Johnny Costa understates how good the restaurant is by claiming "Best Italian Restaurant" by Palm Springs Life. This would be one of the best Italian Restaurants anywhere in the USA!

Large parking lot behind the restaurant. Small patio area for outdoor dining. Have eaten here about five times, most recently on April 19th. The food is consistently superb. Staff are warm, engaging and knowledgable about the menu. Our server, Debra, was extremely helpful and attentive. We have had the Fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti marinara, halibut, and salmon.

Our waitress Deborah made our evening. Food was great. The Sinatra steak was great and it took us back to the old days of the Rat Pack here. The halibut was fresh. The noise level allowed conversation Worth the trip downtown

The spaghetti and meatballs is among the best, and... More
