• Italian • Des Moines

Booked 11 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.

Honestly the wait staff was great and kind, they just didn’t have many food options left and they kept bringing wrong drinks to the table. With as busy as it was and how large our party was I felt they did do a fantastic job and that aside, everything else was exceptional.

Ashton was very attentive and did an excellent job as our wait staff. The restaurant was quiet, tables not crowded together so we could have nice dinner conversations without yelling. The only complaint was in the temperature of the meats ordered. The prime rib was ordered “medium” (pink throughout) but was definitely medium-well and closer to well done. One filet ordered medium-well came out medium-rare. The kitchen corrected the filet, but we didn’t ask for the prime rib to be redone. All in all a good experience; we would go back!
