I became a customer of Mario's in the early 2000's and I have dined at multiple locations over the years. This is only my second less than satisfactory experience. Before we were even completly seated our server asked if we were ready to order. I assumed he meant any drinks so I ordered a glass of wine for myself and my wife. The wine arrived quickly as we were starting to look at the menu the server said he would give us a few minutes. After about at least 10 minutes we noticed the server taking orders from two other tables that were seated after us. We finally asked the host to remind the server to take our order. We ordered a small house salad to share. We have ordered the same salad multiple times. Our ordered turned out to be either an individual salad or Mario's has significantly down sized it. I have ordered Bolognese sauce at least a dozen times and the.sauce that was served taste wise did not accurately resemble what I have previously experienced. My wife's meal was very satisfactory and as usual the most generous glass of house wine in the valley.

Mario's Cafe serves amazing Italian food! I recently visited with my friend from NY, who is always bragging about the insanely great Italian food she has in her city. She could not believe that there was an authentic Italian food restaurant in the Coachella Valley. Truly the BEST Italian food in the West!

Good family-friendly Italian restaurant. Generous portions at reasonable prices. Wine is poured to the top of an 8 ounce glass at $5 for house wine, more for vintages.

My wife and I with our 11 month old baby just moved to the desert a couple months ago. My wife found this place and I was not disappointed. That real family feel type of restaurant. They were very welcoming to my family and the food was amazing. We've been numerous times now. I highly recommend!!
This is a great local restaurant with really good food at reasonable prices. They have lunch specials and a happy hour. Need to try the $5.00 glass of wine.
Vegetarian options: Has at least one vegan option.
