In Desert Hot Springs, if you want a taste of some delicious Italian food, then the place to go is Capri Italian Restaurant, a simple and unpretentious place named after the gorgeous Isle of Capri in Italy. There is a sense of relaxed calm inside in the brightly lit room and the friendly service only serves to improve your mood at this family run establishment that has been going strong for the past thirty years.

The menu is a happy reconciliation between American and Italian cuisines, so expect to find fried zucchini served with marinara sauce or ranch dressing amongst the starters.  For main course, you can choose between spaghetti, linguini, angel hair or rigatoni and there's the classic pasta with meatballs. There is a choice of steaks even though you could also try the chicken florettes sautéed in wine sauce or the osso busco, veal shank on fettucini and end swith a smooth and creamy tiramisu.
