Double Date

We live locally and were excited to try Double Date Italian Kitchen at the Omni in Rancho Mirage. The space is beautiful, with a gorgeous bar that anchors the dining room. Drinks were well made (including a fun appletini), though the $12 price for a beer felt a bit high. The arugula salad with gorgonzola, dried cherries, and prosecco vinaigrette was excellent. For dinner, the halibut was very good—slightly overcooked but still flavorful with mushrooms and artichoke hearts. The Jidori chicken and veal chop Milanese were both excellent as well. Service was great. The dining room was a bit chilly due to doors open for outdoor seating, but overall it was a very enjoyable experience. We’ll definitely be back.

The service here is truly down to a science warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive. You genuinely feel well taken care of from the moment you arrive. On our first day, Alberto went above and beyond by arranging breakfast sandwiches for us that weren’t even on the menu and beautifully packing them to go. It was such a kind and unexpected touch. Later, Cristian delivered excellent dinner service generous portions, perfectly timed check-ins, and never once making us feel rushed or forgotten. This was some of the best service I’ve ever had at any restaurant. Alberto and Cristian truly made our experience special!

Whether your staying at the resort or not, don't miss an opportunity for a dinner experience here. The Branzini is amazing, pasta dishes are fresh and tasty! Service was exceptional on multiple visits and the atmosphere in this newly remodeled and designed restaurant is outstanding.

Picture it....Valentine's evening. After 40 minutes, we were able to order the appetizer and main course (price fix menu). Another 40 minutes pass and we asked when we might get our meal. 15 more minutes pass and we were eating. Watching the folks at the other tables experiencing the same wait. The harpist that was inside and the guitar player that was outside, clashed. Don't get me wrong, the food was delicious and hot upon arrival, but never received my broccoli side dish. Edgar and Eduardo did a fabulous job and they're attitudes were good. They did the best they could! I was told that the kitchen staff had to handle food orders from a second restaurant as well, reasoning for the long wait. Fortunately, we weren't in a hurry and spent the evening chatting, but boy, others were very up

Spectacular mediterranean and italian inspired dishes. Try the grilled octopus and the flash fired califlower appetizers, no seriously theyre that good. The veal chop is literally bigger than your head, and crispy delicious. Osso Bucco with dates melts in your mouth. Branzino is a spectacle. Great wine list and wines by the glass. And leave room for the date cake and olive oil cake for dessert, you wont be sorry.
