Palmina By Puglia

"My friends and I went out for dinner. Did not realize how expensive it was until we were seated. Wine was $17+ per glass! Entrees were $25+. We should have left.. did not. We ordered the house wines that were $10 per glass. We all ordered dinner.. when it came we could not believe the small portions we received for that amount of money. When a young lady gave us our bill we asked if it could be put on separate checks. She was rude and very unprofessional with us. Told us they couldn’t do it and that it’s just the way it was and threw the bill in the middle of the table. As we took a look at it we all were charged $17 for our wine. We asked our waiter about it and he said the only house wine was a ros’e.. told him that should have been mentioned when we ordered. He was kind enough to give us the house wine price. It took us along time to figure out our bill. They also included the tip on the bill as well. It was not a fun girls night out for us! Never going there again.. are better Italian restaurants in Palm Springs.. we are only here for the winter and how disappointed we were.."

"On a weekend getaway to the Palm Springs and we decided to try something new. We had a 7pm reservation, we were on time and seated promptly. Water and bread arrived immediately. We had to flag down the hostess nearly 30 minutes after being seated to ask about our server, because no one had come to take our order. The hostess said she could take our order, but would send someone else over to help with wine selection “because she was 18.” A gentleman arrived, gave his wine suggestion and left. He never came back with the said wine. Our appetizer arrived, and shortly afterwards the main course. Our wine arrived after the main entrees. Food was good, but not worth feeling invisible. I usually take plenty of photos to accompany my reviews, honestly the service ruined the experience and my dinner. Also, be aware, we did not notice before we tipped that they automatically charge a 15% service charge."

"It is delicious. It is a few dollars higher per dish than other places might be, but it is well worth it. Their pizzas alone are worth a visit. I loved the blackened, chewy crusts. Pastas were cooked well and interestingly topped. Service was professional but not stuffy. The restaurant faces within the shopping center, so you don't see anything from the street. That simply means parking is easy. I am thrilled to have seen a random photo of their pizza across my social media and booked in within the week. I think you could likely walk in, but they do take reservations."

"Eric was our waiter and did an amazing job servicing us! He made A-mazzing nonalcoholic drink that was out of this work!!! The food was excellent, and the service even more! We’ve been here so many times and each time we are never disappointed! Great quality and service!!"
