Bar seating and ledge-leaning is the rule of thumb -- think Paris tabac or the zinc -- the heat of local life, crowded with regulars at the counter waiting for their vin rouge. Here you'll find our Cave à Manger, an eclectic curation of wines by the glass offered with a menu of small plated savory delicacies created for this tasting smorgasbord. More than an amuse-bouche, less than a serving. Range, variety, exploration and discovery are the point...........................................RESERVATIONS ARE RECOMMENDED BUT, IF YOU DON'T SEE ANY AVAILABILITY, JUST WALK-IN FOR THE NEXT SEAT AVAILABLE.

    This is always one of my favorite places to come when in the Palm Springs area. The portions are huge-- you will not leave hungry . I recommend one of the combos-- filet mignon and shrimp, or lobster, but just filet mignon is great too because they give you a few shrimp as an appetizer anyway. I would stay away from the chicken. My husband ordered the filet mignon and chicken combo and said the chicken was tasteless even with the teriyaki sauce it was cooked in. I noticed other people who ordered chicken at our table left a lot on their plate.

    As foodies from the Boston area, I have to say that Le Donne Cucina is an EXCELLENT choice for delicious, authentic Italian food when in the Palm Desert area. The menu is extensive and varied. Almost all the various types of pasta are made handmade (and delicious) and the chef is happy to make changes in the type of sauce or pasta included with most dishes. Our waitress was delightful and very helpful with providing information on many aspects of the menu. The pace of service was good. The atmosphere is comfortable and casual. The noise level is on the loud side, but not at all offensive and just seems right. The prices are quite reasonable. Highly recommended!
