    This was my first dinner at the restaurant after hearing about it for years when visiting Palm Springs. Usually, I can’t get a reservation, but I did book an advance this time. The food lives up to its reputation with delicious and substantial portions(roasted chicken and branzino). The wine list is great with some inexpensive Italian by the glass. The greeters and waiters were very professional and friendly. I plan to be back every time I come to Palm Springs.

    Our dining experience at Mama Gina’s was wonderful. The service was spectacular, the food was delicious and the ambiance was wonderful. It was our first time dining in the main dining room and definitely will not be our last! Very fine dining experience!!!

    The food and the service were wonderful. The restaurant however, should have a dress code. No tee shirts, short/ shorts and no jeans.

    Cesar, our waiter, was fantastic. The food was wonderful! There were four of us, three had pasta and I had the filet mignon. My steak was terrific, served with spinach and these extraordinary fried potatoes. Delicious! Everyone said their pasta dish was cooked properly and and very tasty. I would definitely come back and want to try the pasta next visit!

    White table cloth, traditional, Italian food, attentive and professional service with Sinatra music playing in the background couldn’t ask for more. We love this place.

    This was at least our fourth time dining at Ristorante Mamma Gina’s. The hospitality, service, food and atmosphere were terrific yesterday (11/14/24). We enjoyed the Mediterranean Salmon, the Linguine with Seafood, and the Carbonara - all excellent.

    Friendly greeting like an old friend. Makes you feel welcomed. Wait staff is personable and professional. You are well looked after from recommended dishes to drink choices. Entrees were tasty and well plated. Desert was fresh and impressive.

    Mama Gina’s never disappoints me. Went with an old favorite, Bolognese sauce over pappardelle and it was great.
