Sammy's Place

Enjoy a wonderful evening with great food and great friends, at Sammy's Place. Italian cuisine at its finest. Generous portions at reasonable prices.

Reviewed By Scott R

Amazing service and outstanding food! Sammy welcomed us and encouraged us to fly in at least once a month. I had the lasagna and my wife had the chicken parmigiana. The misto salads were delicious. The entrees were so very good! I would absolutely fly in for a return visit!

Pizzeria Villagio

The idea of Villagio comes from a marriage between time and place; the old neighborhoods of New York City and the abundant plains of California. What California brings to the table figuratively and literally, is its abundance of fresh produce, fresh start

Reviewed By rollo_orlando

Ate here in June with former colleague. Heard rave reviews about the place from the Marriott 'concierge' and since it was close to the hotel. little risk was involved. Ordered the large New Yorker. Year ago, large meant large; now large is medium, medium is small. Nonetheless the pizza tasted good but it was not served hot! Club soda was free, thank goodness. My friend wolfed down her half and I did mine, but we left a little space for a cannoli, free for her birthday. I received the smaller portion of it (a blessing in disguise) - she doing the splitting - as the filling tasted like Elmer's glue. The pastry shell was soggy. But at least it was free and we devoured the whole thing. Bottom line: how can pizza, so cheap to make, so easy to make, bring such high prices? We won't be back given the numerous options but Villagio still merits an overall average grade.

I don't even like German food, but went as my friend loves it. I wasn't expecting much, so was blown away by the tomato basil soup followed by sole and bread pudding on the prix fixe menu. He had the Jaeger shnitzel and was super impressed as well. What a great vacation gourmet surprise!

Reviewed By kareninaz

My husband and I went to Trilussa in Cathedral City for dinner. The service was excellent, very attentive but not over bearing. The food was very tasty and nicely presented. They serve complimentary sambucca or amaretto after dinner which was a nice touch. Get there BEFORE 5:30pm if you want to take advantage of their great summer price for the set 3 course dinner. You get a salad or soup, choice between 8-10 entrees and a choice of desserts. There was a husband and wife team providing live music which was very enjoyable. The pasta carbonara was especially delicious! We would recommend this place for an enjoyable dinning experience.

Bucatini

Reviewed By Rainbo1

We were surprised to find this quality of a restaurant in the corner of a business mall. Prices were higher than anticipated but the food (with one exception) was excellent. Service was prompt, efficient, and friendly. The star item on our dining experience was the Carpaccio di Bue, large enough for two to enjoy. The stinker was Prosciutto e Melone. The melon was so tough that it couldn't be cut with a table knife. The server did acknowledge this misstep and comped 50% of the cost of this appetizer. The entrees were delicious. We would return for another dinner and try the wood-fired pizza. Dinner for two was about $90.00

Francesco's Cafe

Reviewed By WidelyTraveled59

There is zero atmosphere here, photos show tablecloths but we didn't see any, we had paper placemats on a Formica table. It took a good 15 minutes before anyone took our order and another 10 minutes before drinks appeared at the table. My meatball marina spaghetti tasted as if it came out of a jar from the supermarket. My husband's seafood alfredo was okay. Service was not friendly or welcoming from the older man who works there but the older lady was very gracious. Portions were huge and food/drink not expensive, I'd say this is what the place has going for it. If you know Persian and Italian cuisine, then you will be disappointed. I looked at the Persian menu and it seemed to be very Westernized.

Reviewed By jaybeeFL

We were a large party of 7 and they immediately rearranged tables to accommodate us. Service the first night was fast, friendly and attentive. A little slow the second night despite the place being less busy! The pies were delicious--thick moist crust, plenty of cheese, tasty marinara and the toppings were a perfect addition (Pepperoni, canadian bacon and sausage). The garden salads were huge, fresh and crispy and nicely dressed. Prices were not cheap but competitive. Obviously our return visit within days is an indicator that we liked the experience.

This restaurant is on the Westin Resort, right by the main pool. My sister and I went solely due to convenience but were thoroughly surprised/happy at how DELICIOUS everything was! Elizabeth was our waitress- and ELIZABETH IS THE BEST PERSON, LIKE, EVER!! So sweet, accommodating, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend whether you are staying at the resort or not.
