The service was very good. The food was iffy. The special ravioli special was good but over priced fir the size of the dish. The chicken parm was tough and dry and not very flavorful. They did Como it when they saw that I left 3/4 if the plate. The foccia and the mixed drink were very good.

This restaurant was a favorite of ours until last night. We arrived for our reservation with our well-behaved medium sized dog expecting to be seated outdoors. We were also celebrating a BD at 7:30 on a Sat night. The hostess informed us that there was a “new rule”. No pets, even outdoors. She was cold and unpleasant and clearly uninterested in helping us work out a solution. I asked to speak to the manager who allowed for a 1-time exception and seated us. This is the only nice restaurant in Palm Springs who will NOT seat you outdoors with your pet. Be aware.

Been here before and all was good. This time service was not great because our waiter was not friendly at all even before we had to send back one entrée. The appetizers were delicious. Main entrée of filet mignon was not good. One had to be sent back because it was overcooked. Also the cocktails were very weak or they watered down the vodka. We’re not sure what happened to this restaurant.

I was somewhat disappointed with our visit to Il Corso. We were entertaining 2 couples from out of town and having been to the Palm Desert Il Corso, I assumed things would be close to the same. The place, drinks and food were excellent. The server, however cordial, was either needing training, or was just plain swamped. Wine was only poured for the tasting of the purchaser and the bottle set on the table for us to pour our own. The amount of time between courses was long and getting our checks took longer. Noise level is high. It's all probably due to Covid and staff problems but it will be awhile before we return. I would still recommend but with qualifications.

On a very busy Saturday evening we found service a bit lacking; it had been stellar in the past. The pasta dish was very good. The main salad was not to my liking but at least some was consumed. It was Mediterranean but the dressing was not good and all they had otherwise was Balsamic vinegar. Wine list was not as comprehensive as I recalled. In any event we still would recommend this restaurant and will most likely give it another go when next in the area.

The food is solid Italian and a cut above others in Palm Springs. Service was excellent and responsive. The outdoor space is modern, comfortable and quiet since it’s tucked back from the street. And the chicken parm special was really delicious with more than enough to take home.
