    As always, Il Corso was wonderful! Our waiter was great, the manager, Carlos, stopped by to make sure we were happy and our food was delicious. We had a great experience until the last few moments when a solo diner sat at the table next to ours and talked on her cell phone to catch her friend up on her day's activities. She was rude. Her waiter actually apologized for interrupting her call by asking for her order. Folks, if you need to be on your phone - do it before you sit down for dinner in a public place!

    This was our 2nd experience at Il Corso after a horrible experience a few years ago. Our dirty martini and Aperol Spritz were ok but we have had better. We split a Caesar Salad which was ok. Our entrees were ok but not memorable. There are better italian restaurants in town. Our server also didn’t have a lot of personality and acted like we were an inconvenience. We saw her spend more time at the hostess station. We will like not return.

    WE are retired and eat out frequently. We were surprised how easy it was to get into II Corse restaurant in Palm Springs. We we found how why there were few people eating , and most time slots were open!! THE FOOD WAS TERRIBLE. MY CHICKEN PARMESAN WAS OVER COOKED SO BADLY IT STUCK TO THE PLATE AND TASTED TERRIBLE! THE PASTA WAS NOT AL DENTE IN FACT I DOUBT IT WAS EVEN MADE THAT DAY!! PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOME PALCE ELSE. WE CERTAINLY WILL NEVER RETURN. OUR RESERVATION AT II CORSO WAS CANCELED BUT BECAUSE WE COULD NOT GET IN ANOTHER RESTAURANT WE WENT AHEAD ANYWAY . WOW AM I SORRY.
