Great flavors, wonderful service. Glad we had dinner here! Try there Frutti di Mare, excellent.

A pretty nice Italian restaurant in downtown Palm Springs, with outdoor misters, a pleasant interior with comfortable booths, and a nice little bar. My friends and I came here when we were hungry for Italian during a recent stay in the Palm Desert.
They offer a large variety of sauces that can be applied to spaghetti, rigatoni, tagliatelle, etc. they also have a lot of salads, soups, and meat dishes. I ordered broccoli soup, a burrata salad, and tagliatelle with Pomodoro sauce.
Everything was really fresh, though I think the burrata was the highlight for me, with the exceptionally flavorful, purplish tomatoes and the creamy cheese. The soup was all right, though slightly underwhelming, and the pasta, while perfectly cooked, lacked a bit of flavor in the pomodoro.
Overall, a pretty good experience, stacking up to ~4.4/5 stars. The service was very attentive and friendly, the atmosphere was pretty good, and the food definitely had some high moments.

Such good classic Italian! Their marina / arrabbiata sauce is a MUST try if you like garlic. I love their tiramisu as well. The staff here are always so warm and treat us with the kindest hospitality. I prefer to sit outside but the inside is very nice as well (maybe slightly more formal inside).

Very enjoyable traditional Italian restaurant, food is excellent, service was very nice. The location is nice peaceful but yet busy enough to enjoy nice outdoor dinner, heaters running to take the cool night nip off. Plenty of street parking around.

Great staff, makes you feel comfortable and at home. Quick service and checking in to make sure the food and experience is great. Food was delicious, especially the veal Marsala with mushrooms. But not a fan of the pesto with cream. Great outdoor space to sit and people watch.

First time patrons for my birthday Eve Dinner with my husband and a special couple in our neighborhood. Entering from their rear parking area I was a bit concerned, as the entrance is a bit seedy/rundown, but opening the inside door exposed an elegant, intimate and very soothing atmosphere. The service was warm, attentive and expertly stealth. Well made cocktails, homemade bread with olive oil, balsamic, and refreshing tomato bruschetta to top the bread…and then the entrees! We each chose different menu items, mine being veal Marsala with a side of perfect oil, butter and parsley spaghetti. The Marsala sauce was superb…meaty mushroom slices in that rich wine gravy made with a splash of cognac. Everyone loved their meals (how often does that happen). They heard that it was my birthday and finished the meal with surprise desert of a frozen lemon Gelato ball with a candle! PERFECT EVENING!

Ate here 3/28/2026 5:30 pm. Fantastic host at the Front Desk. We sat outside for dinner and our server and the support staff were very polite and provided excellent service. Food was delicious too.

Update 2: I have pesto sauce now 🙂 yaaay! I think it’s their best sauce. If you like a thicker pesto I recommend scooping from the bottom to get more of the basil and garlic.
Previous: I ordered celery soup, pesto, marinara, and 4 cheese sauce. I didn’t receive my pesto sauce—instead I got a different red sauce. The restaurant would not admit to making the mistake themselves even though my bag came tied and with my name and order info listed on it. They insist I get support from Uber Eats but Uber Eats will not take any action or respond either. The hostess could not get the manager to take the phone. No kind of remedy or apology offered to me.
I didn’t like the white or red sauces (with the noodles I cooked at home), but the celery soup is nice to sip on.
Update: Management called me back. I sent an Uber Courier now to try to pick up pesto sauce. Will update again once I receive it.

Wonderful service coupled with some good Italian fare. Standouts for us were pasta in the signature pink sauce and limoncello gelato.
They had a gluten free pasta option which was perfect for one person in our party.

Went to Palm Springs in March and October of this year and dined at Al dente Trattoria both times for dinner. And, both times did not disappoint. The food was fresh, tasty, and delicious. Great menu options. Solid service and cute atmosphere. Nice outdoor space, too. I’ll definitely return on my next trip to PS.
