We were recommended this lovely restaurant, and it did not disappoint! We were greeted warmly by the owners, who made sure we were comfortably seated on a cool evening—near heaters to keep us cozy.
Dinner was outstanding. The calamari in its rich tomato sauce was absolutely delicious, and the sea bass was cooked to perfection. Truly one of the best meals we’ve had in Palm Springs.
A special shoutout to our waiter, who was both incredibly personable and wonderfully professional. The whole experience was memorable, and we’ll definitely be back!

The pasta was AMAZING. I got gluten free penne with pesto, and as a gluten free person I was happily surprised at how perfectly the pasta was cooked! Finding good gluten free pasta in restaurants is a rarity and I can’t thank Giardino enough for that. I highly recommend getting the good pasta served with chicken, because the one flaw is that it is VERY buttery, and having chicken or a side bread is good for soaking some of that up.
It should also be noted how efficient the staff were- our pastas were ready within ten minutes and all of the workers had a smile on their face. Overall, I’m highly impressed!

I drive 40 mins in traffic to come here. Freshly made pasta and great prices. I get double the chicken and spend about $23 … great deal free parking too

low quality food. It’s no good at all! Had a pasta al salmon plus additional shrimps for $19.66 total. So the price pretty much as in any real cafe, but the taste is so poor you wouldn’t even believe it. Shrimps have taste like garbage. Salmon is smoked like hundred times and the taste is just smoke.

Please change your salad to-go containers. My entire salad emptied itself by the time I got back to my car and this isn’t the first time. The lids are super loose and don’t snap shut.
Food is great but your to-go container sucks.

Delicious! The restaurant is decorative open Modern fashion. The owners are delightful. They recommended dishes to me and informed me that that I could order, pretty much to my liking, anything from the menu and modify it.
I got 2 pasta dishes to go the total is 17.xx. What a great deal for any Italian restaurant, let alone one of this quality. It is a steal. Pasta dishes come with two pieces of focaccia bread.
The kitchen is open to watch the chef’s create Masterpiece after masterpiece. I ordered fresh tagliatelle and I saw that fresh tubes of rigatoni we’re being worked on at the counter. My meals were already under 6 minutes, as the pasta is fresh.
Damn that pasta is delicious. Al Dente to perfection. Bolognese sauce was Perfection, the tomato taste to it was delicious. Comes with a side of parmesean cheese. There’s absolutely no need to season it with salt or pepper. It is that good. The portions are generous. 2 meals for me.
I can’t wait come back and try another dish. I definitely recommend this place for a fresh, authentic, budget friendly italian meal.

I visited this specific location, today 4/25 at 5:39pm. I ordered takeout pink penne with broccoli. I opened my food when I got to work and noticed not just one … but MULTIPLE bugs all throughout my broccoli. I immediately and respectfully went to get a refund. The manager was UNAPOLOGETIC and extremely rude and disrespectful.. insinuating that I lied about having bugs in my food, AFTER showing them photos, AND I even brought the food back for them to see themselves. The manager began to accuse me of having opened my food outside even after I explained multiple times, that i opened it INDOORS at my job. He still refused to issue an apology at the very LEAST . I did get my refund but that is not enough. I contacted LA County public health. This is unacceptable and no one should ever be treated the way I was mistreated at this establishment. Extremely disappointed in not only the unsanitary food , but the lack of proper customer service from the manager. 0/10 wouldn’t recommend.

I tried the duck ragu with asparagus and truffle oil special. You couldn’t even tell what kind of meat they were using as it lacked any distinctive duck flavor. That and there was hardly any meat to begin with. I also couldn’t taste the truffle oil which is normally a very noticeable flavor. The asparagus was slivers taken from the bottom of the asparagus so they tasted bitter. The pasta itself is okay but a bit over cooked and the garlic bread was a nice addition. All of this for almost $20. You’re better off going to Trader Joe’s and getting their premade sauce and your favorite pasta.
