All were excellent-the soup was exceptionally delicious. We dined outside with a heater overlooking El Paseo street. Very quiet and enjoyable. Highly recommend.More infoPacifica Seafood RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Palm Desert•4.6
- JJulieHawaii •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI was impressed the minute I walked in; they already knew I had asked for outdoor seating. This kind of detail reception gives you a welcoming feeling. The food came very fast, with generous servings. I had to take half of my saltimbocca home. The two sides, broccoli and carrots, which I chose, were particularly delicious. My son ordered sand dabs and was not disappointed. I love the ambience. It reminds me of old-time restaurants in SF, where I live. Service was classy and dignified. I enjoy the meal as much as the environment. I was eating with my son. And we enjoyed a mother-son dinner together. But I think it would be a great place for a young couple on their first date. Or some guy trying to impress a lady, or vice versa. The atmosphere engenders warm feeling and prmotes good conversation. When I visit Palm Desert again, I'll definitely come back.More infoMimmo's Italian RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Palm Desert•4.7

- MMichaelVIPAustin •287 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoExcellent Italian restaurant. We enjoy eating here every year when visiting friends in Indian Wells. The food is authentic and well prepared. We enjoyed spaghetti diavola with shrimp and a salmon dish along with an excellent Santa Margherita bottle of wine. Service is amazing with a very friendly staff. Well worth a visit when in Palm Desert.More infoRistorante Mamma GinaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Palm Desert•4.6
