Diane greeted us and when I gave her the name on the reservation she immediately acknowledged my reservation. She told us the table number we asked for and that the server we requested was out on maternity leave. Nice seated Nara came out and took great care of us. Told us about the new items on the menu. No pressure to order quickly. We had brought a bottle of wine and he told us the corking fee was. No rush to order. The owner Waldo stopped by to check on us and he visited every table. The meal was fantastic, chicken piccata, veal scampi and d lobster ravioli was delicious. They acknowledged our 40th wedding anniversary. Incredible hospitality, service and food.

The service was great and the food was tasty. Our server was very attentive and made sure our needs were taken care of. Nice wine selection that paired well with our meal choices.
Chris
My first time here and it was absolutely delicious. Presentation was lovely and because we had an early dinner, it was very quiet and our server was very attentive. If I lived in the area, I would definitely be a regular!
Ronny
A very nice restaurant, large patio for great outdoor dining. Classic Italian food. Very friendly staff. Will visit again.
Leslie
This was the first day they were open after their summer break and they didn't miss a beat. Fabulous food, great service, just an overall wonderful experience. Go there!
Laurie
There was five of us, but one dish that was served had no flavor. All the others were good.
Susie
Love this place. We come very often and always enjoy our food, wine and service. We were 4, and all had different entrees. They all were delicious. The calamari is crispy and marinara sauce great. I love that they provide delicious warm bread with olive oil and balsamic and if you prefer butter on the side.

We visit each time we come to Palm Desert! Smaller cozy place, inside & outside dining with fabulous food and attentive service! Very enjoyable!!

Had Mothers Day brunch for three of us. It was our first time there but certainly not the last. The food was wonderful. Service great. I had a little glitch with my sandwich, pointed it out just so they were aware, and then amazing happened! The mistake was so minor, yet the manager made me take home a complementary new meal as if I'd ordered it to go. Again, no big mistake, and I certainly didn't ask for anything. Amazing. Anyway, it's a nice departure from all the "hard surface" noisy restaurants. There's carpet on the floor and linen on the tables, which to me adds to a nice quiet ambiance.
Very good dinner with friends. The fettucini Alfredo with shrimp 2 ppl had and loved. The chopped wedge salad and the coconut shrimp was delicious!
Yvonne
Have been here several times time for lunch with very good experiences and dinner did not disappoint.

Something id going on with this restaurant.....almost empty two nights in a row. Good food....prices a little high for this level of Italian food. High priced beverages, too. One of our orders had to be returned for being undercooked. Will most likely not return.
Barbara
On of our absolute favorite restaurants. Always consistently great food at great prices. Service is outstanding. Can't wait to go back
