Backstreet Bistro, located off Hwy 111 in Palm Desert, is a hidden gem offering delicious meals. The Prix frixe 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. While they will be closing for the summer, they plan to reopen in the fall. The Palm Springs Restaurant Week menu offers good choices for all, although service may be a bit slow during busy times. Recent visitors have praised the food, generous portions, and friendly staff, noting that even minor issues are handled with kindness and care.
