8 Best Italian Restaurants near Desert Hot Springs

“Small hometown atmosphere very friendly. Only wish they were open earlier we would love to have lunch there it's very friendly, the staff and owners, who run it themselves, are always welcoming and the food is always good, I especially like to get a pineapple, jalapeno and Canadian bacon with extra cheese, my husband prefers plain pepperoni which is consistently good.“

“The food was very good, especially the seafood pasta and chicken piccata, as well as the breakfasts. One sour note was that a server tricked us into giving him a big tip - he'd already added 20% to the tab and didn't tell us. Be sure to ask for an itemized receipt!“

“This beautiful restaurant was nothing but amazing in every way! We ordered the calamari as an appetizer, absolutely delicious. The spicy marinara sauce was such a great match. We shared a Caesar salad and the dressing was one of the best I've had. Our waiter was so friendly and helpful. I asked for a recommendation and it did not disappoint! We also ordered the homemade lasagna.....excellent. We will definitely return! Thank you for a great dining experience.“

“The service was great. Our waiter was very helpful and fun. They all went out of their way for us to have a great experience. The food was a bit on the bland side- not bad, it was good but nothing to write home about. A tad expensive for the bland taste and small portion sizes. The restaurant is not large, so it did not feel overcrowded even when the dinner rush picked up“

“This place is the bomb. I love their sandwiches but you better get there early for a good selection. There ready to heat and serve is incredible and they have a great, kinda pricey, selection of pastas and sauces.Dietary restrictions: You can order custom items but you should do so ahead of time or they might not be able to accommodate.“

“Delicious food. Excellent service. We had dinner on street fair night. We have been here before and were anticipating the great food. Our server recommended a delicious Sauvignon blanc. We shared the caprese, then shared carbonara and a pizza. They did not disappoint!! Our table was outside so we could watch the world walk by. Thanks!!“

“Everyone was so nice and accommodating. Will be my new dinner date night spot. They have more then pasta but that doesn't take away from the quality. Worth the time the drive and every cent spent. I even met the owner and she was a gem. She really cares about the customers and doesn't hide from them. She helps her staff when it's busy. If I could give more stars I would but alas all I can give is 5Parking: No issue cause there's plenty of placesKid-friendliness: I'm sitting next to a bunch of kids right now as I type this while waiting for the bill and my to go desert.Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy to park and get out and no obstacles to the table or bathroom“

“We ate here during the Thursday night market. The service was amazing, and the food was the best Italian food I've had in a long time. I ordered the Caprese and I'm not a big fan of tomato but it was very good. For desert we ordered the Cannoli and Chocolate Moose Cake. They were both 10/10.“
