Italian Kitchen - Hesperia

This restaurant is a hidden gem in the high desert, known for serving authentic, homemade Italian dishes in a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The food is delicious, but I have a few reasons for giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Firstly, they only accept cash which can be inconvenient in today's society. Secondly, I requested linguine pasta but received spaghetti instead. Lastly, the food was slightly overcooked and dry in some areas. When I asked for more sauce, they initially wanted to charge me extra but eventually provided it for free. The waiter later admitted that he had made a mistake in my order, which was a nice gesture. Overall, despite these minor issues, I enjoyed my meal at this restaurant.

I have to say, there is no better Italian food anywhere else. The portion sizes are huge, enough to have leftovers for another meal. This is not a typical chain restaurant, it feels more like dining in an Italian grandmother's kitchen. The food is absolutely delicious, the best I've ever had. The restaurant has been serving since 1986. The owner, Mike, is a wonderful guy.
