Lardo
2024 May 04
Originally tried to go to Eggslut, but didn't want to wait until my next birthday, so we walked towards Lardo to see if we could grab a pork belly breakfast sandwich as it sounded amazing. We happened to run into Comedian Joe Gatto formerly of the Impractical Jokers right before we got in line, so that was awesome! Got in line, staff was helpful and polite and ordered the food. The sandwich was rich, salty and gooey from the runny eggs. It was very well balanced, although a little salty and tangy. We just wanted a quick and tasty breakfast sandwich and that's exactly what we got. Can't wait to try out their non-breakfast offerings!
Bucatini PALM DESERT

Absolutely delicious Italian food. My wife and I found this place while in town for a concert and gave it a try. It was a stifling 116 degrees and as we poured our way through the door looking for relief from the heat. The place is tucked away in a corner of nice little shopping center. The staff is friendly and the place is cleananf kempt (minus a fidgety front door 😆) with an Italian/sports bar feel. It presents itself as an Italian place without all the stuffiness one might expect from a "high-end" place. The menu was pretty big with what seemed like a lot of authentic Italian dishes. I settled for the homemade beef short rib ravioli and my wife got the tried and true chicken parmesan while starting with some garlic flatbread. I'll be honest, I was concerned because sometimes when local restaurants claim everything is homemade, it can be difficult to live up to that promise, especially when the place isn't super busy, which this place wasnt, on a Friday night at 5 pm. The flatbread came out and within just a few minutes it was gone. Remarkably flaky dough, thin and crispy but soft with just the right touch of garlic and butter. It was absolutely delicious and it makes me regret not getting a pizza if that's similar to how the crust is. My ravioli was fresh, had amazing flavor and perfectly cooked vegetables. My wife's chicken parmesan was exactly the same. The food was so good! Great flavors with an obvious nod to being homemade and authentic as they didn't taste as one-dimensional like typical american-italian places we are used to. We aren't in this area often, but will for sure go back just to deep dive into that menu. If your in the area, you need to give this place a go, the food is fantastic!

Solid food and fresh burgers with enough going for them to make them stand out. The road kill fries are an absolute delicious mess and the burger patties themselves stand above most. Being in a food hall with so many other amazing choices, the burgers would typically not be something try first, but I'm glad I did.

Nice and clean little park. Plenty of picnic tables and places to sit and watch the kids play. Playground and swings are nice and clean. The place wasn't too busy when we were there besides a few families and a handful of young adults playing basketball. The park is nice and not too far from where we live. We had a good time and plan and going back.
