We had a wonderful authentic Italian meal. The service was the best and the atmosphere was beautiful on the covered patio. It was our 39th wedding anniversary and they presented us with a beautiful Happy Anniversary plate with ice cream for dessert. Just a beautiful evening.

Another outstanding dinner at Riccio’s! It was wonderful to see our favorite host, Danny, and our waitress, Jamie. As always, the welcome is genuine, and the atmosphere makes us feel right at home. Jamie and the entire service team provided excellent service throughout the evening. We started with a delicious wedge salad and lightly fried calamari. I ordered my usual cannelloni, while my wife enjoyed the rack of lamb. Both were simply outstanding! We paired dinner with a nice Cabernet Sauvignon and finished the evening with lemon sorbet for dessert. From the wonderful flavors to the beautiful presentation, everything was right on point. Great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere are what keep bringing us back. We absolutely love this place and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Just moved to PS from Chicago about a month ago. First time here and since it’s summer the restaurant was nearly empty. We ordered the rigatoni bolognese and a margarita pizza these are the two dishes that determine whether we will return. The Bolognese was one of the best I’ve had anywhere and the pizza was very good. Will definitely be back.

    When we visit Palm Springs, a visit to Birba is always a must do. We love the beautiful ambiance of the outdoor seating amidst the trees and warmly lit lanterns. The food is always delicious and the service is unmatched. It's a highlight of every trip.
