I love coming here. As a local, I go to all of the valley wide locations but I love the Indio location the most! The calamari and veal piccata was to die for. I already plan to go again very soon!

Stopped by for pizza and it was delicious. They have a lot of options and I’m looking forward to our next visit so I can try different items from their menu. A must try!

Mario’s is the best! Great food, specials and that tall glass of wine! He also gives back a lot to the community. Try the pizza and salad lunch specials. So good!

This was our first time ordering from Mario’s Italian Cafe in Indio. I have to admit that it was an underwhelming experience for my husband and I (however, our children liked it). We ordered two pizzas: the Vegetarian Special and the Margarita. I have to say that the most disappointing part to me was that there was a significant inconsistency between the two pizzas. The vegetarian was wonderfully well-dressed with toppings. The margarita, on the other hand, had large portions of uncovered crust spots with no cheese. The crusts were dense, on the dry side and had a lot of loose flour on the bottom, which coated the bottom lip. Our son and I liked the vegetarian the best of the two (but definitely not better than pizzas from other establishments), my husband didn’t like either, and our daughters liked the margarita. I didn’t think to take photos until after some slices had been taken, but think they still illustrate part of my description.

So I totally love the food, so did my son, and he’s a pick eater. We both over ate..burrp.

Little Caesars pizza is better than this and a fourth of the cost.

I love this place! I also love the $5 glass of wine where I can sit and just relax for an hour, and the staff members are wonderful.

Been here a couple of times so I guess that says it better than a lot of fluff. Our friends even suggested it, so yeah, it’s worth going to. Friendly staff, portion sizes that are not stupid, and not so loud that you can’t have a conversation around the table. Yep, we’ll be back.

We had reservations so we were seated very quickly. But the service was horrible we had to wave down our server a few times. It took what seemed forever to get our food. Their server apologized she mentioned they were short handed that evening. After waiting so long the food wasn’t so great.

We celebrated our 60th anniversary at Mario’s while visiting the Palm Desert region. The service and dinner was well beyond our expectations. Thank You Mario’s for making our day wonderful.
