L'olivo Italian Bistro - Palm Springs

The ambiente was beautiful, eating didn't taste like authentic italian, it was almost like generic dishes lacking in taste and quality, very simple eating. bummer because the location is great. hopefully it will improve.

I must say that this is my 2nd favorite Italian restaurant in the palm springs area and that says a lot. of the linguini their basic with meatballs and their meatballs are light and tasteful to their lasagna, which was the best I had everywhere. their seafood is always fresh and this is not easy to be in the desert. Anyway, this place is a jewel.

Cute little restaurant. 4 of us dined inside, table cloth and ambiance was nicer than expected. Too small for a boisterous evening, though patio would better lend itself to festivity. Excellent service, tasty menu, reasonable priced, especially on limited but decent wine offerings. Exceptional desserts! Calimari apt was also a star. Would recommend for an intimate couple(s) evening. Not over the top expensive for a nice, quiet, relaxing meal.

A pleasant surprise. The food was very good and so was the service. If you’re in the mood for Italian food, I highly recommend L’Olivo.

Well.. this place was fine. Nothing too special, I had risotto, my husband had the special which was basically cioppino with white wine sauce. The complaint about that, he didn 't finish it, we took it back up our hotel room and THEY PUT the LIQUID in a normal container! SO IT SPILLED everywhere.. fish smell.. all over the place.. come on guys first time packing to gos? The risotto was good, not great, and we had $8.00.. yes 8!!! For one scoop of spumoni gelato oh... and they don 't have decaf coffee, I 've never in my life been yo a restaurant that didn 't have decaf but.. first time for everything. So all in all $88.00 plus tip for 4 pieces of shrimp and 1 2 a pasta dish that had to be thrown out. : Pros: quiet place we were literally the only customers. They have gluten free options I told our server I was gluten free... every single thing he suggested wasn 't gluten free. That 's ok it 's my allergy not his. One free glass of proseco when you check in on yelp. Cons: for the price eh.. not sure it was worth it.. 32 for the special and because it leaked everywhere we had to throw it out. Food was nothing special and 25... for 4 pieces of shrimp.. : come on now. Oh well Happy baby moon to us
