Chicken Alfredo
Jon K.

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.

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

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.

Meatballs and arancini!

Always love coming to Enzo's when we're in the Desert! Food is solid, good drink selection, prices are reasonable (especially in the bar) and service is fast and friendly. Love sitting in the bar - lots of TV's and a great vibe. Will be back again next time!

Calamari with Tomato Sauce
What B.

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.

Spaghetti

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.

Cannoli

My experience was wonderful. The service was amazing. Michelle was an amazing waitress. The food we had quite a bit was so good And the atmosphere was perfect with Italian music playing in the background not too high not too low just perfect. Definitely going back I think we found our new favorite spot! Thank you Enzo's staff.

Stop in even if it's only for a cocktail & bar bites, so worth it! Try the Chocolate Espresso Biscotti Martini
Veronica C.

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!"

Antipasto salad is great here.

I don't like onions, peppers or mushrooms, but the combination with the ton of meat was delicious! I didn't even want to pick anything off. It was even better when we reheated it!!!

The pizza had a wonderful crispy crust topped with a large amount of meats vegetables and cheese. Cooked thoroughly to perfection, not undercooked like works pizza can be but just right.the fries were hit, crispy and soft inside. Great flavor even without ketchup or ranch which we also had. The service was chill, laid back and very friendly. I felt like I was being served by good welcoming friends. One downside was the server who took our order, forgot to put it in the computer which caused a 45 minute delay. Taking it in stride he immediately offered to comp the whole meal and drinks, taking the blame upon himself. Stand up guy! I offered to at least pay for the drinks and he wouldn't let me. Regardless of the time delay, we had a great time and the food was outstanding. We will be back.

She assisted me with some olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette tastings. My favorite was lemon olive oil mixed with cucumber melon white balsamic vinaigrette. So light and refreshing! Ended up purchasing the cucumber melon flavor. With that I also bought some delicious sour cream thin crackers made from Italy. Quite different from what I usually buy at regular stores. I just started liking olives so purchased a jar of olives stuffed with garlic and cheese. Wow! It was bursting with tons of flavors. So good! Ate the whole jar within three days all to myself. My son had picked out taco seasoning which had all natural ingredients none of the extra unwanted bad stuff. Was a bit pricey, but thought worth it due to all good ingredients. There were so much more the store was offering, but of course couldn't buy the whole place. I had to leave otherwise would rack up the bill. Great place to make a stop if you are in the area.

Kiki's Sala: salanova lettuce is unusual but tasty -- like arugula without the bitterness. This is a large portion which you could share with four people as an appetizer. Sugar Snap Pea pizza: unexpected flavors with snap peas, mushrooms, & stracciatella. Table was divided on whether this worked. Cacio e Pepe: this version uses bucatini and is a little creamier than the classic. I ate it all regardless. Grilled Avocado: the name ignores that it includes fried artichokes as well. Satisfying and not too garlicky. Another large portion. The only disappointing item was the Polenta -- a little bland. If you get the Chicken Parm, you only need a half portion. Jack says the best two dishes are the Caesar and Linguini & Clams. They fly in Juniors cheesecake from NY! Full bar, attractive ambiance, and well trained staff. Go to Kiki's.

What really impressed us was the owner making the rounds to personally greet each table--it added such a personal, heartfelt touch that you don't often see. As for the food, it absolutely delivered. The chicken parm was perfectly cooked with rich, comforting flavors, and the hanger steak was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Between the exceptional service and the delicious dishes, this was one of those meals that leaves you already planning your next visit.

We didn't have reservations and requested to be seated inside. There was a little awkward first impression with the hostess who told us that there was only one inside table left in the back corner. She didn't come across very friendly when we asked if we could see it before deciding if we wanted to sit there or not. I understand they were busy but she was a bit short with us. We were seated in Isabel's section and she more than made up for it. What a gem! She was so friendly and very nice. She made sure to check on us often and we had a lovely time at your restaurant because of her. We are giving this review 5 stars because of Isabel. The seared ahi tuna salad and the ahi tuna nachos were both delicious. The fish was fresh and so very tender with a light dressing. The pulled pork tacos were good too. The brownie dessert was a bit dry though.

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I feel obligated to warn others…read more My fiancé ordered a Cobb salad, which should be one of the safest, most straightforward items on any menu. Instead, she bit into a sharp chicken bone hidden in the salad--something that absolutely should never happen. This wasn't a small, soft fragment either; it was sharp enough to cause immediate, severe pain and pierced her gums. This is not just a minor oversight--it's a major failure in basic food safety and kitchen preparation. There is no excuse for serving food in this condition, especially something as simple as a salad. We trusted this restaurant to provide a safe meal, and that trust was completely broken. What makes this even worse is that the situation could have been far more dangerous. If swallowed, this could have led to choking or internal injury. No customer should ever have to worry about that when ordering a salad. I strongly urge the restaurant to take a hard look at their food prep standards and quality control, because this is unacceptable. Until then, I cannot recommend this place to anyone.
