Reviews for il Corso in Palm Springs, CA
The food was good, but not great. We had a reservation but were seated at a high top table for two that barely had room for our... food and drinks. I found myself wanting to hurry the experience along. Read more
A pleasant surprise. Had dined here in May, and it was very disappointing. Went back with a friend on Tuesday and food,... mushroom/sausage risotto + ciopinno was excellent + service was lovely. Going back. Read more
Food is excellent, staff are nice but need training. The hostess is so not needed at all (borderline rude) and lowered the... rating. Training the super nice waiters when to bring a bill and expect payment (after the meal is complete) will build theexperience and match the quality of the food. The calamari needs a lift..a lemon pepper, roasted pepper and dried caper twistor something adds the pro edge to take it beyond bar food. Overall lovely decor and food. Read more
I had a nice food day today. Despite the heat in Palm Springs, it was nice to eat outside at this restaurant because it had... overhead fans. They originally sat us close to the edge of the outdoor area (if they place you there and it is hot, the fanscannot be felt to try to sit closer to the middle) but they were accommodating and relocated us to a cooler spot. Location andSetting: This is central to downtown Palm Springs region so you can walk up and down the street for other locations forshopping, dining, or coffee. It's a cute place that feels millennial upscale (so kinda business casual) with exposed beams,lanterns, and string lights outside. Service: The service staff was very nice and addressed us and our needs quickly. It seemedto take a little time to set up our reserved table but it was quick and they were not over loaded with people so it wasn't muchof a wait. We were asked multiple times if we were satisfied and they made sure everyone in the area's needs were addressedwithout overlooking another table Food: The food was fantastic! I had the Risotto Pescatore which was delicious! The only thingI have a tiny complaint with was that I had one piece of sand that I bit into. It's always difficult with to get rid of everysingle piece with muscles so I forgive one or two pieces if the rest of the dish is great. It was a nice birthday meal. I wouldrecommend. Read more
So we made a reservation here for our 37th aniversary through open table. At the time of the reservation I indicated that we... were celebrating our aniversary. We sat outdoors on the patio which was delightful and I would highly recommend. This was ona Sunday at 7pm. The patio was filled and very busy. I'm giving all of this background in order to give our server Juan T. abreak. I felt that we were ignored and rushed. The rest of the staff bringing the water, bread, food etc were delightful butJuan didn't smile and was not friendly at all. He approached us asking for us to order and I asked if there werespecials...sure enough there were...if I hadn't asked, I wouldn't have known. When they brought the entrée, he was no whereto be seen...and I wasn't able to ask for Parmigiano that he was offering the tables around us. He brought the check not evenasking if we wanted dessert. And finally, there was absolutely no acknowledgment that it was our aniversary. I'm not asking orexpecting free 'stuff' but a simple happy aniversary would have been appreciated. Juan's lack of attention and service reflectedpoorly on the restaurant. Now all of that being said, the food was excellent. We shared the carpacio. My husband had thefilet mignon with green peppercorn sauce...excellent! I had the risotto pescadora..also very tasty. We will go back to give itanother try... Read more
Ambience was amazing. Really liked the decor and music. Also, great wine and liquor selection. Food sounded amazing on the menu.... However, it wasn't too impressive for the price or in general. We ordered the fried calamari that was recommended. Pretty basic,nothing special. For entrees, we had Veal Marsala and the Chicken Parmigiano special. The food looked tasty but it was veryflavorless, just pain bland. We added some salt which helped a little but we have had way better Italian food in other places.Would not go back there, especially, for how expensive it was. Paid approx. $170 for 2 glasses of wine, 1 cocktail, 1 appetizerand 2 entrees. SORRY! BTW- staff was amazing and very polite and helpful. Would come back for them!???? and we did leave a nice22% tip because of that. Read more

Nice service and very tasty food. The salmon was delicious with the spinach and julienned carrots and zucchini. The tiramisu was... light and not too sweet. Read more
