My family lives in Orange County, but everytime we go to the desert to visit my parents. We always make a point to stop by to have the best Italian food in town. This trip my wife and I had dinner there on a Thursday and went back on Friday, the food was amazing both nights and Alejandra our waitress was on point both nights. The staff was amazing and it felt like they all were working our table. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all the people who visit the desert on their vacation. Just keep in mind they closed for a few weeks in the summer, so call ahead to make sure there open.

We had dinner here and loved everything about it. Pasta is homemade and tastes very fresh. Entree sizes are very generous. I suggest making reservations, as it fills up.

The portions are plenty, and the flavor of any dish is never disappointing. I've tried many different specials. It's cozy and I love my homemade carrot cupcakes at the end of my meal!

Tucked away in a strip center next to a new Cowboy bar lies a pleasant Italian culinary oasis. This little gem provides deliciousness with great pasta, sauces, and a large menu to choose your favorites. We dined on a veal special and I had the fusilli with sausage. Our guests enjoyed the same veal special and a shrimp pasta dish with truffles. They raved about their dishes too. We can’t wait to return and try the rest of the menu. I think we just found our new go to spot. The service was outstanding too.

My family dined last night at your restaurant. Once again it was delicious. I always have the fettuccine….my brother in law always has the veal and my sister has the chicken. Everything was so very good! Also our server was outstanding! I always say this is my favorite restaurant in the desert!

I had a great time at Le Donne Cucina! We started off with calamari and it was really good. It was cooked perfectly. They also brought out bread and it was nice, hot, and fresh!Besides that, my main was the bolognese pasta. It was ok but nothing special. I feel like it was too salty but I wasn’t a huge fan of it. I would’ve preferred a red base instead of just the meat.Overall - had a great experience and would love to come back!

This was our first time here. It was a little crowded for a Wednesday night, but they seated us right away. I imagine it would be worse on the weekend and you would probably need reservations. Food was delicious. My wife got some linguine with sausage and peppers and loved it. It got the spaghetti with tomatoes, basil, and lots of garlic. Very tasty. It's a little pricey, but probably par for the course in this area.
