- AAlicevipPortland / Oregon •51 reviews5.0Dined todayWe have been going to Waldo's for over a year and enjoy it very much. Recently they have changed staff and there have been some bumps in the road, but it seems they are working them out. The food remains excellent and the new manager seems eager to please.More infoWaldo's RistorantePrice: Expensive• Italian• Palm Desert•4.5

My daughter loves Italian and asked if we can find a place before we left. This food is amazing ! The 3 servers we had were the best so personable . I will make sure we come back and eat every single time we come to Indio. 5 stars from me!More infoCastelli'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Palm Desert•4.8
- JjonathanvipPortland / Oregon •194 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis 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.More infoRistorante Mamma GinaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Palm Desert•4.7

- DDianneSan Francisco Bay Area •12 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoOur evening at Mimmo’s was fantastic. It was a reunion/celebration, and our waitress could not have been nicer. When we sat down, she took our drink orders. After we were settled, she told us the list of specials( which there were many) and left us to visit. She would occasionally check on us. At one point she asked if we would like appetizers or something else, and we opted for bruschetta and shrimp cocktails (which were one of the specials). We were served and again, left to visit and enjoy our evening. After a while, she returned and asked if we would like something for dinner. We all had some variety of pasta and it was delicious. Finally, after a delicious dinner , dessert was offered. I had “homemade limoncello!” Fantastic! We will definitely return to Mimmo’s. Our waitress (and unfortunately I don’t remember her name) was the best. Very accommodating and was available and helpful. She definitely added to our dining experience.More infoMimmo's Italian RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Palm Desert•4.7
