    Very friendly. Italian dishes well made. Pork chop dish was generous in size but not very tasty disappointing overall. Crème brûlée mediocre.

    Excellent experience starting off with warm & genuine welcome from front maitre'd. Our waiter was outstanding with on-the-spot recommendations. Support staff was attentive without being intrusive. MG's will definitely be added to our rotation. All the cocktails, salads, and entrees were presented well, timely, and delicious. Can't say enough good things about our waiter

    We’ve been coming to Mamma Gina every time we are down in Palm Desert area. The quality of food has gone down. It’s sad to say it’s not as good as before.

    We have been to this restaurant multiple times. The food has been good. Last night it was terrible. 3 out of 4 us barely touched the food. It was in desperate need of seasoning. It was impossible to get our waiter’s attention as the messed up our drink order. We will not go back!!!

    I have been coming to this restaurant for over 30 years when I am in town, this time I was not as impressed nor were my guests. Risotto didn’t have a good sauce, someone’s pasta was so salty. I was so looking forward to going and I was there to celebrate my birthday and it was noted in my reservation and no one even acknowledged it. Sad And I put a private note into this review and no one even took the time to reach out. Totally off my list of restaurants!
