Once again, a long overdue review. If you snooze on Enzo's, you're a fool. As a value hound, I want to jump and share their MUST courses bar menu, as well as their lunch offering. The foodie in me implores you to visit Enzo's for grubbing. Even my little Bud agrees...because it's pup friendly. read more

I really had hoped for a special evening at Enzo's for New Years Eve. But we were disappointed. The space was cramped with all the windows closed due to the rain. The bar was crowded and busy, the space we were seated in was quiet but cramped. Our server Cathy was just okay. The food was most disappointing. First of all the menu was very ordinary and limited. My linguini vongole was passable not great, the linguini was not good. My wife's pollo alfredo was ordinary. Our friends both ordered eggplant stacks. The dishes arrived cold and took a long time to re-serve. The only thing good was the creme brûlée and the tiramisu. All in all a disappointing evening. read more

We love coming to Enzo's when we're in La Quinta. We were in town a couple nights early for our family Christmas Eve dinner so made a reservation at Enzo's. It was also my birthday. Jose had waited on us before and was my Late father-in-law's favorite server. He is so warm and attentive. We started with drinks and then moved on to romaine wedge and polpette. Both were excellent. Mains were melanzana parmigiana stack, salmon and fettuccini mare. All were perfectly cooked and delicious. Love the freshly made fettuccini. It makes such a difference. My birthday dessert was tiramisu. A large portion of we ate every bit of it. Thank you Enzo and especially Jose for making my birthday special read more

Ya know it was adequate. Our waitress Kimmi was fantastic. The food was lackluster. I keep finding the more we pay the more we are disappointed. read more

Delicious, Great service. Very nice dining area.I had the Bolognese and my daughter had the Cheese and spinach ravioli with a pink sauce...yum. Very soft Foccacio with a two sided carafe, one opening for a really good Balsamic Vinegar, other opening with Olive oil. Easy to personalize to taste. Topped off with a delicious creme Brûlée perfect crack! Fresh fruit, and cappuccino! read more

Enzo's Bistro & Bar is a typical American Italian restaurant. The layout is interesting: There is a bar, with a limited number of seats. There are two dining rooms, situated on either side of a central patio. There is some outdoor seating on a patio overlooking Desert Club Drive. This modular set up allows them to open sections, based on business levels. The menu is available for review, online. As you will see, pricing is reasonable for a restaurant with this level of ambiance. There were four at our table. No one had complaints about the food, or service. read more

The Food and ambiance are really nice. It's a very pretty and authentically Italian brick oven feeling restaurant. The chicken on the Penne Vodka was a bit cold, but the pasta was nice and warm. The Woodford Reserve Old fashioned was really balanced. The Rotisserie Chicken was herb forward (which is nice) and the Pasta Alfredo was so fresh and well made. The Mare seafood Is solid. The Papperdale Bolognase was really tasty. We added Alfredo sauce on the side to make it more of a pink sauce. The food was great but it took a little salt and pepper to make it more flavorful. The best part of Enzo's was the service. A kind manager named Angela was so kind and engaging. She was willing to move us to a nice fireplace table since we were outside. Also...They have my favorite water - Aqua Panna. Our server Chelsea was great and attentive. She made the experience beautiful. I would suggest reservations, as this is a LaQuinta jewel. read more

The outside of this restaurant is very attractive and leads you into the ambiance your about to encounter inside. It is very rat pack old Palm Springs vibes inside. We sat at the bar for a light lunch and a glass of wine; we were there during happy hour and had plenty of really good options to choose from. The house wine is part of the Happy hour and I asked about the wine and found out it is part of the Rutherford wineries in Napa....excellent item on a happy hour menu. I had the spaghetti and meatball and it was just the right portion. We also started with the calamari, probably some of the best calamari I have had in a while. The bartenders were very hospitable and shared the history of the restuarant with us. Alot of regulars but you will still feel welcomed. read more

Great service and amazing food. We went for happy hour. The house red wine was delicious. I normally do not order house wine but this Italian restaurant knew how to pick a wonderful wine. We had meatballs, sausage, and Brussels spouts appetizers. Yum read more

So sad to see such a good place go down ..I ordered A spaghetti bolognese but it came floating I. A tomato like sauce and some ground beef in red color .. the service was average , although the server tried her best and was very courteous .. read more

Excellent food, everything was fresh and seasoned just right. Great service and cool vibe too. We will definitely be going back.

Food was great. I had the romaine wedge and my wife had the tomato bruschetta. For entrees we had the salmon and I had the fettuccine with sausage. Both really tasty. The server was super nice. Jose helped make an accommodation possible in the dining room. My little ones wanted a burger and he made it happen. We really appreciated the gesture. He's a pro. His warmth and friendlyness is second to none. Very genuine person. read more

Had an amazing dining experience! The caprese salad really hit the spot - fresh mozzarella was delicious, ripe tomatoes, and basil came together perfectly. The penne vodka was also incredibly delicious, I did add a little more chili pepper flakes because I like my pasta spicy. The cocktail menu didn't disappoint either, I had a Paradiso cocktail that was refreshing drink on a warm spring evening. Highly recommend!" read more

Amanda and Melissa at the bar are so friendly, they remember what we drink and make the best espresso martinis! We go to Enzo's because of them and enjoy the food too! read more

Love this place!!! Amanda and Melissa are the best!!! Great fresh Italian food, super ambiance and service is top notch.

The food and the service are always great at Enzo's! Whenever I am in town I go to dinner at Enzo's.

The food quality was so poor.. stay away. The chicken had to be covered up because we couldn't even look at it on the table. It was so gross looking service was extremely slow and how do you mess up pizza? The pizza was very bland boring and the crust was so soggy. I wish we would've sent the chicken back and got a refund and I should've taken pictures because boy it would've been ugly. read more

YELP SHORT ANSWER: YES - One of my FAVORITES, Happy Hour really makes one feel happy and appreciated. Peak Season dining; make a reservation great outdoor and indoor seating options but the bar is great. LOCATION: In Old Town La Quinta, lots of parking you'll find something but make sure you get a seat first, not a lot of good waiting areas. FACILITY: Older, darker, and very appropriate for an Italian restaurant with a Palm Springs vibe. MENU: Excellent options which are in Italian but simple explanations of each dish. Most options are in the $25.00 range. pappardelle Bolognese and spaghetti Gabriella are good options in the main dining area. FOOD PREP: Pretty good, nothing fancy but well above average. Italian food sometimes is difficult to plate. This is not a Mario's, not even close so enjoy. FOOD QUALITY: Happy hour pizzas are exceptional, perfect thin crunchy crust without asking. LIBATIONS: Great place to kick back and enjoy old and new friends. WAITSTAFF: A+ have really had a lot of fun with the staff here... they take no BS so behave yourself or for Get About It. Guessing since we only visit on peak season or hours we get happier receptions... OVERALL VALUE: EXCELLENT, what more is there to say. TIP: OKAY Listen up. If you're going to visit off season when it is hot as &ell outside, try and not sit near the kitchen (to right of entry) unless you want to keep vert warm. Their HVAC is not the best and being by the kitchen and ovens, well it is warm. read more

Took my family here the other night and we had a fantastic dinner! The pasta, pizza and especially the sauce they put on their spaghetti is so good! The service was excellent and really fast! The food here is some of the best Italian I've ever eaten. Very cool place. We are most definitely coming back. Highly recommend this gem of Old Town! read more

Finally tried Enzo's for happy hour and we enjoyed it very much! It was Wednesday - they have wine Wednesdays with half off their bottles of wine - but we wanted cocktails. The bartender was friendly and made good suggestions; her cocktails were on point. We shared a wedge salad which was good and the eggplant parm stack, which was just okay. The people at the bar were friendly and overall the place had a good vibe. We'll be back! Didn't remember to take pics this time... read more

Honestly I had very high expectations for this place but it wasn't quite what I expected. It's more Italian American than Italian. My friends got the chicken, very bland and dry, the pizza was decent, and the pasta was not it. I got the bolognese and it didn't seem fresh at all. Not sure if it's homemade but the flavor was so bland. Personally would not come back again. read more

This is a place I always enjoy. Angela, the manager, is amazing, and the service is always good. I very much enjoy their pasta

I am gluten free and they did a great job of serving a gluten free meal. The wait staff understood gluten free and were very helpful.

There's plenty of other desert gems, especially around Old Town La Quinta, but Enzo's just isn't the spot. The patio is alluring, sure, but the many restaurants have a lovely patio. Take it from me--this place is a pass. I've dined here many times with aunts and uncles and each time the quality of the food and service gets worse. It's disappointing. Wasn't greeted by the hostess whose podium is setup between a small gate opening. I was a bit bothered. The food was bland and boring and small. Decent price for portion I will say, but not a full meal--and certainly not worth eating. Between the two of us, the side of bread served with the pasta was vastly different in size and tasted and looked like it had been soaked in oil. Hard to chew. The salad I had (not pictured) was definitely a bagged salad. And lastly, the pasta I order was so boring and not worth eating that I only ate half. Surprised with 6 cooks in that kitchen, that no one could make a good bowl of pasta. Again, pass on this place. It's not worth it! read more

We ordered takeout from this restaurant since my husband and I were craving Italian food, but we were disappointed. The $12 Caesar salad wasn't even enough to share, and the $23 penne alfredo came in a to-go container that wasn't even full. For the price, the portion sizes are way too small. We probably won't be ordering from here again. Seems like leftovers were given to us, not fresh. Along with stale croutons. read more

My family and I had a great time, the food was awesome and Christian was a great server. He made us feel so welcome.

Took my girlfriend out for a date night, the vibe in there is amazing. Jose was an absolutely incredible server and took care of us very nicely. We got the Ravioli and Lasagna which tasted wonderful, you can tell it's home cooked. Only downside, I wasn't a huge fan of the Cesar Salad which was 13 dollars a piece. That wasn't disclosed. With a 20 dollar tip and 2 people I paid 105, which I think was worth it for the experience. But again, could've gone without the Cesar salad. read more

Excellent noodles, which were freshly made, linguine vongole was tasty. As was the bruschetta. Kimmy, the server was also great! Ambiance was solid too but the one problem ruined the whole experience, the chairs for the tables in the outdoor patio are a little low, I feel like my face is level with the table and I'm eating like a dog out of a bowl. Quite cumbersome to use utensils to eat because of this and got a little splatter on my sweater. read more
