Menu
Food was a bit bland. Had pizza, pasta dishes, a salad and deserts. Italian custard too gelatinous. Service was good.
Some of the best Italian food, not just in Palm Springs, but anywhere!
I love this restaurant, their food, wine, service!
Wonderful as useful
Great place for a nice dinner out. Great food and service. The patio had fun art surrounding the patio.
Excellent service, fabulous food - delicious and fresh - beautiful ambiance. Will return again very soon.
Been here twice now. Ambience and service is excellent. Food is ok.
Outdoor dining at its best! Lovely patio with heat lamps and a fireplace, tables spaced appropriately for safety. Servers are attentive. Prices are a little steep for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, very pleased. Will definitely go there again.
Relaxing and enjoyable seating area with good views
An excellent meal was had here. It was our third visit to Il Corso.
Everything was really great, just would not consider it a value but well worth the price for a "nice" dinner or special occasion place depending on budget. I do wish they'd do better at keeping screaming children silenced but this is life.
Food, wine selection, and atmosphere were fantastic. Booked a table for 6 here over the Valentines weekend and we were all very satisfied.
The pasta and sauces were exceptional, the wine and drink selection was great, and the outdoor atmosphere was still cozy and upscale.
The service left a bit to be desired (food was quick and fresh which was great, but had to ask for utensils again after plates were cleared, and we received 3 pieces of bread for a table of 5), but it didn't have an overall impact on the evening - and we are forgiving during COVID restrictions.
Will definitely be back.
Came to celebrate Valentine's Day and two people in party ordered the lamb. When the food came, the potatoes were cold. After giving to server, he returned with even colder potatoes. When told he said, "they just came out of the pot". Obviously the pot wasn't heating then. He did not take them, offer to fix them, or remove them from the bill. During pandemic, we try to tip nicely but this was one time I only left 10%. Had such high hopes. Disappointed.
Always great food....and great service. Well-spaced tables in a huge patio.
Our Valentine’s Day dinner was magnificent! Food was delicious. Our waiter took care of us that day.
A great Valentine’s Day for my husband and me. Everything was perfect. Outdoors, great weather, delicious food and drink. Highly recommended.
Great service, away from the crowd in Palm Springs and outdoor set its perfect
Had a reservation. Showed up and was told, off-handedly, that they were closed due to weather (wind), but we were not given the option for outdoor dining in the reservation (so WTF?), then she spun on her heel and marched away. Sorry, but the staff earned the lowest possible rating. Superior attitude and dismissive snottiness. Will NEVER go back and NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BUT A TERRIBLE RATING. We went to LG Steakhouse instead and their staff was warm and inviting.
F*!k Il Corso!!
Il Corso restaurant staff would like to express our most sincere apologies for all the inconveniences created by the extreme weather conditions experienced on February 13th, 2021. The safety of our guests and employees is of utmost importance and priority, and always will be above any financial gain or absurd personal desires of certain individuals.
The meal was memorable because of the wind and great food
Great place! Great service and very good flavor!
The best Italian Food in Palm Springs! The best servers!!
Great food, wonderful service, nice ambiance, and lovely outdoor dining area.
Having lived in Italy, I was extremely impressed by the quality and creativity of this Italian food.
First time out of lockdown! Great server and amazing food!!
Worth the price!
I flew in from out of town. The day before I called restaurants to see who had inside or outside dinning. They told me on the phone they were doing fine in. I spent $50+ on Lyft to get there from hotel I was staying at and when we got there they told us they were not doing dine in. I showed them on my phone log where I called and made the reservation on Open Table after that. It cost another $70 on Lyft to get to another restaurant to eat dine in.
The whole State of California is under Stay-Home order restrictions since December, 6th, 2020, we have following such protocols according to our city guidelines. There is not absolute way someone should have taken reservations in our restaurant. Guest's version completely inaccurate.
We did our last outdoor dining before the lockdown here. It was lovely, as always. Can't wait to get back when things open up.
Great food and great service in a lovely setting
Great food, atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff.
Great panda cotta! Lots of gluten free homemade options! Loved the salmon and lamb chops with mashed potatoes and spinach. Great wine and lovely staff💙💙
Service was excellent and all of the staff were super friendly! The food was great and the outdoor patio seating was perfect. They even let us bring our chihuahua on the patio and brought her a bowl of water.
Great Italian restaurant in Palm Springs. Trendy setting with comfortable outdoor dining on a plaza, due to COVID. Carpaccio starter was delicious. Fileto was cooked to a tee, steakhouse quality. Decent bottle of Chianti to go along with the meal and an Affogato to finish it off. Wine bottle prices 3X retail but I guess that's par for the course.
Service was excellent. Pleasant outside seating area. They are making the best of a bad situation
Having worked in the restaurant industry in the past, I was hoping for better service. Started with a salad that had Albacore tuna which was not great. The classic lasagna was very bland and tasteless. The salmon was prepared very raw and had to be sent back. There was no sense of urgency to bring out a new plate so we cancelled it. Overall not the best first impression and most likely won’t be visiting again.
Anniversary dinner was just perfect. Excellent space between tables and all servers observed safe rules. The upper patio is very pleasant!
I enjoyed it.
Bread basket: dried up bread semi warm
Beet salad: beets raw and very hard
Wine: big glass and more than usual quantity
Pizza good
Most things about I’ll CORSO we’re good. Venue, setting, service and three out of four liked their food. My lasagna was over cooked, heavily sauced and cheesed. I would go back for a second chance.
This lovely place was recommended by a friend and it didn't disappoint. Due to Covid outdoor restrictions we were seated on the patio on a chilly night, but the heaters were going and it was pleasant. The octopus appetizer was excellent, the burata tomato salad very good and the tagliatelle pasta with pancetta, peas and a creamy vodka pink sauce satisfying. They were out of tiramisu but we enjoyed the Panna Cotta as a second choice. The service was excellent. Friendly and professional. Nice wine list options. Would definitely go back.
It was fabulous!
Wonderful service. Pastas delish. Fell in love with the chocolate torte! Light as a cloud
