L'olivo Palm Springs, Ca

Lasagna was not freshly made and was frozen in the center when brought to the table. Was not happy but the service was good.

We each enjoyed a glass of red wine— I had the Chianti and my wife chose the Zinfandel. Both wines were enjoyable, though the large, thick-stemmed glasses didn't provide the refined experience typically associated with fine wine glasses. We began our meal with a walnut arugula salad that featured a nice light dressing, although it was a bit on the salty side and had an abundance of blue cheese. I was excited to see whole wheat pasta on the menu, which is a rarity, but unfortunately, they were out of it during our visit. Instead, I opted for the vegetarian pasta served on angel hair, which came with a light olive oil sauce and a good variety of vegetables. My wife ordered meatballs with linguini and was also very satisfied with her choice. The desserts were perhaps the highlight of our meal. I had the tiramisu, and I've tried many versions before, but theirs was light, flavorful, and had a wonderful coffee essence. The standout for me was the caramel gelato, which had an intense caramel flavor and a wonderfully dense texture, quite unlike the typical gelato experience.

Lovely Waitress, very nice. Food was excellent ? though a bit expensive. My whole family enjoyed their meals. We will come again ?

I ordered the vodka rose fettuccine, bruschetta, and scampi ravioli. Both the wine and food were reasonably priced, with the exception of the ravioli. Unfortunately, my dish only came with about seven ravioli, which felt a bit scarce given the $24 price. They were delicious, and the sauce was great, but it would have been nice to have a few more ravioli for that cost.

One of the less crowded restaurants on Palm Canyon, but nothing wrong here. Attentive service, good food, great atmosphere. Little pricey, but who isn't these days.
