“My husband, sister-in-law and I had dinner here once while visiting Palm Springs. My husband and I started with tasty minestrone soup, and my sister-in-law had salad. I had excellent penne sausage. My companions had eggplant parmigiana. They commented that there was little breading on the eggplant. All was delicious. I had a virgin strawberry daiquiri. My husband had a lemon drop martini with vodka and lemon; and my sister-in-law red wine. We split one tiramisu and one cannoli. The food tastes level 5 exquisite; I would even rate it 6 out of 5. Some mistakes were made in service: we never got the spinach we ordered, and additional requested bread. If we return to Palm Springs we may come back to this restaurant.“
“The service was great. Our waiter was very helpful and fun. They all went out of their way for us to have a great experience. The food was a bit on the bland side- not bad, it was good but nothing to write home about. A tad expensive for the bland taste and small portion sizes. The restaurant is not large, so it did not feel overcrowded even when the dinner rush picked up“
“This place is the bomb. I love their sandwiches but you better get there early for a good selection. There ready to heat and serve is incredible and they have a great, kinda pricey, selection of pastas and sauces.Dietary restrictions: You can order custom items but you should do so ahead of time or they might not be able to accommodate.“
“This is officially my favorite restaurant in old town Palm Springs. I love the chicken Marsala, any type of pasta, and never forget their tiramisu. My boyfriend and I had such a lovely time in this beautiful place recently and I've been coming here for years with my family.“
“My party of 4 dined here on a Sunday evening. so happy to see that this new restaurant was full! We were there for the multitude of plant based options on their menu and we were not disappointed! I had the plant based risotto, which I loved, and my husband had the polenta dish that he also enjoyed. our Omni friends enjoyed their dishes as well. so glad to have another local restaurant where vegans can go for a nice dinner.“
“We stopped by for dinner on a snowbird trip from Colorado to Palm Springs almost a decade ago. Al Dente has become our favorite dinner restaurant - excellent food, great service (most recently we appreciate the high level of service provided by Gonzalo.) Great martinis?-Check. Outdoor dining and people watching? - Check. Total value? - Check. Feeling a special experience? - Check Check. We plan to keep coming back.“
“This beautiful restaurant was nothing but amazing in every way! We ordered the calamari as an appetizer, absolutely delicious. The spicy marinara sauce was such a great match. We shared a Caesar salad and the dressing was one of the best I've had. Our waiter was so friendly and helpful. I asked for a recommendation and it did not disappoint! We also ordered the homemade lasagna.....excellent. We will definitely return! Thank you for a great dining experience.“
