Il Corso Palm Springs

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.

Very nice place for dinner, somewhat expected Italian favorites with a few surprises from the Chef. Nice wine list, cocktails, dramatic setting. Service is good, though hard to tell who is your waiter. Still worth a visit

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 very flavorless, 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 appetizer and 2 entrees. SORRY! BTW- staff was amazing and very polite and helpful. Would come back for them! and we did leave a nice 22% tip because of that.

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 on a 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. a break. I felt that we were ignored and rushed. The rest of the staff bringing the water, bread, food etc were delightful but Juan didn 't smile and was not friendly at all. He approached us asking for us to order and I asked if there were specials...sure enough there were...if I hadn 't asked, I wouldn 't have known. When they brought the entrée, he was no where to be seen...and I wasn 't able to ask for Parmigiano that he was offering the tables around us. He brought the check not even asking if we wanted dessert. And finally, there was absolutely no acknowledgment that it was our aniversary. I 'm not asking or expecting free 'stuff ' but a simple happy aniversary would have been appreciated. Juan 's lack of attention and service reflected poorly on the restaurant. Now all of that being said, the food was excellent. We shared the carpacio. My husband had the filet mignon with green peppercorn sauce...excellent! I had the risotto pescadora..also very tasty. We will go back to give it another try...

Food service was quick. Table service sub par. Wait time for water and tea refill took forever even after asking. Food was just ok not that great, not especially tasty, was at best bland. Then included the appetizers, salad and a daily special. There were 5 in my group and nobody had a wow factor that wanted to make them come back.
