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.

Have you ever gone to a restaurant, where EVERYTHING you are was just over the top delicious? Well this is that place. You gotta come here. It was not over expensive at all. The service was attentive and friendly. And the Rat pack vibe was very much alive there. Especially while we were sitting in the Sinatra room. Love it!

They were able to sneak us in without a reservation and we are so glad they did. Service was fast and friendly. The place was packed.We enjoyed our meals, both the chicken marsala mushroom as well the ravioli marinara.The white Zinfandel was excellent!! We will return next time we are in Palm Springs!

You have to stop here for an evening meal. The ambience is reminiscent of the 1940s, you almost expect Dino, Frank and Sammy come walking in the door at any time. If it is old school Italian pasta that you crave this is the place bring your appetites the servings are generous. The only downside for me was they only serve New York cuts of steak, which I am not partial to.

Had a fabulous dinner here and absolutely loved my meal. I got the chicken parmigiana, and the chicken was so nice and thin. The angel hair pasta on the side was tasty, although could have used a little more sauce.I loved my meal so much I cleaned my plate, which is unusual for me!The only odd thing is that for a place with a full bar, soda was canned. You can’t beat a fountain soda.

Lovely food, lovely wine. Have been in a couple of times. Just know that if you’re unlucky enough to be seated in the back hallway with the bathrooms, the tables are plastic folding tables like you’d find at a family reunion and made for a very strange juxtaposition of aesthetics. It seems as if staff places people based off of their clothes to keep up with appearances — be sure to wear your best tux.

Great atmosphere and wonderful food. The eggplant park is perfection. The chicken parmigiana was fabulous and you have to try the Berries and cappuccino ice cream it is hands down the best tasting ice cream this side of the planet.

A PS institution. Very good cocktails and great food. Traditional Italian American fare, nothing fancy but well prepared and delicious. But what made the evening great was the excellent service!

We were late for our reservation due to traffic, I called & was guaranteed our table, which was very considerate. Very generous pours for our martinis. Service was most excellent! It will definitely be a favorite dining destination.

Food was delicious and plentiful - we had chicken piccata, eggplant parmesan, and the mozzarella marinara. Sat on the outdoor patio which was lovely and quieter. Best was our server, wish we had caught his name, he was friendly, attentive and charming!
