• Italian • Des Moines

Booked 33 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 had a great experience. Sophia was our waitress, and she treated us with the utmost courtesy and efficiency. I asked for a booth and got one which was cool. We just shared a flatbread pizza and had a couple drinks. It was a relaxing and comfortable time and my friend and I committed to making it a monthly date.

Our booth for four at the window was very comfortable. The waiter, Erik, was very attentive, knowledgeable and responsive with a comfortable manner. The hot toddy and wine was excellent. The French Onion Soup was perfection. We ordered Venison, Pork Chop, Scallops, carrots, salad and pomme frites (great French fries) . Each dish was perfectly prepared and the sauces excellent. Shared Apple Crisp with ice cream for dessert was just the right finishing touch. We recommend this restaurant for an excellent quality dining experience.
