    Aaron was our dedicated and professional server. The food was timed perfectly. Usually eat at the bar for HH, but we were entertaining a client who only wanted to eat here. It is popular for a reason and this restaurant checks all the boxes.

    We usually do not have anything to criticize at Mamma Gina. We love it. But last night was very frustrating because I ordered chicken and asked for no salt. My meal took over 45 minutes to prepare. Everyone around us was served quickly and we were shocked that we were kept waiting. We eat there frequently, and never had this kind of experience. Now we know so chicken will never be my choice again. It is a terrific restaurant with a great menu and delicious food, and it is not over-priced.

    Best meal we had all week while visiting Palm Springs! Packed on a Thursday night and excellent specials. Our server Juan V was so attentive and gave great recommendations. I love spicy food and the Chef brought the heat with the linguine and prawns! We can’t wait to go back again!

    The food was delicious. Our only disappointment was that we were sat at a quirky little booth with high walls. The only view was straight ahead looking at a table for two. We really didn’t get a sense of the atmosphere at all and felt like we were sitting in the detention corner!

    The entree did not contain porcini mushrooms and the salad did not contain heirloom tomatoes, there is a lack of real ingredients on the menu.

    Restaurant Mamma Gina's is truly, a desert gem!! Each and every visit I make, is an OUTSTANDING experience! The management do their best to provide a suitable table, the servers cater on you to a degree of professionalism and the chef and kitchen staff knock it out of the park, on each visit! I look forward to seeing Mamma Gina's very, very soon!
