Our group of four went here for the first time this past Sunday evening and all of us loved it. Very old-school Palm Springs vibe, with excellent service from fun, thoroughly professional staff. The food was exceptional as were the deserts - most made in-house. Good wine selection and well-made cocktails. If it weren't perfect enough, a lovely lady called Angie Whitney played soft jazz with a light touch on keyboards and a lovely, gentle voice. Cipolline is obviously run by professional restaurateurs who carefully hire great staff who make patrons feel welcomed and appreciated. GO!

Excellent, friendly and fun dining experience. Waiter had some dry funny humor, food was authentic Italian and yummy— live rat pack music made the night for our friends Birthday. Along with the birthday cannoli and portable revolving light. Highly recommend for an old school Palm Springs Friday night.

Really great experience dining here last evening for the first time! Great service and fantastic Italian cuisine! The mushroom ravioli was one of the best stuffed pastas I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back!

The lasagna was absolutely phenomenal, paired perfectly with their exquisite Mezcal Negroni. And let's talk about dessert—the cheesecake was divine! Not to mention, their bread was simply unforgettable. Every bite was a delight!
