Kiki's Dining & Drinks

The decor is completely different and looks very nice. Service was friendly and attentive and they were able to accommodate some food restrictions very easily and the food was very good.

Our order came out very slow, but they management comped us generously, which made a difference. All in all a good time. Very good food.

Kiki's is a wonderful restaurant that we go to regularly. However last night was a different experience. We attempted to order the focaccia to start while we decide on the rest of the order. Our server told us somewhat smugly that she would prefer we give her the order all at once. I told her that we definitely want the focaccia. One of our guests was quite hungry so the appetizer would have been nice. When the server returned to take our order, I asked if she had put in the focaccia, and she had not. We went ahead and ordered our meals and scrapped the appetizer. The rest of the evening was uneventful, although the server was both slow and unfriendly. This is the only time I have ever written a review on any restaurant. I will likely continue to go to Kiki's, but will not sit in her station.

The pizza was truly authentic with home made sausage and also the black Cor was delicious Ate outside with my dog next to the fountain and the “ godfather of Slice” was quite entertaining. Very few good Italian restaurants in the valley, this is at or near the top

Everything about Kiki's hits just the right note. The food is excellent, especially the artichoke appetizer, and the service is wonderful. Lilly is a gem. The ambiance is lively and eclectic. Try it and you won't be disappointed.

The food delicious and very authentic, just like we make at home. The service was excellent our server Audrey was awesome.

Best meal out that we've had in awhile. We ordered several items off the menu and shared it family style. Everything was fantastic. The service was also great. We would recommend Kiki's to anyone.

The food at Kiki's La Quinta was delicious and good portions, we left very satisfied. The service was excellent, our server was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant ambiance was very nice, cozy and welcoming. A perfect place for a nice elegant meal with a casual atmosphere.

Food was truly wonderful. Our server (Audrey) was one of the best servers we have ever had.

Food was amazing!!! Everyone in our party loved every dish . Service was lacking , waiter wasn't checking back in with us. We had asked about beer selection and wanted to order but he never came back to check and take the order from us so we never ordered any . Food had then come out and we finished eating . Food was so good though we would definitely come back .

My partner and I had a really great experience dining here for the first time and will definitely recommend to others about this place. Our waitress was very kind and made sure we were having a good time.

A hidden gem! Had dinner recently with a group of friends. Everything we tried was amazing. Pizza (fav is Tony's), apps (esp. the Roman artichoke), pastas, chicken parm :), tiramisu that is the best you'll ever have, strawberry rhubarb tart. You will not be disappointed if you love authentic Italian cuisine. There's love and care in every dish. My new favorite Italian spot.

Amazing! Do not pass this place up. Last minute decision based on unplanned adjustments throughout the day and couldn’t have been more impressed. The experience, owners, waiters and food all awesome. Definitely a gem worth experiencing.

A Hidden Gem in La Quinta – A Must-Try!

Last evening, we had the pleasure of dining at Kiki’s Restaurant in La Quinta, and it was truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in the Coachella Valley.

We started with a few appetizers to share: the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, Sicilian Arancini, and Roman Artichokes – all absolutely delicious. Each dish was well-executed, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend trying any (or all) of them!

For mains, we had the Pepperoni with Hot Honey Pizza and The Tony (named after the owner). As someone who has eaten a lot of pizza throughout the valley, I can honestly say this was some of the best. Everything about the pizza was spot on – the crust, the balance of flavors, and the quality of ingredients.

We also tried the Chicken Parmesan, which was another standout. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, with a great balance of crispiness and sauce.

Dessert did not disappoint either. We shared the Tiramisu and the Strawberry Rhubarb Tart – both were excellent, but the tiramisu in particular was a showstopper.

What made the evening even more special was the atmosphere. The artwork throughout the space adds so much charm and character, and the music created a great vibe. Owners Tony and Alie were both present, visiting tables and making guests feel genuinely welcome. That personal touch made the night even more memorable.

As a chef who has dined at many restaurants in the Coachella Valley, I’ve never written a review before – but Kiki’s absolutely deserves the recognition. I highly recommend you check this place out. It’s a new favorite!

Had an opportunity to sample the menu at this charming spot last night. There were several standouts! The pepperoni pizza with hot honey was outstanding— possibly the best pizza ever! The house made rigatoni with bolognese sauce was also a favorite with our crowd! The tiramisu was sinfully delicious, and HUGE! Great for sharing. The strawberry rhubarb tart was also over the top.
