Great food!! My husband and I got a gift card for our retirement it was our first time at Mama Gina's everything was delicious!!!

This is our new favorite restaurant in Palm Desert! The food is delicious and the service is great!

An obvious classic, despite the drive from Palm Springs, we found it worth it. The service is impeccable, and not from a single person but every face you see, looks to help or assist. The menu is an embarrassment of riches, it was difficult to settle on a single item. My Shrimp Fra Diablo was perfect, and generous with crustaceans. While tasty the Mamma Gina chopped salad was good but not really worth the coin, no cheese or meats but I did get a generous helping of anchovies. Love to return for other delectable dishes!

The food at Mamma Gina's is great! I personally love their carbonara pasta and their delicious focaccia bread! The service is quick and the people are friendly. The ambiance is nice, the has a bar inside and outdoor seating. I would definitely recommend coming here if you are in town!!

Service is always good. Food is always good and the ambience is very nice. We've been customers there for a very long time and their private room is lovely for parties which we have had there.

I don't expect much out in the middle of nowhere in the desert. Wow did this place change my mind. Let's get into it. Upon walking in we had reservations already. The table they gave us was a good spot. I chose the special for the night. Halibut over a light white wine butter sauce. With green beans and mash potatoes. Halibut was seasoned lightly with salt, pepper and capers. Yes I said seasoned with capers lol. The halibut was delicious, highly recommend. The mash potatoes were meh. And it was about to deduct a star for that. However I'll explain why not. Green beans perfect. With just the right amount of butter. Oh and I got the bruschetta. Tomatoes and basil very fresh. Light olive oil. Bread with the bruschetta was extremely over toasted. Was about to send it back. But was focused on the halibut too much. Restaurant was very clean. Staff was EXCELLENT. From the front, to the manager and the server. Not a single problem. So would I recommend this place? Most definitely. If you want some good Italian food in this area definitely check it out. Staff: excellent Decor: modern Cleanliness: very clean Food: above average Bathroom: clean Only reason for the 4 was because of the bruschetta. When I return this may change to a 5 when I ask for the bread to be less toasted. Enjoy!

I love this place so much, went here on spring break recently and oh my gosh, amazing as always. I forced my whole family to come back here when it was an hour drive and it was worth it. Staff is so nice, the atmosphere was a cute little Italian vibe with old people (love that) and the bathroom sink is so pretty. The food was the best of course, I really enjoyed the seafood linguini (highly recommend) and the clams were so good I drink the leftover juice as a soup. I give this place 5 stars because it was a clean, amazing, great ETC, and I hope I could Get a discount . Next time I'm in Cali it's a must.

Thank you Jose for excellent service. We were happy to try "happy hour Menu all day." Great food. Salmon for us. Chicken parm. Great spinach. Great pricing for excellent food at price point. Buzzing on a Tuesday night in mid January. Guess this formula works for many!
