Went here tonight for dinner. Ambiance was nice, and the food was decent though I found the portions to be a bit small. Three stars because I had to send my branzino back for being undercooked, then it was slow to come back fully cooked and was not offered a glass of wine or anything as compensation.

Good. But not excellent. I live close by so it's a go to in off season when it isn't mobbed by tourists. The lasagne is my favorite of things I've tried. The cocktails are well mixed. The house wine is ok.

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

Authentic Italian foods as it can be. Family small business. Very cozy ambiance. Great staff and service. Reservation is highly recommended if you like to experience.

If you are looking for a nice Italian food spot definitely check this place. The prices are very good while offering a high quality standard. The staff is extremely friendly making sure you are well taken care of. And the food is very good , very rustic Italian flavor with many selections to choose from. Will definitely have to visit again to taste more of what is offered. If you are in the downtown Palm Springs area and looking for well priced high dining, definitely check this place out. It will not disappoint. Also make sure you make reservations for this place is always busy.

Food is pretty good. Try the homemade raviolis and their rack of lamb. Everyone their is friendly and the service is prompt and attentive

Service was OK. Take out was fine. The food was decent, but it was the price that bowled me over: $63 for ravioli, a caprese salad, and a cannoli? Seriously? No. The quality did not match the pricing. Won't be going back.

Good Italian food,. Good service. I ordered the bruschetta to start. It was served on a soft and toasted warm bread, piled high. It was good, but served with oregano instead of basil, a bit bitter and stronger than basil. For my main I ordered lasagna. The noodles were well cooked and the sauce was flavorful. Lots of cheese too. The service was nice and friendly. The ambiance was non-traditional, but nice.

Had dinner last night. Husband had the lasagna I had the minestrone with salmon. We were both under whelm. The soup mostly just tasted greasy. The bread was excellent and the service was friendly and attentive. It might have been an off night but I won't be returning to find out.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was wonderful. Loved the calamari in the spicy Sicilian sauce. I wish I had that sauce recipe! And the penne cream was also rich and very flavorful. Absolutely would come here again when we visit and highly recommend!

I'd give this dining experience a 10 if I could. The food was the freshest and most flavorable of any food I've tasted while visiting PS. I had the MARVELOUS opportunity to visit Teresa and she was amazing. She shared how the food was from her grandmother in Italy. I would love spending a day in the kitchen learning how to prepare food this way. We'll be back I would vote this the BEST IN THE VALLEY, hands down. Thank you David for an attentive waiter. Great experience.

Totally mediocre Italian. I have no idea what other reviewers of this restaurant are talking about. The place looked cute and authentic but the food did not deliver. The calamari was just at the point of being overdone and chewy although the sauce was tasty. My husband ordered Chicken Marsala but what he got was some chicken with cream sauce dish that they called marsala. Theresa’s ravioli was okay, the ragu was fairly good. Service was iffy at best.This may be good to some but we have been to some pretty spectacular Italian restaurants around the country and this unfortunately was not one of them.
