    Most of the food was fine, but the special of the day was in a cream sauce…pasty and not good. Ate the shrimp, left the rest. Great atmosphere and fun staff. High prices for what you get.

    Authentic Italian menu with the same sides for most dishes. The strip steak special was full of gristle, but saltimboca was tasty. No virgin cocktails on the menu. Opening dining room became quite loud as the room filled up. Bussers eager to clear tables as soon as plates were emptied despite other diners still finishing their meals.

    Excellent Italian restaurant. We enjoy eating here every year when visiting friends in Indian Wells. The food is authentic and well prepared. We enjoyed spaghetti diavola with shrimp and a salmon dish along with an excellent Santa Margherita bottle of wine. Service is amazing with a very friendly staff. Well worth a visit when in Palm Desert.

    We were excited to try this for our anniversary because of the popularity, but unfortunately this one was a miss for us on everything from the bread service to salads to main course.
