    Authentic Italian food paired with a gracious wait staff makes for an amazing dining experience. And, whatever else you order (it’s all delicious) make sure you at least get a side of the Fettuccine Alfredo. The best of the best!

    Service and food could not have been better, although the Caprese salad tomato was crunchy but my bad, as they’re not in season. Salmon special and Wife’s broccoli rigatoni was great, as was the garlic bread. Waiters were quick and informative and perfectly attentive. Have been here a dozen times and have never been disappointed. Classic Italian ambiance and style.

    Old School Elegance in Palm Desert. If you are over 35 years old, don’t miss it! If you’re under 35, well you’ll be 35 soon enough.

    It was fine. Not sure I understand the hype. Not really that authentic / pasta was over cooked, clearly not made fresh just reheated in hot water / we had a very expensive linguini with Alfredo and what was supposed to be filet medallions but frankly looked like hamburgers. Calamari wasn’t crispy and slightly rubbery. Garlic bread was the best part. Meh
