Reviews for Mario's Italian Cafe in Palm Springs, CA
4 of us went for dinner. Our whole meal was served lukewarm and we sent half of the food back. The bill was over $100 for the 4... of us. We make better food at home. Read more
Sorry for the 2-star rating. Everytime we come in town this is our first stop. I had the lunch meatloaf special and it was not... good. Meatloaf was cold and hard/leathery. Garlic bread was dry. I hope this was a one time thing and will give them anotherchance. Service was great! Read more
I really enjoy the food and service, but I was there yesterday and was disappointed because it was too warm in the dining room... to enjoy dinner. When we ordered, I told the server it was hot, but it remained uncomfortably warm throughout the meal. Iordered a glass of Chianti, and when it was served, the stem of the glass was cold but the wine was so hot that the bowl of theglass was warm. There are lots of places to eat in our area, and even though the food and service are good, there?s no reason tosit in such an uncomfortably hot environment. Read more
They have the GOOD ranch. You can buy a pint of ranch to go. Just saying. Also- bomb pizza, wings, Alfredo, lasagna. Get extra... marinara & Alfredo sauce. Full size Salads are huge. We always have leftovers. Air fryer pizza and wings next day, delish. Read more
Went in and everyone was nice and was seated right away. We sat there for about 7 minutes after we looked at the menu for 5... minutes. The person that sat us had to tell the waiter that was just standing there that we were ready to order. We ordered atorpedo sandwich, which by the way shows on the menu it comes cold and when the waiter brought it he said "you didn't tell me ifyou wanted it hot or cold so I toasted it." It was soggy and I wasn't going to complain and send it back. My dad ordered thesoup and salad and spaghetti, the spaghetti was very bland and the waiter originally forgot to bring it out. When it was time topay the waiter just gave us a price and didn't give us a itemized receipt. I thought it was a little high so I calculated it andwe were being charged $6 too much. He finally brought me the itemized recipe and they were charging $15.99 instead of $9.99. Itold him they overcharged us and he said the prices went up, and then he shrugged his shoulders. He then said he would text themanager. We paid it but didn't leave him a tip. Will definitely not be coming back. Read more
I am Italian and the pizza I ordered I was not excited about..I expected thicker crust..the crust was hard and dry ...the... ingredients didn't go to the edge they were piled in the center so all the toppings roll off when you get a piece and there'slittle to none pizza sauce..I asked for garlic butter on the crust after it's cooked ...they didn't do it...I probably won'torder again I'm sorry mario Read more
Italo-American food The food at this popular restaurant is good, the prices are reasonable and the service is friendly. My... husband and I shared a garlic bread, individual house salad & large pasta for dinner. We were told not to order a bottle ofwine, as each glass contained half a bottle of wine (& was cheaper). This is reputed to be the Valley's biggest pour - note thatthe glass is filled to the brim! Read more
We were not served our food until about 45 minutes AFTER ordering. Other parties that arrived later than us were served their... food before us. The waitress was distracted; if I didn't ask her for the garlic bread I'm sure it would have never showed up onour table. The food was not what I expected at all. Bland and disappointing. Never again. Read more
