“The food at this establishment was excellent, with outstanding flavors that truly stood out. The dessert, mango ice cream, was a perfect palate cleanser. The ambiance was fantastic, and the décor added to the overall experience. Ken was an excellent server—pleasant, professional, and attentive. I will definitely be back to enjoy the exceptional service and excellent food again!”

As foodies from the Boston area, I have to say that Le Donne Cucina is an EXCELLENT choice for delicious, authentic Italian food when in the Palm Desert area. The menu is extensive and varied. Almost all the various types of pasta are made handmade (and delicious) and the chef is happy to make changes in the type of sauce or pasta included with most dishes. Our waitress was delightful and very helpful with providing information on many aspects of the menu. The pace of service was good. The atmosphere is comfortable and casual. The noise level is on the loud side, but not at all offensive and just seems right. The prices are quite reasonable. Highly recommended!
