We were craving Italian in Palm Springs. Were here visiting and didnt want to go to Olive Garden. This place is what an Italian restaurant should be like. Food was really good. Servers were super friendly and nice. Portions were great and lots of choices in the menu for anything Italian. Great place and will be coming here again.
