Waldo's Ristorante

We were celebrating a birthday and expected the typical sparkler in dessert that other diners were served. Disappointed.

Our first time at this lovely restaurant. An excellent experience, great food, wonderful service and lovely decor. We will be back!

This was a very excellent meal. I think we found a new go to spot. The rigatoni bolognese and egg plant parmigiana were fantastic!

Great choice for our family get-together. Meal and service was excellent! Very enjoyable atmosphere.

What a wonderful experience. Will definitely return. Food, service and ambience was exceptional. If there was one issue, it would be the corkage fee which was $30; I consider that high.

We have been frequent customers, and we were very disappointed. The Caesar salad was tasteless. Not sure if any dressing was even put on it. The pasta was overcooked. The piccata sauce on the veal was thick and not so good. With all the excellent Italian restaurants, I don't think we will be back. Sorry Waldo.

What a gem! Waldo's delivers consistently excellent food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Every dish is flavorful and beautifully presented, truly authentic Italian with heart. The staff makes you feel like family, and the energy in the room adds to the experience. Noise level: Energetic: lively conversation and laughter all around, but still comfortable enough to enjoy your meal and good company. Highly recommend for a delicious, vibrant dining experience! Buon appetito!

Great selection of food items. The three of enjoy a variety of Chicken Piccata - Whitefish and Capellini w/Shrimp. Good service but a little noisy for conversations at the table we were seated at. Otherwise it was fine.

This place has gone way downhill in the few years since I last went there. They need to be more friendly towards people with dietary issues, although they did a decent job substituting butter with olive oil for my wife's fish. The chicken Marsala used to be excellent, but now it just has an odd flavor. They told us they don't use garlic for their sautéed vegetables and they are as boring as you might imagine. My lentil vegetable soup was watery, with few veggies, and it tasted FA's if the chicken stock came from bouillon cubes. My meal (soup and chicken) came to $49 + tax and tip, and absolutely wasn't worth that money. It's always a pity when once fine restaurants go downhill. Unless they enter the 21st century soon, there's only one way for this restaurant to go. Sad but true

We throughly enjoyed Waldo's. I had the lobster ravioli and it was delicious. My husband had the chicken parmacian and said it was delicious. Service was amazing. We highly recommend Waldo's. If we lived here, we would eat here a lot. The drinks were amazing as well. My husband said his dirty martini was just like the ones he used to get in Mew York when he worked up there.

What a fantastic find. Outstanding food and great people taking care of us. Can't wait to come back.

Waldo's is so good. The food is fresh, the service is top shelf, the wine list is amazing. A definite recommendation for Waldo's!!!

A taste of Italy in the desert . Waldo's was a great Friday night date night with my wife . We enjoyed a Caprese salad and two wonderful Italian specialities prepared perfectly. Highly recommend when in the Palm Desert area.

I had requested/reserved a quiet spot, not near a loud, crowded table, so when greater tried putting us near the busy bar, we kindly explained our preference for another table. Fortunately we made it to the smaller room and had it all to ourselves for our entire meal. What a fantastic anniversary! They even brought us a huge sparkling chocolate cake, Wines were spot on, Caesar salad delish, Chick parm and penne pesto chicken were fabulous. Lots of bread n cheese refills. And we made a timely departure in time for our concert at Agua Cal. All worked out perfectly!

Waldo's is truly a great place to dine. The food, the service, the staff...... It's one of the better ones in the desert.
