Food was really bad lots of pasta covered In marina source and almost no veal. Garlic bread buttery.

Love this restrarant. Fast friendly service. Always nice. The calamari, to start is a great. Moved onto the antipasto salad. Amazing with the garlic cheese bread and lasagna. Fantastic meal. We'll be in every time we're in Palm Springs!

Definitely do not recommend. Food was not that great. We were helped by a blonde waitress with glasses. She has extremely poor customer service. Gave us very few napkins and when asked for any other items she would almost toss them on table. Very poor demeanor. Definitely not coming back here again! Take your business elsewhere!

Mario’s has never disappointed when we ordered their meatball sandwiches! However we ordered for takeout tonight and was the worst we have ever had! The roll was soggy not the normal crispy garlic crunch. Hardly any sauce or cheese. Totally awful….
Not eatable.

Terrible service, waiter was rude pretty much threw things at me or slammed them on the table.
Had to ask for pretty much everything that should be just given to customers (napkins, straws, utensils). Never came and check on us. Food is not great either, portion and plateing were nice but that was it. When we walked out she looked over to table looking for a tip didn't even say goodbye or goodnight. Would never go back again.

First off I never write reviews but this has just got to be said…
I come to Mario’s EVERY time in town!
I love coming into La Quinta getting my groceries and stopping by Mario’s for a big glass of wine and a delicious house said with bread sticks.
My husband and I always request the same server …Justina? I adore her! She remembers us every time, she knows what I like to drink. (Kendall Jackson) and she’s quick and always offers desert to go. And honeyyy let me just say, not enough servers do this. I will take dessert 10/10 times. Mario’s please never change and thank you for staying open all year round.

Our server was very sweet. Wine pours were huge as were the portions of food. We could have easily shared two entrees amongst the four of us. Food was ok. Not the best Italian food I've ever had but not the worst.

Not the atmosphere the Coachella spot had but food was comparable. Service was good but Coachella had more personality in their servers.

So I just purchased two vegetarian torpedoes and Mario's has never let me down before, but $28.47 for some lettuce, and uncooked mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, shredded Monterey jack cheese for two cold 10 inch sub, does not equate to 12.99 per sub, plus tax. The description mentions the inclusion of Mozarella, there wasnt a single slice or crumb of mozarella cheese in my sandwich. Also, the presentation of both subs I ordered seemed like the chief who put my order together had no interest or integrity in the way my food turned out. Careless much? I'll be purchasing my own as well as my family's Italian food from elsewhere. Mario's may have 6 locations, but their inability to have consistent quality from one of their locations to the next is going to ultimately hurt them and very much so. This is from sheer business experience and not my doctoral degree in business as well as international business.

First time at marios, had chicken marsala.very good! Mary rated shrimp fettuccine very good. Small portion. Right size.

Convenient for a “basic” Italian meal. Pepperoni-mushroom pizza good. Anything with red sauce just tastes like tomato sauce from a can unfortunately. My mother likes the place a lot. Different palates.

Found the perfect Brooklyn NY family-style Italian comfort food in the Coachella Valley.

5 Stars for the Baked Mostaccioli, Steak Pizzaiola and our server, Lilly - will repeat when we return to the area!

A family run business that is very welcoming with employees that treat you like family as well. Good prices. Quality food served to your liking. Not fancy just good food and quality service. Try them out.

Was disappointed today when my spaghetti and meat ball was burned all around. Quick service staff friendly but the food quality was not pleasant.

Excellent food and great service for a very reasonable price. Went for lunch and got a Sausage Parmigiana with garlic bread and a drink for about $12 + tax/tip. You can go to fast food joints and spend more than that! If you live in the Coachella Valley you probably know Mario's since they have 7 locations but if you're visiting, come check it out. Quality, old school Italian-American grub.
