Made reservations but upon arrival were told oh, sometimes we don’t document those. Understanding 9 people can’t just walk in anywhere decided to wait. After sitting at the table took 14min to get a beer. Order applies which were fine. Ordered pizza which was still raw dough. Also included a dark black hair. Do not recommend.

Arrived there at around 6p. It was full were sitted rather promptly in a two chair table with absolutely no elbow space. And very close to the table next to us. Service was excellent. The pear and gorganzola pizza was amazing. The pork ozobucco in the other hand was very disappointing. Yes the meat was tender but the combination with the noodles and can tomatoes was very tasteless. And we also order the jumbo shrimp scampi. The shrimps were over cook and the sauce was very sour you can tell that they didn't let the white wine simmer and tartness gave it that sour flavor. It was our first time there definitely our last.

Absolutely fabulous food! We were in Palm Desert for 4 nights and we ate at this place twice! Great family atmosphere and ambiance! Loved the Frank Sinatra/ Dean Martin music which was at an appropriate volume so we could still have a conversation at the table without having to shout! Great service too- really a lovely place to have dinner! Highly recommend!

Amazing crispy juicy wings! I love how they put the sauce on the side. Delicious! Pizza was also great! Cute little restaurant. They give you bread with garlic and butter in the beginning which is super yummy!

Arrived at 5:30. 10 seats available in the dining room but we're only 2 so we're made to wait 20 minutes for a 2 top. In the mean time no one sits in the other seats. Hosted insists she is just doing her job. The ownership instructs her to seat this way. I haven't gotten my food as of yet so nothing about that.

Great pizza if you like it thick and loaded. Tried the Papa Dan's special again! One of the best pizzas around the desert. Indoor and outdoor seating.

We decided to split lasagna and had very garlicky oil based dip for our bread. That was good! We tried goat cheese/artichoke appetizer and it was rather good. It could have more texture rather than finely blended. Meatballs was a good filler after we split. This was a busy place so good business!

Delicious goodness wrapped up in a comfortable and friendly environment. A local favorite, family friendly. Great house wine 🍷. Only thing is, I don’t recommend ordering a salad at the end of the day, it’s probably not going to be the freshest. Great garlic bread, little DIY project, make your own dang garlic bread Papa Dan says and I like it.
