When it comes to food, Puglia is celebrated for its simple yet delicious cuisine. It is known for its excellent olive oil production,
with many olive groves dotting the landscape.

At Palmina we make everything from scratch every morning following our tradicional recipes, to give you the opportunity to explore the real italian experience.

The region's cuisine features abundant fresh seafood, often prepared in traditional Mediterranean styles. Puglia is also famous for its bread, including the iconic Altamura bread, and its pasta varieties and dishes like Braciola. Other culinary highlights include local cheeses, vegetables, and wines, such as the robust red wines made from the Primitivo grape.

    The dining room had two large groups. We sat at the bar. The entire focus of the bartenders and servers was on the dining room. Remember I said we sat at the bar? It was 30 minutes in before we were asked if we wanted a drink. The pizza was okay. Definitely not a repeat.

    A little overpriced for the experience. 2 pizza's, 2 appetizer's, 3 glasses and a standard 10% service fee our bill came to $173.00 with added tip. I would return for takeout but there are nicer restaurant options in Palm Springs for this price range.

    Loved the food and the service and will never go back. They add a 10% service charge and that is deplorable. I’m sure it is on the menu somewhere… but. 10% forget about it. You lost me forever. The food for the prix fixe price was good. No way it is worth the regular menu price The arugula salad was a delight and the procuttio was tasty. I travel to Italy a lot and the pizza was about as “Italy-like” as it gets. The bolognese was also very good. Server was nice and had some thoughtful suggestions. All in all a very nice experience. Until. I get the bill. For heavens sake… just tell me the real prices. We would have been happy. The surprise fee at the end of the meal tainted our experience and we felt ripped off.
