We have been LONG time visitors to Alberto's in Rancho Mirage. Although the food is quite good, we recently noticed some very sneaky tactics on behalf of the restaurant. If you ask for any substitutions whatsoever, make sure you ask if there will be an additional charge. The waitstaff is so solicitous that one might expect that a simple substitution... More

If you like being ripped off, this is the place to go. Double check your bill when it arrives and for goodness sake do not substitute one veggie or pasta for another. The son of the owner has failed to follow the example of his Father and is looking for a quick buck.

Once in while you have a real exceptional restaurant experience, one that stands out and locks away in your memory forever. Alberto's did that for me.

Here is where you can eat like the real italians do! Entering the door already makes you feel like you are traveling back in time and it... More

This was a second visit with 6 years between visits. Why so long? I think it might be the prices. The food was decent enough and the service was great. I just don't understand charging such high prices for Italian when there are some very good restaurants in the valley with lower prices. However, that being said, the atomosphere is... More
