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.

Latin King never fails to deliver on good food, great service and an overall nice dining experience. It’s a longtime favorite for those reasons. Plus, they have a nice selection of Italian wines including Montepulciano

We were regulars until it was sold and then we have not been there since. The Latin King has not changed, the food is as good as ever. Molly the waitress was on point and friendly. We will absolutely go back. The salad could be a bit bigger.

New Year’s Eve dinner with my wife was excellent. The food did not disappoint, always good there. Recommend the mozzarella cheese sticks or onion rings as an appetizer-maybe both (be sure to order some extra zesty red sauce instead of ketchup for the rings)! Spaghetti with zesty red sauce was fantastic, the Chicken Spiedini Amogio was fantastic-if you go someone at the table has to order it. Service was not spot on but it was busy & we didn’t get one of our regular servers. Chalk it up to that-we will definitely go back. Great Italian Food!

Another great experience and excellent food. The staff was very attentive. The large room is a little loud but not uncomfortable.

Excellent food prepared perfectly. Professional servers. We were celebrating my son’s graduation from college and couldn’t have picked a better place. Highly recommend.

Where do I begin, on the positive side the service was excellent. We sat in the large dining room and it was absolutely freezing in there, not only me but my dining companions on a 20 degree evening. Two recent visits the food is not what it was with prior owner. Lettuce for salad was old and filet was overcooked and tough and tasted like fish (cooked next to fish?). Baked potato was so small, I did not even know they had potatoes that small and literally was barely even warm. Dining partners commented the same with their steak, potato and salad. Pasta dish other dining partner not strained properly and in plate of water. Sorry to experience this theme on recent visits, but new ownership brings unfortunately changes, not all of which are good.

Thank you for the feedback, we are thrilled you enjoyed excellent service. We will look into the issues you raised. Were you able to speak the management and get your meals replaced. The ownership has been the same, as it was for your recent visits.
