Great Italian restaurant!! We were visiting and came across this place Big menu, great service and great food We'll be back for Indian Wells tennis and we will visit them again!!!

The food was great. All meals were good Problem is salad did not come before the meal arrived. Had to sent back food to wait for salad to be served and then one couple finished and watched other. Couple eat. We have been there a number of times and like it. It was just too busy today. Packed house

Disappointing

Service was poor at the beginning of our dinning experience. Server seemed perturbed at our requests. They got better after we said something. Food was superb. We will go again but if service remains the same we will go to another Italian restaurant

I like this place and have dined here probably 6 times. I come here when I cannot get a reservation elsewhere. That said I DO like the food, and all other times I've been here the service has been good. Last time I was here, however, the place was VERY busy and the service greatly suffered. I am not sure they had enough waitstaff to take care of everyone at the tables. The harried waiter, while friendly, affected the enjoyment of the meal and the pleasure of the people dining with me. I do not like to see someone working so hard when eating out. I will go back as this is the first time this has happened.

Outstanding! Everyone loved their apps and dinner - especially the salmon with lemon sauce. Host Mike and server Josh made sure everyone was happy! First time here but certainly not last!

I ordered the wrong thing so I am not a good one to ask. I had something with truffle oil which I had never had and didn't like. Salad was fantastic. Husband's meal was terrific

Went to this restaurant recently. The food was just okay. Had the Chicken Parm with spinach. Not much flavor and the spinach had too much garlic. In the end the service was okay but not over the top. It’s expensive for what it is and they charge an extra 3% to use a credit card. I would think since it is so expensive everyone is using a credit card. I would not recommend the restaurant and wouldn’t go back

Such great veal and penne with vodka sauce. Salads kinda lame and small. I mean how much could another few pieces or lettuce and vegetables cost? Excellently priced wine list of fine Italians. Really friendly and oersonable service. Outside tables are the bomb.

The food was amazing. I had the ravioli which was tender and extremely thin and light. My wife had the lasagna which came out piping hot. She had enough left over for lunch. The value is definitely worth it.

The staff are terrific. The lasagna was a large serving but was just noodles and meat sauce no layers of cheese. The veal was ok. All in all the food is OK with large servings and great staff.

The experience was dreadful. The waitress was poor and we waited 1 hour for the salads and another 45 minutes for our meal. Food was fine and generous but the staff were unhelpful to be sure. Ruined our evening. Plus the hostess said it was our fault as we didn't order fast enough. She hadn't given us 5 minutes to view the menu. They need a wake up call

We chose to eat outside at Le Donne Cucina Italiana because we have dined outside all four times we have been there. The inside seating is closely packed, and we prefer the outdoor fresh air. The service and food were fantastic. Generous portions of delicious food. Will go back many more times.

The food is always great. My favorite is clams and linguine . My husband loves the chicken parmigian. It could be a little noisy but the service and terrific food are worth it. You will not be disappointed. There are many choices on the menu for every.

We had six for dinner. Soup of the day was great The swordfish was great. The veal parm was excellent as was the pasta. Very Marsala and all other dishes were great. Problem with bread not delivered until meal served and salad came late almost same time as meal. But overall great. Got loud after restaurant filled up. This was our fourth visit so food obliviously is great

The fettuccine Alfredo was outstanding! They use a narrower fettuccine noodle, so you get to taste more of the incredible Alfredo sauce! It was busy and it was very loud, but the server was nice and he was knowledgeable. Cocktails were reasonably priced and the bread was really yummy!
