Backstreet Bistro, located off Hwy 111 in Palm Desert, is a hidden gem offering delicious meals. The Prix fixe menu includes amazing options like lasagna, ravioli, and chicken parmigiana with generous portions. The service is attentive and friendly, with a fresh bowl of parmigiana reggiano and bread upon arrival. The restaurant is known for its warm bread with olive oil and balsamic, and butter is available on request. Customers often enjoy the crispy calamari with great marinara sauce.
The ambiance is quiet and inviting, featuring carpet on the floor and linen on the tables, providing a relaxing atmosphere. Recent visitors have praised the food, generous portions, and friendly staff, noting that even minor issues are handled with kindness and care. The owner, Waldo, personally checks on every table, ensuring exceptional hospitality. The service is great, with attentive servers who make sure all needs are taken care of. The wine selection pairs well with the delicious meal choices, including new menu items. Backstreet Bistro offers an incredible dining experience, from the lovely presentation to the quiet, relaxing atmosphere.
