14 Best Italian Restaurants in Palm Springs

“Okay, I’m from NY and they get a 5 Star all the way around. My family ordered off the menu and I ordered a custom sandwich. The staff was professional and extremely friendly . They made suggestions on bread choices and explained the differences. If in Palm Springs, you will must stop in and eat. You will thoroughly enjoy a true great deli sandwich. They have other foods and deserts but we went for the true subs. Sorry no photos, we were hungry. My apologies“

“We have been fans of SammyG's for years. But last night was a great disappointment. We hosted first time guests - the table was in a horrid location almost forcing two of us to try to eat at the edge. The waiter refused to provide separate checks for the two couples. Really? in 2025 you can't provide separate checks? If this is a restaurant policy, shame on SammyG's. If this was the waiter's policy - shame on him. Bummer experience - but the food was their usual very good.“

“Everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you for seating me in a very nice spot for my birthday. Thank you for the birthday ice cream after my meal. The food was delicious. The bread was yummy. The wine was exquisite. The waiter was wonderful. The owners make you feel welcomed and part of the family. I will definitely be returning and this was my third time being here. Thank you 😊 🏆🏆🏆🏆💕💕💕💕☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️“

“Very nice service. Super yummy food. We had a great night out.“

“My husband and I ate here on a whim tonight and it ended up being the best Italian food we’ve had since we visited Italy last year. We ordered the bruschetta, linguine with homemade pesto and cream sauce, tagliatelle al ragu, and the dessert of the day, which was a Sicillian cake. Everything was perfect. The pasta was slightly al dente and not soaked in sauce while still being very flavorful (exactly how it’s served in Italy) and the cake was the best cake either of us have had in our lives. The chef (and owner? Teresa) came to check on us to see how everything tasted. Our server was great, very welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu and hospitable. We loved our entire experience here. Our only regret is that we can’t take them and the whole restaurant back with us to Texas. We will definitely return next time we’re in town.“

“We had a fabulous dinner last night at Cipolline in Palm Springs. Dawn was our waitress and did a very professional, kind and great job. The food was extremely good. We will return and will tell our friends.“

“Great authentic Italian fare with great service. Busy though, so best to make a reservation (especially on Thursday evening).“

“Amazing dinner of lobster ravioli and cioppino.“

“dinner was light, nice portions. small issue with disappearing server..never mentioned fish, soup,or dessert of the day. no bread basket appeared, no mention of what wine we were served. we'll return,hopefully our experience will be better“

“Mostly, we sit at the bar and enjoy their pizza, unless we're with a group of friends (which they'll happily accommodate). The food is great, the staff is lovely and the garden setting is a delight.

Vegetarian options: Lots of pasta and pizza options without meat!“

“One of the better Italian restaurants I've been to. 9 of us all ordered something different and everything was excellent including the service. Friendly, efficient, loving family run business. Each of us will be back! Thank you ?“

“The one in Palm Desert is good. Nice restaurants and area. Delicious food.“

“I came here for the first time to pick up an online order. I was only inside for a few minutes but I enjoyed the atmosphere and the colors of the walls and table cloths. I ordered a meat lovers pizza. Personal size. Good 4 slice sizes. It's a very savory pizza. The inside of the restaurant has a bar. I wasn't able to see what beers are on draft but next time I will sit at the bar.“
