- JJudyVIPPhiladelphia County •241 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe front desk at the Marriott Shadow Ridge recommended Castelli’s saying it had the best, truly Italian food in the area. They were right. The fettuccine Alfredo was the lightest I’ve ever tasted. The veal chop was excellent, very meaty, little fat, flavorful and perfectly cooked. The pesto sauce on the gnocchi was too watery for my liking. Tiramisu and spumoni were delicious. Our waiters were all attentive and took great care of us. Our waiter was Jaime and he and the other waiters were great team with everyone working together helping each other. Will definitely return!More infoCastelli'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Palm Desert•4.8
- 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
