    First time here, although I only got takeout. There's indoor seating and restrooms. I got their prosciutto pizza 10/10, I'd order again and if I'm in the area I'd come and eat here. Looks like they have a bar as well and the service was excellent!

    Bucatini is a long time favorite of mine when in the desert. A bit out of the way is why we don't frequent this location as much as we like to but when we do make it, it's a treat. The location itself is nice, spacious outdoor seating and cozy but big inside. They have a proper bar but we like sitting at the booths near the windows. Their outdoor patio is perfect during those cooler months. Staff are nice and friendly here. I appreciate that they get you in and out here but also don't make you feel rushed. The food comes out at a good pace and everything tasted fresh and delicious. Bucatini has one of my favorite sangrias in the desert! I love this sangria, it's strong and the right amount of sweetness. Always my go to drink here. Normally I opt for their pasta specials and they always seem to hit. I had one of their ravioli specials with a creamy pink sauce and sausage, it was absolutely delicious. My mom's a big fan of their pizza, it's cheesy and a solid option for those pizza lovers in your life. The food here is delicious. Overall this is a great spot if you're craving a more lively Italian restaurant with friendly staff and a large menu.

    Nice little place. It wasn't too busy on a friday night. We were seated right way. We ordered pizza and pesto pasta and a vegetarian cesear salad. The portions was definitely huge. Loved the salad that was my favorite. Pasta was okay it was fresh but lacked flavor. Pizza was good as well. Drinks were okay. They gave out some bread basket that I didnt like it was slice bread toasted in a fancy way. The service was slow. I think there was only one waiter going around. It took forever for the drinks to come or it could have been the bartender. Overall its an okay place, large portion of food.

    Chicken Marsala with pasta and cream sauce yummy

    I don't know why they get bad reviews. We had great service and great food can't complain about anything. We especially love the salad and the pizza and the eggplant parm wasn't bad either the price is good too.

    Food was great! We had the lobster ravioli and the burrata flatbread ... amazing! Drinks were great, the Italian Margarita was absolutely delicious This place was great, we were there before heading to a concert, service was perfect, the ambiance was good. Recommend!

    The meatball appetizer was good. The bf had the arugula avocado salad that he liked, it just needed the balsamic and oil that was served with the complimentary bread. I thought the bread needed to be toasted a bit more. I got the spicy pepperoni pizza. It was ok. I'm waiting on the dessert. Spumoni bomba. Spumoni ice cream with a hard chocolate shell. The service was attentive and the ambiance was lively.

    Overall, a very good experience. Dinner for four with two cocktails salads and entrées cost $240.. I had the Penny pasta with pesto and grilled chicken. It was all right, but the server told me other dishes that I was looking at were probably more popular, but I wanted to give it a try anyhow.. I think I should've listened to my server. My brother had the Bolognese his wife had a different pasta dish, and I forgot what my mom had but all three of them loved their dishes. Thought they were really good portion wise. Atmosphere was nice. I loved the doors that opened up to the outside. We sat next to it so we were halfway in and halfway out. It was a nice nice evening restaurant was packed over the tennis tournament.. overall good food, but be prepared if you want to have salads, entrées, and cocktails because you'll be surprised how much money you can spend.

    Stopped in at Bucatini last night while in Palm Desert. Dina was our server and was professional, attentive, and friendly. We ordered the Bolognese Pasta entree and a vegetarian pizza. The food was quite good, as was the service. The tail end of the Super Bowl game was on as the two teams went into overtime. Great game, good food and service. The ambiance was positive and friendly. Highly recommended

    Ambiance was nice and food was beyond awful! Let's just say a frozen Piccata meal would have been a vast improvement.

    75188 US Hwy 111, Indian Wells, CA 92210 Dined: September…read more11, 2026 Price range: Entrées approximately $38-$46; cocktails generally $15-$45+ This was my first time dining at The Nest, and my first impression was very positive. It's a nice restaurant with an attached bar area that had a DJ and was very lively on a Friday night. We chose to dine in the restaurant portion, where the atmosphere was a little more conducive to dinner and the service was good. I had the Chicken Piccata ($38) and thought it was very good. It was flavorful, the serving size was fair, and I felt the price was reasonable for the quality and the restaurant. Others at our table had the Pacific Sole Piccata ($46), and there were several appetizers and salads available in the $19-$38 range. My one disappointment was the cocktail pricing. Many of the drinks start around $19 and can go all the way up to approximately $45. I had a martini that tasted fine, but it was surprisingly small for the price. At those prices, I expected a more generously sized cocktail. Other than the drinks being overpriced in my opinion, I enjoyed the experience. The food was good, the service was solid, and the lively bar and DJ give the place a fun energy if you're looking for more than just dinner. Overall, a solid four-star first visit. I enjoyed The Nest and would definitely return in the future.

    If you're looking for a fun night out in the desert, The Nest never disappoints. We had family in…read moretown and it was our first choice. We started with dinner and ended up staying for the music, dancing, and all the fun that makes The Nest such a special place. I ordered the chicken piccata and honestly, it was the best I've ever had. The service was wonderful, and even though we were seated near the piano in the bar area where it can get a little loud, that's part of what makes it such a fun atmosphere. The best part of the night was having everyone together. My niece's boyfriend was visiting from Ireland, and we laughed and danced all night. I especially loved seeing my sister-in-law out on the dance floor and having so much fun. It was one of those nights where people of all ages were dancing, laughing, and just enjoying being together. We had such a great time that they went back again the very next night. The live music was fantastic, and it was great seeing Nick on saxophone. The crowd was a fun mix, the energy was high, and the whole place just felt happy. A coworker recently went during Restaurant Week and couldn't stop talking about the steak, the generous portions, and the peanut butter pie. The Nest has been a desert favorite for years, and there's a reason. It's always nice to see Dodi there and how much pride she takes in the restaurant. Most people think of The Nest for the music and dancing, but don't miss the food. It really is that good! One tip: go early or make a dinner reservation so you don't end up waiting in line. The Nest is still one of the most fun places in the desert!
