    Wow. What a crazy disappointment. This was not a crowded night. Only 5 tables filled. Asked for a Manhattan and was asked if I wanted it w ice. I’ve never had one w ice. Then served w a marichino cherry. Very low class. A high end place should know its w brandied cherry like Luxardo Worse still was the gelato desert. I asked if they could mix the three flavors. They said “no”. I’ve been to plenty of Italian restaurants where they have multiple flavors and you’re given three scoops of the flavors of one’s choice. Again. Not a busy night at all. They could have accommodated a very simple desert request. No explanation given. This restaurant came highly rated and the entrees were good but these odd things about the dessert and cocktail were poor customer service

    Other than the fact we waited 10 mins to be greeted once we got sat, it was a really good experience

    Great meal at Il Corso. We enjoyed everything from cocktails to desert. Appreciated the great bottle of wine suggested by our attentive and friendly server. Atmosphere was lovely, if a bit noisy. Recommended.

    Our go to place for pizza and cocktails in Palm Springs. We like sitting at the bar and watching Omar the expert mixologist - fascinating. The pizza is the best in Palm Springs. The pasta is outstanding. One can't go wrong at Il Corso

    So looking forard to this place. Requested patio. Very hot day and not serving on patio- no misters. Would have been nice to have received a text about this. Wine pricing strange. Thought it was a price and instead it was a page number. My husband ordered Tagliate Di Manza. He gave me a taste when he revived his meal and I almost upchucked from the gristle. He couldn't make a dent in his. Never again.

    Our server Giovanni was terrific! He was knowledgeable and attentive and took care of my friend's birthday dessert. We are locals and we will return again and again. It's a great spot.

    IL Corso was a perfect ending to our vacation in the Palm Springs area. Just need a dose of Italian food. Searched on Open Table and we made the right choice. Good service, a nice wine list and a well prepared meal. We highly recommend IL Corso.
