That's Italian for delicious! We had a great experience on the patio at La Spiga. We started with the burrata salad, followed by calamari. For dinner we split the penne with sausage and the veal scallopini with mushrooms! Definitely a must do for dinner in Palm Springs!

From the moment the six of us were seated the service was terrible. We were seated for nearly 15 minutes with no water. We had brought our own wines and champagne. Finally the maitre d asked if we had been serviced and when we said no he asked what he could do. We ordered water, a champagne bucket and a... More

My first night was for business. The waiter was very friendly and down to earth. He definitely had favorite selections on the menu and wasn't shy helping us choose. When we were hesitant on what wine to order, he had the sommelier visit us. The sommelier helped us choose a very fine selection. He didn't steer towards the high priced... More

La Spiga Ristorante in Palm Desert is one of the best in the valley. Make it a priority stop while in the area. What a wonderful setting! Make sure you get there before dark to enjoy the view. And, sit on the patio. The food and service were wonderful. Loved my pasta bolognese; my husband loved the veal. One word... More

Love sitting outside was cozy atmosphere. Five star dining, extensive wine list. Insalata burata is to die for. Creamy homemade mozzarella on vine ripened tomatoes. Pastas are all homemade. Chocolate terrine heavenly. Second time visiting restaurant in Palm Springs.

We went for a business dinner. The food and service was probably the best I have ever recieved. They had many organic items on the menu which were absolutely delicious. Save room for desert because they are as great as the food.

We had visited this restaurant several times, never disappointed. Restaurant setting is marvelous, particularly the "outdoored" court yard(indoored, actually.) Service is first class and food is just wonderful. Only little drawback is the portion is relatively small. expensive. I post the food/dishes we had enjoyed above. All delicious. Linguine Marittima is my favorite.

Returned again on this vacation to this beautiful setting. The gardens outside offer an incredible setting. The menu offers delicious choices: salmon, rack of lamb and pasta dishes were all tasty. The menu offers wonderful wines. Serving staff is excellent and everyone is warmly welcomed.

My husband and I dined here this past weekend. Two of our friends who have homes in the area recommended this restaurant, so we wanted to give it a try. We're so glad we did! We were able to dine outside, and it was so incredibly lovely! The rose garden, the herb garden, flowering trees, the views of the mountain,... More
