasto remains a popular choice, though some find the mortadella a bit overwhelming. Guests enjoy classic dishes like lasagna and chicken parm, paired with affordable $5 wines that are poured generously. While the restaurant may not be fancy, its family-friendly atmosphere, good prices, and quality service make it a top pick. Many visitors appreciate the welcoming feel, making Mario's a reliable choice for a satisfying Italian meal, whether you're a local or just passing through.
