Mario's Italian Cafe V

I know there are lots of Marios in Palm Desert, but this is my favorite. They have great lunch specials. Their marinara sauce has a great flavor, and I love the Italian sausage. The restaurant is clean and service was excellent. They have both tables and booths.

First visit into this chain restaurant. We went in before a concert at the arena down the street! Food was tasty and super hot. Service was very helpful. Food came out quickly so we made it to the concert on time. We will return as there were other bites we wanted to try. Great prices for Italian food. Thank you.

We had lunch special (sausage parmigiana and spaghetti meat sauce) each, then took home a large pizza. Generous amount for the price (less than $10 for lunch) and food is okay! I liked the atmosphere. The staff are very nice, and the restaurant is super clean. Large pizza (Mario’s special) is only $24.

Had to try the local pizza shop, delicious pizza that we devoured!!! Definitely have to come back and try some of the tempting entrees we saw come out of the kitchen. Our pizza had pepperoni and sausage on it. We got the large 12 cut and ate all but 2 slices.

I ordered the fettuccine carbonara, and it was one of the better ones i've ever had. It was missing a little something.But overall, very good, I'd rate food 4.5/5. The service was absolutely amazing.I would rate service 5/5. And the atmosphere itselfThe restaurant is a smaller place, but it's very cozy And has nice relaxing music. I'd rate atmosphere 5/5. Overall, I'll tell you my experience was great. I would highly recommend coming to this restaurant.
