Palmina By Puglia

First and last visit! I began with what they called potato, celery and garlic 'soup'. This had no substance and little flavor. Like milk in a bowl. I didn't eat it. I asked if the salmon was cooked medium and was told yes. It was dry and overcooked with broccoli smothered in lemon and s small salad all crammed in a small bowl. I ordered a child's spaghetti so I could experience their red sauce...bitter and acidic (couldn't eat it). Our meal for two of us with one glass of wine for my husband, a service/wage upcharge, tax and tip came to $116. Way too much for a disappointing meal.

We had a wonderful dinner! Everything from the salad to desert (Cannoli). We both had Rigatoni Bolognese and it was perfect with lighted spiced meat sauce. The service was charming by Niko.
I had resisted going because I thought it was the same restaurant that had been there 2 years ago.
I moved here 10 years ago and there have been 2 expensive, awful Italians restaurants in that same spot. My italian friend dragged me there, to convinve me it was a new Italian restaurant. The bread was good too. A MUST for both of us.
We got to know the folks next to us and they loved their food also. They had the volcano pizza which looks like a huge 360 • canzone, but 2 ft. high.

Had a great Sunday brunch here (what can I say, I’m a sucker for free-flow Prosecco).

Delicious food, wonderful outdoor patio. At the south end of downtown Palm Springs.

Service was attentive, never waited for our waitress to check in on us.

Will try dinner next time.

We tried four different dishes, and they were all amazing. I was not actually going to try the pizza but it was recommended that they have some of the best pizza. I am so glad I tried it because it was amazing.

It's a curious place. Located in a strip mall on the north end of town, the dining room is light and spacious, yet somehow feels impersonal. Looking at the menu, I kept thinking that I must be missing a page or two. It's very limited. Prices are not exorbitant yet neither are they inexpensive. I have no complaints but I have no reason to return either.

The worst pizza I have ever had in my life. If I were trying pizza for the first time, I would never eat it again. Please, as a purported champion of pizzas, you do not even know how to properly cook an egg. For $45, the Volcano Pizza was extremely disappointing, as I was expecting a plethora of flavors, but instead, it was the worst pizza I have ever had, thank you. 🍕

Phenomenal!! We had a weekend girls trip in Palm Springs and came here for dinner on a Saturday night. Carlos was our server and he was exceptional.

We had the most amazing salad, spaghetti, butternut squash ravioli, and a pizza made by a world champion pizza maker from Italy. We also had a “soup of the day”. Everything was delicious. We will be back!!!

It was a wonderful experience and meal.

I had a very inhospitable unsuccessful interaction trying to order for takeout. Have not been to the place yet, but if the way they treat people on the phone is any indication, look out.

One of the best and most authentic Italian restaurants I've tried! Having grown up in Italy, it felt like I was back home. The waiter was friendly and attentive, and the owner himself made us his famous carbonara....so perfectly creamy and full of pecorino!! We also tried some pizzas. The dough was amazingly light and savory!
