We sat outside and both had the mahi-mahi. Our server was attentive and the food was delicious. We will return again and again.

Gonsala was our waiter, and he is fantastic, so friendly, accommodating and goes far to please guests.

The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Additionally I was surprised when the bill came that it very reasonable. We didn't have any alcoholic beverages but dinner for two with a shared appetizers was $80 which I think was super reasonable!

This was an excellent place to have dinner. They were very busy but attentive to our table. The food was excellent! We enjoyed ourselves very much. I would definitely go back.

The main entree was delicious. The ambience and music was very entertaining. My wife and I really enjoy classic 50-60s era music. The wine selection was satisfying. Our server provided excellent pairings with our meal. The only thing I found lacking was the bread. If I can make a recommendation, toasted bread with oil and vinegar would be much better. 👌

Such good classic Italian! Their marina / arrabbiata sauce is a MUST try if you like garlic. I love their tiramisu as well. The staff here are always so warm and treat us with the kindest hospitality. I prefer to sit outside but the inside is very nice as well (maybe slightly more formal inside).

Recommended dishes: Bolognese, Marinara

Servizio molto buono con personale cortese e disponibile , peccato per i primi che erano un po' sciocchi e annacquati.

The best in the valley for sure.
The staff was attentive and patiently explained any and all questions regarding different dishes, meats and sauces.
The service was 100% spot on.
The food amazing!
I had the mahi-mahi piccata and have never had better anywhere.
The tirimisu was to die for. Also one of the best I've ever had.
Definitely a hidden gem in the Palm Springs downtown area.

Always an enjoyable and moderately priced dinner out. Friendly staff are efficient and make you feel welcomed. The food is generally well prepared and good portions. A good place for locals to dine in a Resort Town filled with over-priced restaurants.

Like others have said, I too have driven right by this place for years and finally went in and had a great dinner! My aunt and I ordered the nicely priced summer pre-fix menu which was great, and my cousin ordered pasta with cream sauce from the main menu. Everything was great especially the tiramisu. Will definitely be back!

First time patrons for my birthday Eve Dinner with my husband and a special couple in our neighborhood. Entering from their rear parking area I was a bit concerned, as the entrance is a bit seedy/rundown, but opening the inside door exposed an elegant, intimate and very soothing atmosphere. The service was warm, attentive and expertly stealth. Well made cocktails, homemade bread with olive oil, balsamic, and refreshing tomato bruschetta to top the bread...and then the entrees! We each chose different menu items, mine being veal Marsala with a side of perfect oil, butter and parsley spaghetti. The Marsala sauce was superb...meaty mushroom slices in that rich wine gravy made with a splash of cognac. Everyone loved their meals (how often does that happen). They heard that it was my birthday and finished the meal with surprise desert of a frozen lemon Gelato ball with a candle! PERFECT EVENING!
