The food and service were excellent. Homemade pasta in the lasagne was wonderful. The only drawback was the seating. Due to the construction, all of the dining room, seating, was in the area which was formerly the patio. Very tight seating. They were also numerous flies on the windows, which obviously was not their fault. We will be back when the construction has been completed.

I chose to have dinner here for my birthday. I always eat here when we visit Palm Springs. Our evening was ruined by a party next to us. Particularly one woman in the party. She came in late and complained about how hot the room was. No one else was uncomfortable. They comped her wine cork fees for this. Are you going to give the whole room a discount? Then she insisted on a fan being brought out and it was placed directly behind a man sitting at another table to cool her off. We were disgusted with her complaints and that she was so demanding. What was worse is that the restaurant continued to accommodate her even if it made the other tables uncomfortable. Pretty disappointing to have a birthday dinner constantly interrupted by her complaints and the staff running around to please her. We struggled to even get a drink refill.

We were seated in the main dining area which was quite warm and had a chlorine smell. We found out that the A/C was not working. Unfortunate that was not previously disclosed. We were moved to the bar area. Quite noisy and not suitable for conversation. Service appeared to be quite rushed. We really like the place and go often. Hopefully it was just an off night.

Seated right away. Server was efficient, friendly and attentive. She was right there and took our drink orders. Came back for order. Antipasto salad is amazing! Enough for two to share. Ordered the Pappardelle with Bolognesi . Excellent! Flavor was rich ,noodles just past al dente. Serving was plenty! And the bread is delicious and brought to the table quickly.

The portion of food was that of a sampler. For 20 pieces of ravioli, the price did not fit the portion of food. The huge bowl the food was served in did not help the presentation. I will not be recommending this restaurant.

Absolutely loved this place, food is phenomenal, service is friendly and Honey beer is delicious. Recommend this spot 100%. This is definitely authentic, my wife loved the Raviolis and Ceasar Salad, I had a perfectly cooked Steak with my favorite side, Mushroom Rissoto! Deserts were amazing as well, I had Mango Guava sorbet, and my wife had a delicious pistachio cheesecake! Would definitely say this place is vibing, restaurant side was crowded and a bit noisy, so plan on talking loud if you’re looking for a quiet place to dine would definitely not recommend this place, but if you’re looking for a live place, definitely come here. My only critique is that its really crowded, tables are really close together and as a big guy, I felt really uncomfortable not having space to move around. But the food and service made it all worth it! Definitely a place to go with friends and adult friends for good food and drinks.

Hostess was prompt and addressed me by name ! Seated promptly, server came very efficient and friendly. Food was excellent had the antipasto salad (big enough to split) and the meat pizza ! Excellent choice. So much flavor! The server came and checked up on us a couple of times to see if everything was good. And it was!!

Simply outstanding. I have dined at many high-end Italian restaurants. But Enzo’s blow me away. I was not expecting such outstanding dishes and flavors. The homemade spaghetti and heirloom tomato sauce was out of this world. Antipasto salad was perfectly delightful. Pistachio cheesecake was spectacular. A must try if you’re in old town La Quinta.

The food and service were very good and the music was very nice. But our food came out way too fast. Our appetizers came out before our first glasses of wine. And our entrees came out within 10 minutes after ordering. I love fast service but this felt rushed.

We enjoy Enzos very much; however, last night we went there for dinner to celebrate our Anniversary. When making the reservation we were asked if it was a special occasion, and we said yes. Then we were asked what we were celebrating and we let them know it was our Anniversary. To our disappointment, our Anniversary was not recognized. Normally at other restaurants, you will receive a complimentary dessert, unfortunately this did not happen.

We went here for my birthday and it was nice. We had only come for Happy Hour before so it was special. It was a bit noisy but it was fine overall. The service was nice. The good quality was good though the pizza seemed undercooked. We personally know Hal and heard that the flour was from Italy therefore I wanted to try it for my birthday. Typically Italy's flour is not sprayed with chemicals and since I am gluten free, I wanted to see for myself. Thanks so much. It was a nice evening with friends who recently moved here to the Desert.

We tried this local restaurant later Saturday evening, made reservations and we were sat immediately. Dining area is small and our two person table was very tiny. We ordered drinks, a salad and pizza to share. Drinks came out first, then bread delivered to table, followed by salad, then our pizza. We enjoyed our food and drinks but getting service from our server ended after she took our order. We had to flag her down when we wanted something. I would return, the food was nice, we enjoyed ourselves. Will hope for better service at our next visit.

Ate in the dining room. Nice table and setting. Service friendly but lots of wait time between all points of contact- if that makes sense. Serving portions generous. I had the roasted chicken, which I’ve had many times before, but tonight’s tasted overdone and flavors were off.

Enzo's is our favorite Italian restaurants in La Quinta! We try to eat there every time we are in town. The food is always great, the service is excellent, and most of the time you have your choice of seating: inside near the bar; in the cabana where it is quiet and reserved; or outside which is delightful.

Wonderful branzino fish and risotto. Hubby had lentil soup. Yummy bread served before the meal and we had caprese appetizer that was delicious. Chose spumoni for dessert, and wished we’d gotten tiramisu instead. Overall, good dinner.

The restaurant was crowded - even at 6pm on a Monday night almost every table was full. Despite that- the staff were attentive The restaurant is split up strangely with dining areas separated up into smaller sections as if it was an old house To start we had calamari and Caesar salad and minestrone soup. Then for our mains we had eggplant parmesan and pappardelle bolognese. For desert we shared a chocolate covered spumoni ice cream for drinks we had a strawberry basil lemon drop and an Aperol spritz. While Nothing was actually bad- only the Spumoni and Aperol Spritz rated any higher than a “good”. The prices were have been appropriate for a Very good or excellent.

We love the food at Enzo's most of the time. Unfortunately, the Bolognese varies a lot. Sometimes it's wonderful, and sometimes it has very little flavor. The meatballs and sausage and peppers are outstanding.
