Il Giardino Italian Restaurant - Palm Springs, CA

I visited this restaurant with my wife for a quiet dinner, and we were pleasantly surprised. The place had a calm and relaxing vibe, with soft lighting and clean decor. The menu had a lot of variety without being overwhelming. I went with the beef stew, and my wife ordered a vegetarian risotto — both dishes were flavorful and nicely presented. The service was friendly and attentive without hovering. We took our time, never felt rushed, and even stayed for dessert. The chocolate mousse was a perfect way to end the meal. We'll definitely be back!

Had the carbonara and my partner had the fettuccine rosa. Both delish and great service. Atmosphere was basic but charming.

We were looking for a nice Italian restaurant for a birthday dinner and cake across this place. It was highly rated and geographically convenient so we decided to check it out! So glad we did! The starters were great! We had the Bruschetta and the cheesy bread. The lasagna was savory and mild and the sausage penne was creamy and delectable. For a dessert we asked for an affogato which is a scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with espresso. Delicious! Quiet and subtle, this is a gem worth discovering.

Fantastic Italian food and great service. All the pasta dishes we ordered were delicious. Highly recommended.
