• Italian • Des Moines
Booked 12 times today
The Latin King restaurant was founded in 1947 by Rose and Jim Pigneri, who immigrated from Terravecchia, Italy to Des Moines. Rose and Jim wanted to bring authentic Italian fare to Des Moines and began this undertaking in earnest upon selling their home to finance the Latin King restaurant lease, which had previously operated as the Cinderella Sandwich Shop (circa 1930) and the Chanticleer Restaurant (circa 1937). Pigneri named the Latin King after New York City’s Latin Quarter and operated the Latin King for 35 years, notably taking only 10 days of vacation time during his tenure. Pigneri sold the Latin King to his third cousin Bob Tursi in 1983.

    We signed up online for a reservation but were able to arrive earlier and were able to get seats earlier. Very pleasant man at the register helped us. The waitresses were very helpful and fun. Food was delivered in a short time and was delicious. Waitress was attentive to our needs. Great experience!

    So delicious, plus felt like a family experience with all of the staff! We were visiting for my birthday, and upon entry I was greeted and wished happy birthday by two employees, and our waitress, and even while leaving after such a great meal and drinks (and birthday tiramisu), they remembered me out of all of the guests on that busy night and said to enjoy my birthday once again on our way out! Was very thoughtful, we will be returning for sure!
