"Disappointing dinner experience here last night. Warmly greeted by the hostess and seated in the busy pleasant main room. Server appeared promptly and offered to open the wine we brought. For the rest of the meal he was a blank slate, could’ve been a robot as evidenced by even the lack of a smile. Dining companions shared the beet salad which was nicely split for them. Was a bit surprised when we saw on the bill the $2 uncharge for this. The zucchini blossom appetizer was a big fail. The two pieces were completely mismatched in size, were limp and soggy and the cheese they were stuffed with was cold. After a long wait for mains they were a mixed bag. The pastas, lasagna and bolognese, were better than the cioppino and bronzino. The former tasted only of tomato and the fish was overcooked. The bronzino was well portioned but completely ordinary with the sparse sauce piled on one side with not enough to cover the filet. The vegetable sides were well prepared and quite good. Our quest for decent Italian food in Palm Springs continues."
