Kiki's Dining & Drinks

For years, I've chased the ghost of perfect Italian cuisine...from quick weekend trips to Italy for a bowl of cacio e pepe to hunting for that authentic New York Italian-American vibe in LA. Moving to the actual desert, I genuinely thought I’d have to retire my pasta cravings or start making all my favorites myself. Then, Kiki's in La Quinta happened. I have been craving bucatini for literal years, and if you know bucatini, you know it’s a tricky pasta to master. The thickness of the noodle makes achieving that perfect al dente bite a real challenge. Kiki's didn't just meet the challenge; they obliterated it. The dish was phenomenal, a culinary reunion I knew I needed. It's rare to have a craving that lasts five years, and even rarer to find a dish that makes that wait absolutely worthwhile. But Kiki's is so much more than just the pasta. They deliver on their promise of eccentric design and sincere hospitality. The service was impeccable, the vibes were elevated, and their dedication to "quality imported ingredients and locally sourced produce" is evident in every bite. It’s the perfect place for a delicious Italian classic paired with a craft cocktail. A Quick Note on Allergies: My only "feedback" is a heads-up for those with dietary restrictions: they currently offer very few, if any, gluten-free options. I made the mistake of bringing my gluten-allergic child, and the only suitable main dish was a magnificent, albeit $80, steak. LOL (Which, to be fair, was damn well worth it!). Bottom Line: If you are allergy-free and seeking exceptional Italian classics, incredible ambiance, and a genuine connection to that molto bene feeling, Kiki's is your destination. Knowing I don't need to break out the passport to indulge in one of my favorite Italian dishes makes my heart so happy. Go see what everyone is talking about!

We came here for a Saturday night date night. Service was great, our server was very kind and really tried his best despite the situation in the kitchen. First, they ran out of the beef carpaccio, which was fine, things happen. Then, our server let us know their pasta boiler was broken, so the pasta might take longer than usual. Totally understandable. When the pasta finally came out though, it was unfortunately undercooked, still hard and not enjoyable. I felt bad sending it back, but the server was very apologetic and even comped the dish, which we appreciated a lot. It just felt like if the chef had let the pasta cook a couple more minutes, it would have made our night much better. Overall, great service but disappointing food this time. Maybe it was just an off night, hopefully next time the kitchen runs smoother because the staff truly deserve better support.

One of the best restaurant in Indian Wells. The food exceeded all expectations. The Caesar salad came garnished with visible anchovies. Everything you taste has the chef's magic touch including the anchovies. Delicious. The pasta is perfectly cooked. Jason, their mixologist, makes elements for their cocktails in-house for incredibly delicious drinks. Try the lavender martini! The management staff went above and beyond in many ways, at one point they brought out a balloon animal for a baby in our party. Customer service is top notch, they truly treat you like family.

We were greeted warmly by the hostess who sat us immediately. Server came by and offered us water, wished she could have greeted us and either asked or gave us a small intro to Kikis Menu since menu on website is almost completely different than what we got, plus she could have suggested drinks and/or appetizers to start. Staying on menus, they need to increase the size of font on the cocktail menu, you really need an eyeglass to see what was offered. We all decided on our drinks after a few minutes and the housemate foccacia ( which we all enjoyed specially the whipped cheese) Our entrees we selected: (1) Hanger Steak, Half Chicken Parma & Pepperoni Pizza. The Pizza came out just the way we expected nice and hot, cheese was gooey and enough pepperoni (great for only $ 25) Now the Steak while it tasted wonderful it was cold and pricey $ 43 so was the Chicken Parma $ 32, it seems they sat waiting for pizza to be ready. But everyone enjoyed the flavors of all 3 dishes. When Manager and it seemed like owners approached our table and asked about our dinner, we shared with them and they did say we should have said something about the cold plates, we just wanted for them to know it for future. We ordered Tiramisu for dessert and flavor was on point. Just wished they would not put it on a bowl, so we could appreciate the layering of the mascarpone, lady fingers etc. All flavors were great, even though items were cold, a few items were over priced, server was friendly but on my opinion needs to be trained to offered another round of drinks, offer dessert, offer after dinner drinks etc. and we asked for the check it took long to arrive. Also we arrived when around 8pm there was enough light to see it was open, but when we left the front area looked dark, maybe strip mall needs better lighting for future guest see that they are open.

We went with a large group of 6 and wanted to taste as much as possible. Nothing disappointed. Everything was delicious and filled us up! From the focaccia, steak, chicken parm, cacio e Pepe, pizza, bucatini and meatballs, to the sides, and ending with dessert- our favorite specifically the strawberry rhubarb tart it was all a delicious meal and experience. Huge shout out to Matt and the whole team we encountered they were all wonderful! Don’t forget to order the cheesecake too. I don’t think you can go wrong ordering anything there and that’s hard to say about any restaurant!

The first visit was very nice overall, although expensive for what we got. We thought, "Great, let's take some friends there," but we ended up with an embarrassingly bad experience our second time. We didn't order any alcohol, which didn't seem to go over well with the waitress. Then my friend and I weren't too hungry, so we decided to split an entree. I could see that this further declined our "swag" with the staff. We received our entrees, but our chicken Milanese was so overbrowned, I couldn't even eat it. After swinging our arms in the air to finally attract the staff to address the problem (no one came by to check if our food was okay as they were busy chatting with each other), we were quickly provided with an entirely better version...why was the charred chicken even presented? Lastly, it seemed like we were hustled out the door without any graciousness, despite our being cordial in trying to correct their problem. No "sorry" or visit by the previously congenial manager/owner, no smiles or goodbyes, just like leaving the grocery store. Sad because we hoped we had found a good place to take our dining $$, but we won't be going back.

Kiki’s was fantastic! Not exaggerating. Beautiful decor and even better food! Would definitely go back anytime. We split 2 items, a massive Cesar salad that was excellent, and then a huge Chicken Cacciatore that was plenty of food for both of us. Reasonably priced too. Our friend had clams and linguine that had a ton of Manila clams. Looked great! Our server, Audrey, was also very fun and super nice, great sense of humor. If I could give this experience 6 stars, I would. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

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.

Absolutely love the food, drinks and atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and service is always exceptional.

Kiki's!!!! Absolutely amazing food and stellar service. The pizza is incredible and my favorite dish so far is the chicken parm. It's huge!!! I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes Truly an amazing dining experience we will be back soon!

Great food, ambiance also. Cosmo is a very professional server. The manager, Mark on point with overall decor, food & staff. Highly recommend to all who love great Italian cuisine & drinks as well.

So good! Service, food and ambiance..but very pricy. Small pours, overpriced cocktails, wine and food. $26 4 meatball appetizer! $20 Caesar salad. Probably more of a special occasion spot. The food was delicious!

This update to my previous review is just a warning to anyone that chooses to review Kiki's... be careful. The managing partner Nick Iattoni will retaliate online for any reviews 3 stars or less that he doesn't deem flattering. Instead of addressing any concerns you might have posed with the food, he'll go right to being petty. In closing, the food was still bland Nick. The short ribs actually tasted better the next day... but the chicken Parm was still "meh". And for the record, the pandemic pretty much killed that business that you left the negative review for. That's how I knew that it was affiliated with the review I left below for Kiki's. Just do better than this in the future.

I would really give them a 3.6 but I rounded up because of the nice server , Cosmo, the atmosphere, and the quality seems pretty good. I try to be kind when it comes to the stars but I'm not sure I want to go back for many reasons. One big reason is they are extremely ridged on changing anything such as swapping different pastas with different sauces or having a different side other than the three they offer. Also , they have a small and very limited menu , which they change frequently so you cannot browse the photos on yelp and expect to find those dishes when you dine there. You must go to their web each time and see what they are serving right before to go. We wanted to order , but they did not have polenta, gnocchi, or pappardelle bolognese which we saw on yelp picture gallery and just assumed it would be the same since they have only been open for a year. They charge 4 dollars for the bread which was small but very good. I decided on a half order of chicken parm $35 but I changed my mind because I didn't like vegetables or potatoes as a side dish. I offered to pay extra for a pasta side but Cosmo said that it is not an option and that I could order a pasta dish for around $25 to share with the table but it was just mom and I and she doesnt eat pasta. My half a chicken dinner with pasta would have been $58 plus tax and tip! All other Italian restaurants chicken Parmesan comes with a side of pasta as a general rule. Mom couldn't find anything she wanted so she ordered hanger steak for $45. The steak was good but it came with the potatoes which were dry and tasteless. She had to ask for some butter to put on them. My pasta was good but portion wise it was on the small side. The tiramisu tasted home made and was really large. I liked it but mom thought it was too sweet.

Such a cute place with an artsy theme but the food was rather underwhelming. The burrata and foccacia is pretty standard. The cacio e pepe was not bad but a little on the oily side. The chopped salad was decent and nice to share though and the polenta (with the prawns) was best when mixed with the tomato sauce. However, none of these left a real memorable impression on our taste. There's an effort but it seems to miss the mark. Everything came in large portion sizes as well so expect some leftovers. We could have easily split the salad and a single entree between two of us. As for the beverages my mom was also disappointed with their espresso martini and did not finish it. Those are definitely hit or miss in most places. It tasted almost like medicine, and perhaps it was just the liqueur used, but it wasn't worth remaking. The drinks are also very small for the price.

Favorite restaurant in the desert! Such a cool vibe, friendly staff and the most delicious freshly made food and craft cocktails. Great for date nights, dinner with friends and love bringing the entire family. Highly recommend!

I was excited to try Kiki's and finally did for a Friday dinner date, prepared to love it. Spoiler alert: I liked it, but feel they could improve some things. Vibe/decor: great, modern, lively, fun. Love the plants when you walk in and all the eclectic framed artwork. Service: Fabulous. Very attentive, friendly, and helpful (checking ingredients for us due to allergies, trying to level our wobbly table, etc.). Drinks: Their cocktail list is inventive but we went with classic dirty martinis with blue cheese olives (had the option between those and regular). Our first round had bits of ice, a no-no, Martinis 101. Second round was perfect. Blue cheese olives were bomb. Food: very good...but not amazing, and therefore definitely WAY overpriced. Everything is a la carte, even the entrees. We shared the snap pea burrata starter, tasty but for $17 we expected to get a nice portion of burrata, rather than a smear. I also had one arancini, $4 for a tiny ball of basically breading with hardly any filler and no sauce. Meh. My husband had the barramundi piccata, I had the chicken mila-piccata. His fish had a very crispy skin and my chicken was beautifully fileted and fried to golden perfection. Unfortunately the piccata "sauce" filling both our plates was flavorless and extremely watery, more like a broth, and without any veggies or other accompaniments on the plate to soak it up. Presentation: The plates themselves were oval/rounded and too deep and large, so we constantly had to make sure our utensils didn't fall in. Also, the aforementioned wobbly table couldn't be fixed so we moved to another. Pedestal base tables simply don't work. Surrounding tables had pizza and pasta dishes that looked sublime so that is probably the move. Unfortunately my husband is allergic to wheat and they offer no GF alternatives for either. Understandable for a classic Italian restaurant, but sadly it means we probably won't return.

Let's make that 4.5 Possibly the BEST pizza I have EVER eaten!!!! For sure the BEST in Coachella Valley, FOR SURE their Caesar salad ain't bad either (sorry Bill's Pizza ) Located in La Quinta on Washington in a strip center, near the movie theater ~ so ez FREE parking very unassuming from the outside, quite nicely designed on the inside with some trees, interesting artwork & a full bar . Many offerings in addition to pizza~ so don't feel fenced in. Sadly I can't remember out servers name, she was quite wonderful & helpful

Beautiful dining space with quite good food. Our server Cosmo added to our experience.

It all just works here and the ownership has pressed the passion of Italian cooking on the the entire staff. YELP SHORT ANSWER: Yes, they have tried to make KiKi's a fun dining experience and for the most part they have succeeded. It is not over-the-top Italian everything, thankfully, more "Cali Itali". Would recommend a Reservation but we just dropped in early and had no problem getting a nice table. But by 5:30pm they were slammed. LOCATION: Easy to find in same development as cinema and other businesses just off Washington. Tons of parking. FACILITY: New, very nice, modern, with a lot of interesting artwork on the walls. MENU: A little fancy as my Italian is not a so good, but that is okay and I am sure some people like it. RIP Mezze Maniche Carbonara is no longer on the menu a sad day for sure. FOOD PREP: Excellent all done with intention, a chef and an owner who sees the art and presentation of the food is as important as the taste. FOOD TASTE: Very good, thankfully entrees not over salted of sauced out. Homemade pasta is always touchy as the texture is different for some people and they don't appreciate what's involved. I hope they continue to promote the homemade aspects of their pasta's as for sure they could just not do it and save time, trouble, and money. Not the best Italian food I have ever had but I don't think that is the goal here, but it is very good, and everything together just works. WAITSTAFF: Very good and watching everyone, they are all on the same page. The excellent training and motivation of staff and then the timing of everything is fantastic, not too much, but you have about 4 members assisting with your meal. I'd say with few exceptions the waitstaff experience at Kiki's is some of the best in LQ and with zero attitude. OVERALL VALUE: Very good for this level of service and food quality. COCKTAILS were a little pricy at $16 so I passed but the bar looked to be entertaining and very well set up. FOOD seemed priced prefect but not inexpensive. For me, the entree portions were too large and 1/2 of my Bucatini and Meatballs went to the trash as did my wife's Rigatoni Bolognese. To encourage customers to try many things, PLEASE offer a reasonable split fee or entree 1/2 orders on a couple of items as we ordered the Butternut Squash Arancini, Peruvian Bay Scallop, Focaccia bread, and then two entrees and it is just too much food. I know waiters are there to sell drinks, appetizers, and entrees but a waiter letting people know that is a lot of food, making a split an open option is very much appreciated before I order, Grazie. TIP: For sure try an appetizer or two and maybe split a meal.

30 bucks for spaghetti and meatballs? If the food was amazing, I wouldn't have minded but everything is just average. Very dark ambiance. outside is nice when the weather is good but I'd pass on this place.

Experience was not great. Service was very attentive and cordial but food was lackluster. The menu was rather compact and the 4 diners all had the same opinion of their respective meals, just ok.

First visit to Kiki's! LOVED this beautiful new restaurant offering both indoor and outdoor seating! The service was FIRST class! If you follow my reviews you know I LOVE lots of staff standing around making sure dirty dishes are removed, water glasses are kept full, and food is being run out of the kitchen as it's prepared. Well, Kiki's is generously staffed and graciously trained to push in chairs and fold napkins when a guest leaves the table. Nice touch! Our server Nick was great! Our food was delicious, and vibe chill! We look forward to returning often! The only room for improvement were two things... one, the cocktail pours were a bit on the thin side and two, the Parmesan offered for my bucatini would have been better if it was grated over my dish rather than serving the ground Parmesan in a small dish. Cheers

Service was definitely friendly and attentive. Ambiance was good - especially for a restaurant in a strip mall. Food - my husband loved his linguine and clams. My tricolor salad was great - hamachi was subpar but manager gave me an extra glass of wine so I'm good. A tip - steer away from the focaccia. It's a piece of toast with olive oil. Totally unexpected and unappreciated. Shame on Kiki's for charging us for that. Not sure we will go back - menu didn't offer healthy options. Our server was super nice though.

Absolutely love this place. My to-go place whenever I'm in the area. Audrey was Absolutely phenomenal - down-to-earth and a great waiter. All the staff were very friendly, and the food delicious. I ordered the clam pasta with an old fashioned. My husband and pasta with an IPA. Highly recommend this place for any foodie. And I appreciate they dim the lights, it creates a homey and intimate ambiance

Fantastic from the get go. A Small hidden gem in La Quinta. The wife and I started off with a whiskey sour and a pineapple Serrano chili margarita. Both were refreshing on this beautiful evening. My with had the apple salad and I had the wedge salad. Both were good, but overall simple and elegant on the presentation. My wife ordered the king salmon and I ordered the prosciutto and fig pizza (fantastic). The pizza was drizzled with a honey, which with the dig, goat cheese and honey, it was like a charcuterie tray pizza. The study was amazingly crispy and ate like an artesian cracker. The service was spot on. No pushy or interruptions asking for needs, just simple service, while asserting water was full, napkins were plenty and all was well. A great spot. Welcoming and we will be back.

I simply love this place. The owners have done a wonderful job in curating an outstanding menu and the food is simply fantastic. Great service and the vibe is out of this world. Try the Chicken Parmesan - best this side of the Mississippi. Highly recommended!!

Ambiance - 10 out of 10! Service - 10 out of 10! The food was disappointing and didn't live up to the setting of this restaurant. Scallop appetizer was poor. The sausage and onion pizza was too salty and burnt. The saving grace was the shrimp casarecce alla vodka- sauce was super tasty and the shrimp itself tasted fresh and firm. Overall, for La Quinta it's a decent pick.

We had reservations and we were seated promptly but the people ahead of us did not have reservations. There were so many open tables but they were told they could only sit at bar. The number of staff was overabundant so I am not sure what the issue was. The place never filled up after 1.5 hours. My first impression is this is "La Quinta" and the atmosphere is versed towards a much younger crowd. Loud dance music and disco balls. It's ok with me but..... Next ( and I was warned) the cocktails are maybe 5 sips big! I had the spritz while it was tasty it was not worth 18.00! If it was twice the size then definitely yes! The waiter must have been new. or poorly trained. Asked what vegetables were in the short ribs and he could only come up with one vegetable. I asked what else and he said"i don't know". I then had to ask...."can you find out??" Waiters should know the menu forwards and backwards especially for a menu that small. Next we ordered a great bottle of wine but he spilt it on my boyfriend and my purse. What? Not even sure how that happens when just pouring into a glass. My boyfriend ordered Ice tea as well and we were told they were out of sweet and low or any other sugar sub??? The food...Started with the meatballs which seemed to have been sitting around for awhile and were cold. We also had the pepperoni pizza which was entirely too sweet for my taste but the dough was great and pizza cooked well. The rigatoni was very rich with a mix of red and white sauce. Just ok. Not great. Not sure how this restaurant will go in La Quinta. I would probably not spend that much money on just ok food, very small drinks and service.

Chicken Parmesan berry delicious meatballs awesome. I don't think I've had meatballs that tasted so great and such a long time. Esai was our server and he was great on top of everything from A to z Palm Springs Indio, we will definitely be stopping by for more Italian food The atmosphere is not bad at all, we definitely love this place

Worse dinner ever! So sad as we heard such good things about this restaurant. To begin with there were no reservations available after 5:00 according to Open Table so we chose 5. From 5 until we left at 7 half the restaurant was empty. That was annoying and I had to use a credit card to get the 5:00 res. ? We had salads to start. I ordered the pear / house salad which was good but my friend's Caesar was soggy and tasted like it was leftover from the previous night! For our main course, I had the whole branzino and paid extra to have them fillet it (at $45 there's an extra charge?) Not realizing that it comes a la carte, I also had to order the roasted potatoes. The branzino was a very large portion (whole fish, I guess I should have expected) so glad that I shared with my daughter. We didn't finish either. The fish was mushy and flavorless. And it had bones! My daughter had to keep picking them out. Service was nothing special and all in all a very disappointing meal- especially for the price! Maybe we caught them on an off night, but we won't return!

Excellent menu choices, the food preparation & presentation was excellent & the staff are professional, friendly & efficient. Pricing is appropriate for the variety & quantity of portions served. Have eaten there several times & will definitely return soon. Reservations are taken & the interior decor is modern & upscale, with small interior potted trees offering diversity & privacy to the table seating arrangements. Some outdoor terrace seating is available too. An inside Bar area offers a casual seating alternative for singles or couples to dine & talk.

We ate here after seeing the Magic show just down the block. Very noisy inside. I ordered the Meat pizza. Most the large meat slices were burnt black so I had my year's quota of carbon. Pic attached. Hubby had the Pepperoni pizza which was delicious but also had burnt sections on the crust. Service was excellent. Very comfortable chairs.

The Food and service were fantastic- We arrived as a party of 4 to take advantage of happy hour which ended at 5- We stayed on and ordered some dinner plates to share - well worth coming back and being a regular. Our server was great as well

First of all, the service here is amazing. You can tell that the staff truly care about and take pride in their work and are very attentive and well mannered. Secondly, the beef carpaccio was honest to goodness the best I've ever had. Chicken piccata (pictured) was enough for two people and wonderful. I wish I took a picture of the Chicken Parmesan my dad ordered, I had a bite and would absolutely order that in the future. I got the braised short rib (also pictured) and it was perfect. Kiki's is genuinely the best restaurant I have eaten at in the entire desert area. I cannot wait to come back again and again because although I'm a creature of habit, everything was so good that I want to work my way through the entire menu! Definitely recommend.

You MUST go here!! We celebrated my best friend's bachelorette on a Saturday night and the entire staff and owner and everything in between needs to be praised. We were a large group (14 women) and we had reached out to the event coordinator in advance and they provided us with all the information we needed and what the layout of the preset menu would include, they were completely transparent with the cost and everything. Trust me, it was more than enough food and we even had some leftovers!! They started us off with wine and the first appetizers came out swiftly, we devoured the plate and before you even knew it the next appetizer was out. The meatballs....oh my god. Please get them!! I couldn't even take a picture because we ate them so fast. The bread...perfection. The Margherita pizza....the basil....I will be dreaming out this. The cacio de Pepe pasta...drooling. I didn't want the food to end but my waistband could only take so much. The bartenders even gave us free shots that were absolutely delicious and the drinks were definitely flowing! River, you are a star!! The waiters also didn't even let our water cups reach being empty, let me tell you, 14 girls drinking, we needed that. The staff was so pleasant and fun and everyone had a smile!! They were laughing and dancing with us and that is something you don't often see! You really felt the family vibe with the staff. The owner and the staff made this trip so memorable for the bride to be, we have been home for a few days and I am still thinking of everything! The owner, Nicky, let the bachelorette even turn on the disco ball which absolutely fit right into our theme (Mama Mia)! He has created the best vibe and I hope many more get to enjoy it! The food, the dance floor, the ambiance, absolutely everything was 100/100! Please go here and show some love! WE LOVE KIKI'S!!

Literally RUN, don't walk! Food, service, ambiance = 10/10! Went for New Years Eve last year and it was so good, I'm going back again this year! Drinks were flowing, music was playing and the food just can't be beat. We needed a spot like this in the desert and now we have one! My mouth is watering just thinking about it

We walked in Saturday evening without reservations since when we tried to call. The hostess welcomed us to eat and drink at the bar. We enjoyed the 3 wonderful bartenders (River,Mark and Ty) and their recommendations. The pasta was outstanding. The himachi crudo was very tasty however we noticed it was missing the mint,basil and pistachios (possibly chives too unless that was within the oil). We were able to get the pistachios on the side,however with the upscale of the restaurant, next time I order it I hope they catch those special add ons that were missing before it leaves the kitchen. It was great and we look forward to returning

My wife and I went to celebrate our daughters and her daughters birthdays in La Quinta from Orange County. Food was excellent! It is basically an Italian higher end establishment. A bit noisy, but manageable. All food items were great. Service was top notch. Parking easy as always in La Quinta. I have no complaints. The prices were fair. No complaints.

Kiki owner Allie - I provided an honest and accurate review on and was not asking questions. The experience was one that no customer should ever have at a restaurant and I was embarrassed to have brought an out of town guest. Yes, the waiter said he did not have a dessert menu and I was charged $12 for each scoop of gelato that you said should have been $7.50. Per your request I would be happy to give you feedback directly about the lack of food quality and bad experience. If only your response told me how to reach you? I finally got through to the restaurant and your staff refused to give me some way to reach you by phone. As well, it would be appreciated if you would reverse the $130 charge once we connect. Thanks

I'm a spoiled foodie (PDX/NY/LA) and have been sad to discover that the desert is short of great dining options. I was so excited to try this restaurant out after hearing about it and let me tell you the food was creative, high quality and so amazing! I absolutely loved every single dish. Not only that but I felt that the value was there. The only downside is the lighting is SO BRIGHT at dinner. As someone who works in events for major brands and creates experiential moments through a marketing lense I implore this wonderful spot to please turn the lights down, uplight the small trees, add some faux candles and mood lighting. I guarantee you will do even better. I will def return but not for a date or relaxing evening as bright lighting at dinner is my arch nemesis but I'll return during daylight hours. Just excited to find a gem like this out in the desert!

I love this place wish a knew about it sooner everything is so good and the staff is amazing attentive we had a large birthday party. If you like classy amazing food you can't get just anywhere go here! Clearly made with love my wife and I will be back!

We love Kiki's! Great food, friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Definitely check out if you are in town

Very good food and service. Space is very cute. Had a Margherita pizza, Caesar, Bolognese pasta and tiramisu . Pizza was sublime albeit a tad greasy. Caesar was very good. Could have used a crouton or two. Bolognese was served lukewarm (and server said "careful the plate is hot!) but it was delicious. Service was excellent and it's definitely a great place. Will definitely return.

Giving this place 2 stars because the ambiance and decor was fun! All of the food we received was burnt or an absolute salt bomb and to top it off our server didn't even check in once. We had to flag him down to tell him that the steak was way too salty. After that, he didn't check in to see how the rest of my family's food tasted. If he did we would've told him that the chicken piccata was burnt to a crisp and the broccoli rabe was also a freaking salt bomb. The food is not worth the price and the fact that our server never checked in is wild to me. Not trying to be rude but you can get better quality at Olive Garden.

We went to this newer restaurant because of the great reviews and KIki is one of our daughter's nicknames. Not only did we discover that Kiki was the owner's daughter's nickname but we discovered a new go-to place every time we are in the Coachella Valley. We started with the Homemade Focaccia and Caesar Salad and although both were outstanding, the Focaccia was a real standout. Our family of 4 all had pasta and everything from the presentation to taste was incredible. I LOVE Bucatini Cacio e Pepe and this was the best I've ever had. The table next to us ordered the full portion of Chicken Parmigiana and it was massive and they looked very happy as they were eating it. The service and vibe were fun and energetic and we will be recommending Kiki's to our friends and family.

everything we tried there was amazing from the appetizers to the desserts!! top notch restaurant with a family feel!! The servers were very professional too!

Best restaurant we ate at while in La Quinta. Everything we had was delicious. Pictures of main dishes. Drinks were great as well.

Incredible!!!! Beyond the food, the customer service was TOP TIER! I felt truly cared for & loved. lol like seriously. I was sitting in a corner bar top table away from the busyness & still I was given so much attention. Pasta- perfect. I just need bigger portions lol. Can't wait to come back!!

The bread! Loved that they make their own bread. Celebrated Mother's Day this year here. We were welcomed quickly by very friendly hosts. Services were also friendly, regularly checked on us. And the ambiance was great. Decor and style was awesome.

Really... this fun energetic young restaurant is headed for great success... finally a spot near the theatres and Marvin's Magic worthy of going to. One of the owners (Sophia) an outgoing and knowledgeable young woman was there to greet us and fill us in on some revelations of the concept and interpretation of this new gem in our desert... River and Mark at the bar we're friendly and helpful in all aspects of... cocktails wine food choices... it was truly a win win evening and hope to make this one of our go to places... Mangia e divertiti

I have been wanting to try Kikis for a while and while I must say I was quite disappointed. Although the atmosphere and vibe was overall nice food was mediocre at best. We had Caesar salad, tried the pepperoni pizza and vodka pasta, focaccia bread. For 120$ It was not worth it at all. Service was good and staff were great at checking in. But just alone 100+ dollars for pizza,salad and pasta with average flavor I probably won't be back.

Save yourself, don't waste your time waiting, money, and your hearing. Claiming to be an Italian restaurant with pizza that was thin crust okay but then you add honey drizzled with olive oil on top and pepperoni? The pizzas were tasteless, soggy, and our grandchildren didn't even like it. What kid doesn't like pizza? Can they keep the house music at a level 0. Also cool it on the salt in the pasta. Disappointing. Ruined my Friday.

It's a beautiful place. The food was great, authentic and lots of flavor. It's really pricey and for some reason my salad felt like there was little granules of something in there. So that was a little off putting as I was chewing and couldn't finish it. It made me think of sand or dirt in my salad. The service was great as well.

We went to Kiki's during their happy hour service, but nothing on their happy hour menu appeared to be happy hour pricing. We ended up paying nearly $20 for one of the worst Margherita pizzas I have ever had. The quality of the ingredients and flavors reminded me of Chef Boyardee and the sauce tasted like the marinara you receive with frozen Marie Callender meals. In comparison, one of the best pizza-makers in the country, Chris Bianco, sells his Margherita pizzas for $22.00 and they don't have a happy hour. This was the last and only time we will be dining at Kiki's.

Goodness gracious - go now! The pizza - 10 omg The cocktails 10 The service- classic Ace warm and welcoming The crudo - order as a starter - fav River was amazing his suggestions are above yumm! The ambiance- everything we needed in LQ Such a vibe - cheers Kikis well done.

Went at 3.30 Sunday afternoon for an early dinner. The place is almost empty, and we actually left because only a Happy Hour and salads menu is available until 4:30. These people are losing money. It's the height of the season and Paribas is happening. We drove to Stuft and the place is packed at 3:40. Kiki's should rethink their business model. If you have staff and overhead, offer your full menu!
