Luba and Elio perform as if they are making dinner just for you!!! Will go back many times after this first experience dining with them last night. This will become our go to Italian restaurant in the Desert. Thank you, Luba & Elio. 🥂🥂“

“Went for my mom’s Birthday on the 8th. Super nice staff, I reserved a seat for inside but they tried to move us outside on the patio. I would’ve, if it weren’t so hot. They let us sit inside the bar which was nice. The manager (I assume) was super nice and the hostess was very welcoming.

Also whoever the bartender who was working on the 8th at 7ish is a super cool dude. Food was out very fast and delicious.“

“Very good food a wonderful experience !“

“We originally came because of finding you on the Upside app. Little did we know……Wow! Such an amazing meal and awesome service! Arturo was our server and was on top of his game. The Lasagna “Bolognase” was out of this world. Very rich and flavorful. The homemade sausage….out of this world! My wife had The penne with red and white sauce. Again….delicious! We will be back!“

“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.“

“I had the chicken marsala and my friend had lasagna. Also the bread was so warm and dense on the inside but had a good crust on the outside and our server Ali didn't flinch when we asked for more butter!! Really enjoyed our dinner there.“

“Delicious! We are three meals in since last night’s arrival at the resort. Tonight we ate outside on the patio, just an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff is attentive and very friendly. Ricardo was our server last night, he’s fantastic!“

“Love the lunch specials at Slice. One of the best deals in town. Yummy Pizza!“

“What a friendly place and staff. Great food!“

“Another consistent wonderful experience at this fine dining restaurant. Our attentive server Chris was incredible and anticipated our wants and needs before we could even ask. \nHe was also charming and had a great smile. \nOur four dinners were all perfect. The veal chop was thick, tender and delicious and Chris had suggested medium, another excellent suggestion. \nThe fish special was Swordfish and the delicious sauce couldn't be found after the small slices of crusty bread wiped up any remains. Third dinner was the pappardelle pasta with sausage and veal ragu. Nothing left on that plate either. \nBeing Vegan, I ordered the angel hair pasta with marinara sauce with a side order of roasted small vegetables I added to my pasta. \nWhen ordering this type of pasta I find there seems to be almost a pound meaning at least half goes home. \nHaving a birthday here is another gift in itself. \nThey serve Tiramisu that comes with a candle and is a large serving so that all 4 of us had 2 bites each. However there was a need for their Creme Brulee which also was devoured with 4 spoons.\nOnly con was the noise level which made it difficult to hear each other across the table. The restaurant was fully packed for a Monday night which only speaks of their excellent reputation. \nThis is where we come for a wonderful meal when in the Palm Desert/Ranch Mirage area on vacation.“

“Waldo’s is awesome!!! A group of 12 went to Waldo’s last night and had an amazing time. Every dish we ate was fabulous. Our server Barbara was amazing and so attentive. Our new favorite restaurant.“

“We were a group of six for dinner. There were no wait times, and the food was excellent. But the real highlight was our server, Russ. He was incredibly friendly and helpful, and it was clear that he truly loves his job. Thank you for the wonderful experience – the Germans.“

“This is a great Italian family restaurant. The food is very good and plentiful. If you like, you can purchase a glass of wine for $5. It's their house wine, and the glass is huge. Great family atmosphere, most of these restaurant have indoor and outside seating.“

“So cool to have an authentic coffee place in our desert!! It feels like coffee shop straight out of Italy! Workers are so nice! Great customer service! The food is delicious! I recommend any of the paninis! And the coffee is great! Definitely worth a stop when near by and in need of coffee!!“

“We had a great dinner at Kiki's on our first visit. The staff were wonderful and the mood was casual and friendly. We had in our party of 4 several items. One couple shared the artichokes which was delicious and the other the Caesar salad. Then the chicken parm which was excellent and the cacciatore which my friend enjoyed and the Caccio Pepe which my husband said was good and had a kick to it which he enjoyed. The only thing was we had quite a wait for our entrees. However we will definitely return here.“

“Beautiful restaurant nice ambiance“

“We love YOUR PIE! Amazing Pizza, a good selection of beer and even great salads! Everything is always fresh and the staff are always friendly. They have catering as well. 🙌😍 My kids are always asking to go to Your Pie!“

“good service friendly people pizza was excellent“

“The food was excellent! I rarely can find squash blossoms and when I saw them on the menu I knew I had to order. These are often seasonal and very hard to find. They were incredible. Piping hot, crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle. They are served with Marinara. I prefer honey drizzle or agave so I added my own. My mouth was singing their praises. I’m looking forward to trying so many tasty bites I saw on the menu. Two thumbs up for me.“

“Outstanding foods, so authentic. We’ve seen many postings in social media which do it little justice. We’re so glad we visited and came home with a big haul. Also, our neighbor brought is dinner the other day and we were instantly hooked!“

“Born and raised in Chicago, we had Rosati’s at family gatherings on the regular. I left in 2001, and definitely miss the pub style pizza I grew up with.

We rented a house in Indio for a long weekend, and when I saw there was a Rosati’s 15 minutes away I almost lost my mind!

We got a pizza Friday and beef sandwiches Saturday and I was SO HAPPY!

The food is spot on and the staff is so friendly. I felt like I was back home“

“My boyfriend (a competitive pool player) and I are in town visiting and needed a place to practice. This place has 3 nice pool tables and everyone is super nice. We talked to the owner for a bit and he is such a nice, down to earth guy. Some of these reviews state otherwise but from my experience those people just need something to complain about. Great atmosphere and people. Will be coming here everytime we visit.“
