" I can't rave enough about Mario’s! It’s about time I shared my thoughts. From their expertly crafted bruschetta with fresh basil to their hearty lasagna, every bite was comforting and packed with flavor. The servers were so attentive, always ensuring we had everything we needed. I’ve been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. A must-visit in Palm Springs! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise to find this Italian gem in Palm Springs! The meatball sub was loaded and the marinara was perfectly seasoned. I did notice the space was a bit cramped during peak hours, but that just adds to the charm and family feel. Will definitely come back for the Cannoli! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for authentic Italian flavors, Mario’s is the place to go! Their pasta is made in-house, and you can taste the difference. The service is always excellent—our server was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We enjoyed the lasagna and the house salad, both of which were generous portions. This place is definitely worth returning to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mario's last week and had high expectations, but unfortunately, the food was a letdown. The service was friendly, and the staff was attentive, but my fettuccine had that artificial taste to it, disappointing for someone who craves authenticity in Italian food. The portions were large, though, which is a saving grace. I might give it another shot in the future; perhaps it was just a bad day in the kitchen. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about Mario's this time around. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance, and the service was prompt, but I was disappointed with my meal. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, and while it was decent, it lacked the authentic creamy richness I expected. It almost tasted like something out of a box. However, my friend’s seafood pasta looked amazing, and she raved about it. I think I’ll give it another shot, perhaps on a busier night when they might showcase their best offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mario’s for a family gathering, and while the atmosphere was perfect for such an occasion, my dish was a bit lackluster. I was expecting bold flavors but ended up with a bland marinara sauce. The service was commendable, and they were quick to refill drinks and check in on us. Overall, I might give it another try, preferably sticking to their pizza next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family enjoyed a lovely meal here. Mario's was bustling with locals, indicating good food and service. I was pleasantly surprised by their portion sizes, which left everyone satisfied. The chicken parmesan was juicy, though a bit greasy. I think my favorite part was the ambiance; it's cozy yet lively. Overall, a lovely dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
