- NNancyVIPMinneapolis - St. Paul •21 reviews4.0Dined todayChris was our server and he was absolutely wonderful -- added so much to our experience. The food was generally really good. The veal was very tender and the spinach was truly perfect. The side of mashed potatoes were uninspiring at best. This is a lovely venue for a special occasion.More infoRistorante Mamma GinaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Palm Desert•4.5
- PPhilVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •81 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoA great visit on Saturday night. Our service was very personal and attentive. Impressive with a live band going with hits from the 60's & 70's. Lots of fun for dancing and not too loud for the club. Good wine and craft beer selections. Our meals were excellent. Well cooked with a combination of wood fired Cuban flavors. We ordered the sampler special, the ahi appetizer, the Babaloo salad, & the chicken marsala. Good presentation, good flavors, and timely service. Absolutely nothing to improve. Comfortable booths and lots of space make Babaloos a regular visit spot.More infoBabaloo LoungePrice: Expensive• Gastro Pub• Palm Desert•4.3

- DDianaSeattle / Eastern Washington •29 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoCastelli’s is our favorite Italian restaurant. We have bring family and friends here for more than 30 years. The service staff is quick, professional and knowledgeable. My favorite is their veal dishes since that is a dish I do not usually prepare. My husband loved the chicken Parmesan because here we can order it not breaded. The food is always hot and delicious. Can’t say enough about the pasta dishes and always hot bread at the table. I love the nights they have live music at the bar. They offer valet service too. Highly recommend you try them.More infoCastelli'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Palm Desert•4.8
