When it comes to food, Puglia is celebrated for its simple yet delicious cuisine. It is known for its excellent olive oil production,
with many olive groves dotting the landscape.

At Palmina we make everything from scratch every morning following our tradicional recipes, to give you the opportunity to explore the real italian experience.

The region's cuisine features abundant fresh seafood, often prepared in traditional Mediterranean styles. Puglia is also famous for its bread, including the iconic Altamura bread, and its pasta varieties and dishes like Braciola. Other culinary highlights include local cheeses, vegetables, and wines, such as the robust red wines made from the Primitivo grape.

    Great spot in Palm Springs. Food is very good - chef was on Food Network! Wine list a little pricey but $10 for a glass of house cab was a great compromise. Would definitely go back again.

    Palmina by Puglia is an excellent example of great Italian cuisine served in a warm, casual environment. Antonello and his team are the perfect hosts, and the "prix fixe" dinner is a great way to sample their extensive menu of pastas and pizzas, and some great salads. My wife and I enjoyed a great pizza and delicious ravioli.. The wood-fired pizza is typical of Italy, with a thin curst, excellent toppings with just the right spice. The crust is delicious, too! I recommend this as a great stop in Palm Springs when you're dreaming of Italy!

    We enjoyed our evening at Palmina by Puglia. The ambience was nice, the food was delicious, but be careful when you order… many items on the menu  have an up charge…., Just double check as it can be confusing..$$

    I love Palmina! Good food, good service, lovely and intimate seating. Italian menu prepared authentically and good choices of wine. There's a full bar with an attentive bartender and a good selection of wine. Nico and Jackie, our servers, were especially pleasant and made us feel like home.
