“Fabulous X 3. The food, the music and the atmosphere! I was concerned that the music would be too loud but that was not the case. As a foursome, we could still talk amongst ourselves. I was amazed at the energy level of the staff. They work as fast as is humanly possible! Good job guys! And the music was the best we’ve heard in a long time! What a great discovery in our own neighborhood!“

“Elio and Luba are beyond wonderful. The intimacy of the restaurant is wonderful. The food on the menu or on the specials list was delicious. 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. 🥂🥂“

The food is delicious and service wonderful! The environment encourages us to slow down and enjoy each bite. No rush, start with your drink, enjoy your company, and then indulge in a delicious meal. Thank you La Spiga and all the staff for an enjoyable evening.

I highly recommend you to try the Lavender Martini and the Polpette Meatball appetizer. Of course anything you have will be wonderful!“

It was a birthday dinner and the birthday guest received a nice comp desert. Only complaint was that the sauce was left off/removed from the left over portion we took home.“

“Great place for an early dinner- nice happy hour menu with the largest glass of wine I've ever seen at a restaurant!

Food is always good, and service is good with friendly servers- Kim is world class!

Food is excellent, large diverse menu, promptly served courses, and the costs are very reasonable in today's world.

We can usually have two happy hours drinks, salads, and dinner off of the happy hour menu- or the main menu (or a mix) for under $55.00“

“Amazing cafe in the heart of the desert. I have traveled all over the country and Europe for work & I can stay in the desert & America, this is a pure gem! You can’t even find this feeling in nyc Everyone is friendly and nice. An amazing place to come to people watch with an Italian spritz or glass of wine fantastic selection if you know your wine as well as a morning cup of coffee which is pure crack as all of us locals say great panini‘s and sandwiches with a home cooked feel when you need some happiness in your stomach. I need to detox before going get back on a sottovoce fix . Mindy & The owner Natalie are very kind & are always accommodating & welcoming if you can’t make it to Palm Desert stop to visit them in Palm Springs which I hear is fabulous!

“A fun place for breakfast. Nora was the best. Sadly, we will miss her and the restaurant.“

“Beautiful restaurant nice ambiance“

“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!“

“The large portion of chicken parmigiana was outstanding as was the asparagus. We shared these and there was certainly enough. Noise level was to be expected but didn't affect our dinner with friends. Our server KEN K was excellent. Dr. C. 😊“

“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.“

“Went here for the first time yesterday. Ordered the pizza and wings. The best pizza I had ever had. Truly delicious! The pizza came out pipping hot and fresh as well as the wings. The sauce is authentic using quality ingredients. The lady working the front at the register was super sweet and went through many of the item menus. I met Dominic and another gentleman that worked there. Outstanding customer service often checking how my other half and I were doing and if we needed anything else. I highly recommend this restaurant if you appreciate great customer service and high quality ingredients. We will definitely be going back. Thank you for a wonderful experience.“

“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!“

“Best pizza I have ever had! Fun atmosphere! I learned three country line dances. Big john the DJ for country night was awesome!“

“good service friendly people pizza was excellent“

“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.“
