13 Best Italian Restaurants in Palm Springs

“Mixed experience, I’ll have to try this place again. The muffaletta sandwich was awesome on the delicious focaccia bread, but the eggplant Parmesan tasted like old oil, it was stale and tasted a few days old. We ended up having to throw it out. My husband had tried to order it as a sandwich, but there must’ve been a miscommunication. Either way, even on a sandwich it wouldn’t have been great. Excited to try the other sandwiches on the takeout menu!“

“Had a great dinner! Neighborhood gem for sure! Everyone was awesome! Hostesses were very warm and welcoming. The service was excellent. Have to give a shout out to the Manager for running such a great venue. Thanks for making our night special. Walter“

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

“I visited this restaurant with my wife for a quiet dinner, and we were pleasantly surprised. The place had a calm and relaxing vibe, with soft lighting and clean decor. The menu had a lot of variety without being overwhelming. I went with the beef stew, and my wife ordered a vegetarian risotto — both dishes were flavorful and nicely presented. The service was friendly and attentive without hovering. We took our time, never felt rushed, and even stayed for dessert. The chocolate mousse was a perfect way to end the meal. We'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Amazing dinner of lobster ravioli and cioppino.“

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

“We went to Birba on an exceptionally hot night and sat at the bar. We stayed cool by the misters and had a wonderful evening. The Bartender Lugo was insightful, friendly, efficient and professional. Our food (melon/prosciutto salad and specialty pizza) was amazing and service was well timed. Although not hungry enough for dessert, the menu looked fantastic. I commend Birba for a lovely evening in a lovely al fresco setting. It was also wonderful to be slightly out of town - a little more peaceful than some of the down town settings.“

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

“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“

“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 ?“

“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.“
