Enzo’s Bistro and Bar: Authentic Italian Cuisine with a Palm Springs Vibe

Plan your dinner at this place if you want delicious Italian food. Every time we visit the desert, we schedule a visit to this fine restaurant. We are always pleased with every portion of our meal. The staff is very accommodating and pleasant. I think it is clearly one of the top restaurants in the desert.

Excellent Italian food and great service. I'd rate it as one of the best restaurants in old town LQ. Everything was fresh and well prepared.

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.

If you love homemade, fresh, pasta then Enzo's is a must try! Their penne vodka pasta with added meatballs (as suggested by the sever) was phenomenal. The pasta bolognese was also a hit & not to mention their pepperoni pizza was to die for. The service was on par, even on a busy evening- our server was attentive & checked in often to make sure we were doing well. The atmosphere is lively, with live music on Friday night (the day we visited) and the locals up dancing enjoying themselves. 10/10 I HIGHLY recommend given Enzo's a visit. ** and of course we devoured our food before taking photos
