    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!

    This was my first dinner at the restaurant after hearing about it for years when visiting Palm Springs. Usually, I can’t get a reservation, but I did book an advance this time. The food lives up to its reputation with delicious and substantial portions(roasted chicken and branzino). The wine list is great with some inexpensive Italian by the glass. The greeters and waiters were very professional and friendly. I plan to be back every time I come to Palm Springs.

    The food and the service were wonderful. The restaurant however, should have a dress code. No tee shirts, short/ shorts and no jeans.

    Cesar, our waiter, was fantastic. The food was wonderful! There were four of us, three had pasta and I had the filet mignon. My steak was terrific, served with spinach and these extraordinary fried potatoes. Delicious! Everyone said their pasta dish was cooked properly and and very tasty. I would definitely come back and want to try the pasta next visit!

    White table cloth, traditional, Italian food, attentive and professional service with Sinatra music playing in the background couldn’t ask for more. We love this place.
