Great food… world’s best pizza! Fantastic service! They made us feel like they wanted us there and appreciated our business. My wife, kids and I were former customers of their original restaurant in Palm Springs, Palm Desert. We hated it when they left. We just learned that they opened again in Rancho Mirage, and We’re thrilled to go back and try them again. We enjoyed every minute and every bite, but we had to take some home because it was too much to eat in the portions. Eating it at lunch The following day was even better than the previous night. This one doesn’t seem to be an exception ad won’t dissapoint. I think if you try it once you’ll be hooked. I was!

Waited 15 minutes and wasn’t even acknowledged after we were seated. To top it off me and my wife were the only customers in the restaurant. Overpriced and in a horrible location, do yourself a favor and go to Bella Cucina, Nicolinos, or Mario’s for great local Italian restaurants.

Livreri’s restaurant is a pretty good restaurant. They make some dishes fresh and tasty but I have a feeling many of their dishes are frozen only because they are located in a mall that is basically empty. I cannot understand how they can remain open. The food they serve is just ok as a matter of fact I once ordered something there and they told me they were out then they said they had it it turned out yes they had it in their freezer. Yikes I like to give good reviews to everyone but when you take something out of your freezer and serve it to your customers it should be ice cream. So it is very hard for me to give Livreri’s a good review but I will say they do have some really really cool t-shirts.

My husband and I were looking for a nice place to celebrate his 61st birthday. We had been to Livreri’s previous location, and enjoyed talking to Robert and hearing his stories about Frank Sinatra and the rat pack – my husband is a huge fan. We found the new location and although it was very quiet with no one else in the outdoor patio, we decided to stay. We were so glad we did! The indoor mall area isn’t ideal, but the patio is decorated nicely and with music playing, it was very special. Frank Sinatra’s «Just the way you look tonight»(our wedding song) came on, and we even danced while my husband belted it out. But the best was yet to come – heapin’ plates of delicious pasta(I had the mostaccioli with broccoli, my husband had raviolis with spaghetti and meatballs) mouth-watering garlic bread. An accompanying salad was delicious as well. The chardonnay I ordered(7/glass) was out of stock so I got the next one on the list, at 10/glass. They poured a generous portion. It was so good I got another, which I rarely do. If you are looking for delicious food, large portions and a special ambiance, you have to try Livreri’s Bella Napoli! We’ll be back next time we come to the Palm Springs area.

My husband and I were looking for some place different and came across Livreri’s Bella Napoli at The Atrium. We decided to stop and give it a try. This is definitely a gem in the desert. The food is fresh and tastes amazing. They have a great wine selection as well. Our server Vince was very friendly and service was excellent. We will definitely be back.

Alright! Let’s get it straight! I’ve eaten at every Italian place from La Quinta to Palm Springs. Chewed my way down El Paseo and back. Nothing compares! I had the best home made Minestrone that I’ve ever had. Followed by Shrimp marinara. Nice menu, including pizza. Great value. Generous drinks. Nice dining room. It’s located in the Atrium… Just below the Ritz Carlton in Rancho Mirage. Next to the Palms Café. It’s a little difficult to find. But it’s well worth the hunt.

We ordered off LA Bite and were a little disappointed. My boyfriend had the eggplant parm and well, he kind of enjoyed it. His only complaint was, not enough sauce. I ordered the lasagna, the lasagna itself looked like it was burned. Which was on the top layer before the gross cheese layer that covered it. The riccotta was very stiff. and the«meatballs» where nowhere to be found. If the meat i found in that was a meatball then i either dont know how to make them or they got the prder wrong. I deconstructed the lasagna and left it alone. It was definitley frozen lasagna. The only reason you are receiving 3 stars is because the tiramisu periferols were amazing and definitley the only reason why i would order from here again

Came to the desert for a little weekend staycation & was craving Italian food. This place is truly a hidden gem that lets the food speak for itself. Not to mention the biggest bonus is they allow dogs on their patio & did I mention, their patio is indoors. Yup… it’s the middle of summer & we actually found an awesome place to have one of the best homemade Italian food we’ve had in SoCal & we enjoyed it in the nice AC atrium. They were so nice & welcoming. Our SharPei, Roxy loved the special chicken they made for her to go with dinner. Undoubtedly, this place is a must stop anytime you’re here in the valley.

Both the lasagna and the pizza are great, but the best feature of this restaurant is its pet friendly policy. We foolishly brought our dogs on vacation with us and had a hard time finding restaurants that offered a climate controlled patio that would keep them cool and close by. This cozy gem is located in a(eerily empty after 6pm) mall of sorts that is air conditioned and out of the harsh desert sun. So, although, pets are confined to the exterior patio of the restaurant, the patio itself is indoors and very comfortable. I don’t mean to short change the food(which was excellent) but a meal can only be so good when you can’t enjoy it with the ones you love.

Fabulous authentic Italian, a little bit of Italy in the desert. Warm, friendly and a must during any visit to the area. You won’t be disappointed!

There are many average restaurant options here in the Valley, as many of us weekenders know. However, Livrieri’s has been one of our Go-to’s for many years, that stands above the rest. We are pretty finicky when it comes to dining out, but this place consistently delivers. The«special» pizza, eggplant Parm and lasagna are delicious. Salads and soups are great too. Service is always top notch. Best place in the Valley for Italian.

Absolutely the best. My partner and I think the food and service here is way above our expectations. You’ll enjoy the authentic Italian Food, plus the friendly staff is «Johnny on the spot» to make your evening enjoyable.

This place has great Italian food. I went with the wife after a recommendation from two couples that had gone a few days earlier. Turns out this place had just relocated from next to trader joes to a mostly closed minimall on 111. They had been well known for their food so I was surprised that the place was mostly empty. We got great service and the waiter split the Caesar salad at no charge. The house wine was very good quality, the red snapper I had was delicious, sauted perfectly. Her chicken Marsala was very good. Both came with veggies and pasta. Downside, ambience. Ok but the décor doesn’t fit and the curb appeal makes you wonder if you want to go in. Do go in. Whoever described this as an Italian villa? Sent 4 guys there last night. Picky eaters they came back raving about the food and service and also questioning the décor. Prices are reasonable. Hope it works out for them. I want to go back.

I am wondering if I went to the same restaurant the other reviewers were eating at. There was absolutely nothing right about this dining experience. I don’t even know what else to say…, everyone leaving had a to go box and I promise you it wasn’t because of the portions but because the food wasn’t eaten and they took it home not to be rude. Embarrassingly I did so as well.

Fantastic Italian spot. My wife and I were out in Rancho Mirage for work(coming from LA). We wanted some down home comfort food. We checked out some reviews on Unilocal,and headed over here. The place is deceiving. Tucked away in a business center is this quaint little spot. The owner Robert greeted us with open arms. My wife had the veal piccata, and I had the rigatoni with meat sauce with meatballs. Both were great. We shared a cannoli for dessert which was delicious. The service was great too! Definitely just what we were looking for after a day of driving and working. We will be back and will also tell others about this great place! Thanks Robert!

The family and I went to a fundraiser at The River about a month ago. Plenty of business owners showing off their stuff in hopes of promoting themselves in a tough area. One of the booths was handing out meatballs while exclaiming«We have-a BIG-a BALLS-a.» The meatballs were good but I had already read some reviews mentioning the quality of their food. Not only that, but they deliver within a seven mile radius. THATPEAKED my interest. For those alcohol infused shindigs when the food has run out. Anyhow, we decided to order a pizza for delivery. The kids opted for Pepperoni and my wife and I wanted the Special. FYI, the large Pepperoni goes for $ 15.50 and the Special is $ 22.50. We asked for a half and half. I would logically expect $ 11.25 for the Special side and $ 7.75 for the Pepperoni. Nope, the total for the pizza was $ 24.00. Hey buddy, that’s for being a pain in the ass. They did not say it but the price was an announcement from the highest mountain. Bump & Grind? Then, the person that took my order stated a $ 6 delivery charge. Okay, we are in a resort type valley where hotels come into play. So the total for my large half and half is now $ 30.50. THAT pie better be freakin’ AWESOME. Guess what? The Special was incredible. Easily the best I have had here in three plus years. I was singing…” WHEN the moon hits your eye LIKE a big pizza-pie THAT’S AMO-RE”!!! Seriously, I will pay $ 22.50 for the fresh ingredients and they did not skimp. I skimped the delivery guy because I had already paid a $ 6 delivery fee. He was dumbfounded when he mentioned he had change for $ 40 which I agreed to decisively. Sorry, I am from East L.A. and paying $ 6 for delivery is a RIP. IMHO. Oh, we did also remove mushrooms as an item from the Special side of things. I would visit them soon to see what else they have to offer. That delivery guy is a little peeved right now and if I had a poster out it would be a dart board by now. Give this place a shot. If I visit I will have to drum up a fake nose, glasses and moustache ensemble.
