“I cannot find any better pizza place. I decided to stop by Norma's Italian kitchen to order pizza for dinner. I got a medium sized pepperoni pizza with hand tossed crust. I took it home and it was super delicious. That was the best pizza I ever tasted. I definitely like to go back again.“
“We have been here 3 different times over the years on our trips to the desert- came here when they first opened with our boys years ago- pizza just like we had in Italy Second time was at Christmas a couple years ago when we met family out here and wanted a place that would have something for everyone in a party of 14. Everyone loved it- mussels, calamari, pastas, pizza... Then we came here late last night after we got into town- here for our spring break get away sans kids- Sunday night, super busy, no rezzies, sat at the bar- ordered happy hour pizzas and drinks- with cannoli for the finish!! Darlings- it was ALL phenomenal! I got the prosciutto and arugula and hubby got the chicci-chicci and claimed it was amazing. I devoured my 4 slices after claiming I wasn't sure I could eat the whole thing and was probably going to take some home. Cannoli was just like the best I had in Rome by the Spanish steps! Even had a bit of orange zest!! Even sitting in the worst seats in the bar (on the end where servers pick up drinks and drop off dirty glasses) wasn't bad- servers were especially friendly and fun! Great atmosphere!! Going back this week while we are here!!“
“We really enjoyed dining in and having the pizza. We ordered half buffalo chicken then a bunch of vegetables on the other half. The crust is thin except for the ends. The salad was okay but different from any other house salad. They have a sit down dine in and their counter is for take out only. You can see the pizza being made if you want to peak over the open space. They list a star when one of our family members were stuck in the restroom with no toilet paper…. They had to call us so we could request some.“
“My son LOVES the pizza here! We order takeout often and it's amazing every single time. I love the shrimp scampi. Literally the best scampi sauce I've ever had! Capers, wine, garlic, butter, cherry tomatoes, parsley! Just perfection! If you like shrimp scampi, this is definitely a must try!“
“Don’t let it’s location deter you (sandwiched between Marvyn’s Magic Theater and Cinemark Century La Quinta and XD), the outside isn’t a true reflection of what you’re about to experience inside.Kiki’s strikes a perfect balance, offering a laidback yet upbeat atmosphere that doesn’t put you to sleep nor overwhelming—not easily achieved for a new restaurant to the valley.The precedence is set by the staff who are all of the things you’d hope for but don’t always find. Everyone consistently delivered welcoming interactions throughout our visit, especially our server River. While we had great conversations with him during our visit, he embodied everything that Kiki’s is striving (and successfully) standing for. And his insightful menu recommendations didn’t disappoint:What I tried and would try again and again:- The Hamachi Crudo – If this was the only dish I ordered, I still would’ve been happy.- Caesar Salad – The last time I had a Caesar Salad this fresh was homemade from a family friend, so fresh you would’ve believed they caught the anchovies themselves.- Rigatoni Bolognese – 95% of the pasta made at Kiki’s is made fresh and you can taste it. I’m choosing to believe the other 5% is modesty to disarm any skeptics.- Meatatarian Pizza – This is how pizza is supposed to taste.Reservations–I’d recommend getting them. However, if the only available seating is at the bar or high-top tables, you won’t be disappointed.Kiki’s sets itself apart from other local establishments with their thoughtfully crafted end-to-end positive experience. My first time having dinner at Kiki’s won’t be my last.“
“I went there today and the food was amazing. It also has very quick and friendly service. Here are our orders, which were all delicious. 1. I got The ravioli 2. My brother got the spaghetti 3. We all shared a pizza All the food was delicious and 10000000000000% recommend coming here.“
“So, I tried to snap pictures of all the wings and pizzas that I ordered for the office, but they were promptly devoured as soon as I got back to the office.CHICKEN WINGS: They are saucy, crunchy, meaty and must be eagle wings, cuz they are HUGE! 10/10 recommendPIZZAS: Overflowing with toppings, which are all extremely flavorful and fresh. Recommend going with specialty pizzas, as they are make some really good combos. 10/10 recommendNeedless to say, the pizza and wings from Sabatino's is the unanimous favorite and go to for me and my staff (office of 15+ people).“
“The place looks more expensive than it is with Italian decor of hand-painted walls of people and places of Italy. The food is delicious - I had a nice salad and two slices of New York style pizza. My server was perfect in being there at the right time with the right attitude and the right thing, being both unobtrusive and available, which is not an easy skill to master and shows the caliber of training and attention to detail. Bravisimo!“
“Thank you for a fabulous St Patty's Day! The food was delicious and more than we could have asked for! As always, the service and camaraderie was spot on! The specials were so good, we had to bring home another plate! Cheers Thank you and see you again soon.“
“Stopped on our way thru town and had a very pleasant lunch with my mom. The food was delicious and the portion sizes generous! That $5 glass of wine was FULL to the brim! The restaurant was clean and the service great. I will be happy to come back if we're in town again one day.“
“One of the best pizzas in the valley. They are made "Subway" style because you can choose your ingredients, they have several cheese and sauce options and a wide variety of toppings (all very fresh) and they cook the pizza in a stone oven. The children's pizza comes with a drink and a scoop of ice creamKid-friendliness: kids menu“
“Holy cow!!! This place is bomb!! Lowkey if you blink you'll miss it right next to O'Reilly's in Coachella this place is a GEM. Service is amazing the food is unparallel!!! I cant believe Ive waited this long for this joy in food. Order Al Pastor torta bomb! Wings &Fries Bomb! Fajitas Mixta Bomb!!!“
“Loved the place good atmosphere, and our server did a great job. Did not have a reservation, but the host was nice enough to accommodate a group of 5. As a starter, we got the garlic bread, which was delicious a MUST try. Tried the steak frites, and the steak was cooked perfectly. Also, recommend would suggest adding a little more asparagus since it is a pricey plate. Lasagna didn't really taste like marinara sauce, more like a watered-down sauce of tomato, wouldn't order it again. Shrimp scampi was not a favorite had better. And the pork milanese needed more flavor to my tasting would not recommend. The wedge salad was a favorite I recommend. Have in mind we were 5. I did not eat all of that, but we all tasted each others food since it was our first time there. That was our conclusion from the tasting we did. Hope it helps someone.“
“Love round table Pizza for all the garlic that they put in their pizzas and garlic twists.The only reason it gets a four star rating instead of 5 is because sometimes they're a little inconsistent and don't put enough garlic on the twists , so they end up little dry or not flavorful enough.Other than that, it's our favorite spot!“
“I have walked in placed a order & also waited in the drive through. Had a very good experience each time! My go to is the personal pizza as it is perfect for me! I love mine Crispy & they achieve that ? Very delicious pizza ? I stop by every time i am in town!“
“This is a step up from a fast food restaurant. We enjoyed surprisingly good food. The pizza, stromboli, wedge salad, brussel sprouts and meatballs were very good. They had a good selection of micro brews. We caught the last 30 min. of happy hour. Most apps were about $8 and they were full size apps. Drink prices were reduced. This is a very casual, locals spot. Service was a little understaffed but we did not suffer for it. Our server was pleasant and worked hard.“
“My daughter had a good time today on March 4 ,2024 for her birthday It was 12:45/ 1pm and the lady working the register was so kind I wish I got her name ? she took the time to show me different deals to help suit my family I truly felt like I got a bang for my buck and my kids had a time good customer service matters and it was appreciated ? we will be back just because of that ?me and my family felt welcomed“

“Food was Excellent. Service was professional and courteous ( but it took a long time for our food to come out- we all had pasta dishes, probably cooked to order) . Ambience? This is not what I would call an "ambience" restaurant, You go there to eat, not to dine.“
“We came in for dinner and man this place was popular. The wait wasn't too bad, and accurately estimated. The table we sat at was right behind the hostess stand and a little awkward, but it worked. We ordered wings, salad, and a large pizza. All were good. Next time I would order the pizza with thin crust because the regular crust was too thick. But overall, it was very good. The service was great. Our server was very nice and checked in appropriately. Overall good experience.“
“Not sure what's up with the negative reviews because this pizza was amazing. We got ours delivered and it was still warm, tasty, and fresh. Going to be our new go-to pizza spot! Would highly recommend both specialty pizzas with white sauce -- absolutely a killer combination!“
“I didn't see the new location in the Citrus Canopy Mall on Yelp yet, so I guess I'll leave it on the old site. Not only is the restaurant beautifully decorated, but their pizza remains the best in the valley. Great pasta and salad selections across the menu, and great service, make this one of LaQuintas best restaurants.“
“This is a fabulous, moderately priced Italian restaurant. Lat visiting Palm Springs/La Quinta area we ate here 3 times.Food was amazing and portions large. Lots of seniors there and the seemed to love this place. It has been here for over 50 years.We had everything from lobster/crab cannoli, to massive pork shank, to spinach salads, to pizza and more.Try it.“
“Club sandwich was great. Great portion. Bacon was crisp and flavorful. Avocado was creamy and smooth. Perfect amount of ranch. Bread was toasted perfectly. I highly recommend it. Fries tasted fresh and crispy. The lemonade was a little watered down. But other then that food was excellent. Watched the game on the big screen and nice atmosphere. Good place to go to take a break from the slots“
“We had dinner at Ciro's and it was so enjoyable. We arrived in time for the Early Bird specials. I had the tortellini marinara and my husband had the chicken parmesan. Each came with a small salad. We also ordered a medium pizza, half pepperoni and half mushroom, knowing we would take part of it home. The food was hot and delicious. We ordered the pizza with thin crust and it was also delicious. Kayla wasn't actually our server, but she pitched in with drink refills and boxing leftovers. Everyone was pleasant. This is now our go-to Italian restaurant!“
“Usually love it here. Best food ever. Drove over 2 hours to get here from San Diego.....were spending the night in Palm Springs. We get there 10 minutes before closing time. They won't seat us (no big deal and we get it). They still had a dining room half full of people and it's a Friday Night. Can we order something to go. The hostess goes over to the kitchen and apparently it's a no go. If someone came in the door to any restaurant I've ever worked in at 10 minutes to closing....we would have sat them. Absolutely made my day a bit crappy. We drove back to Bills Pizza in Palm Springs. We ordered our pizza and were surprised. Excellent pizza.“
“Been ordering since I moved to the area and my wife and I have been very pleased with the service. We love a few hundred feet outside of their delivery range so we do their carside pickup and we have had nothing but 5-Star service and quality. This is the only location that I have ordered from who has called me in advance to let me know of an issue and have offered a solution. Outstanding customer service and fantastic food. I will continue to order from this location for all my pizza cravings.“
“We really enjoyed dinner here. Ordered the Cannelloni do Ricotta but substituted meat sauce, and it was the best meat sauce I’ve had in a long time. Also got Bruchetta Flatbread and Fettuchini Alfredo with GF noodles. We really enjoyed the food and felt that the service was excellent. Portions were generous. Food seemed naturally made fresh.“
“This place comes across as a typical bar when you enter with typical bar expectations, but the service was outstanding and above and beyond expectations. We ordered a 20 inch pizza and a couple drinks...again, excellent friendly service! The pizza was huge and also above beyond all expectations. I would venture to say it may have been the best pizza I have ever had.Walk to the back of the bar and they have a super cool outdoor seating area...a bit chilly tonight, but still, just a cool atmosphere. Hands down, one of the best Palm Desert experiences I have had in four years of visiting from MN.Will be back.“
“Great Pizza! The slice wasn't so floppy like typical NY style. It didn't matter!! I had a slice of just cheese and sat down, it was so dam good I had to get another to go. Now it's all I'm thinking about. Gotta go back get a whole pie!I went back 2 days later and got a 20" cheese. Hot soft thin crust.Great!“
“I'm impatient . But I'm not stupid . I like to order ahead of time like today. Just to beat the wait time by getting ready and getting in my car and driving and picking up my phone to call it in. .not only is it so simple . But does it always come out 110% every time . Never dissatisfied . Call me a fat ass I could care less . With such delicious food as simple as spaghetti and meatballs with a few garlic buttered toasts . You cannot go wrong . And I'm not gonna say I'm a critic or anything . But out of the many Mario's around . I recommend the Palm Springs, Bermuda dunes, I haven't tried the one in Palm desert or the one on Varner by Stater bros but not trying to throw too much shade . The Indio one was exceptional . The service and ambiance was equivalent to the ones I have been to . But the food was not . Not only did I feel as though I was skimped out on my portions but do I feel I was stolen from . Cause they charge the same price as the great ones like this one i am commenting on . But they did not serve it to my basic requirements . It was cold for mine and my girlfriends . And although she was kind. Our server . She was rushing and in a hurry and to me meant they were understaffed . None the less I only expect improvement from them if they want to continue business but who am I right lol . Also here is a pic of my empty large spaghetti and meatballs . I don't care . I'd pay twice the amount they charge me for what they give me for they are to kind of. God bless your Mario's Italian cafe .“
