Tursi’s Latin King has a lot of great Italian dishes, but if you want to try something you won’t find anywhere else in town, order the chicken spiedini. Read more

Great restaurant, and Bob & Carol Tursi were great to work with for planning a rehearsal dinner _____ years ago. The Latin King is still a special place for our family.

The crispy zucchini was delicious and huge! Ask for Tim for your waiter. He's the best!

This is my "seal the deal" restaurant. Great food on every line of the menu. I'm a sucker for their fried chicken livers, but it's a great pasta joint.

Had a disturbing exp. today at lunch Ordered my fav Chicken Spedini &it was served hardly luke warm. Not only once, but TWICE!? Excuse given by waiter was the cooks were busy on their new iphones?!

When in season, the Strawberry Shortcake is a MUST. It's BIG, so plan to share w/a friend.

If it's spring, two words: STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE! It's like my Mom used to make.

The hostess this evening and the manager on duty should never be allowed to speak to the public as they have zero sense of customer service and were disgustingly rude.
Stephanie MyersMarch 24, 2013
Left disappointed. Ordered the lasagna and was given a saucy pile of mush. This restaurant did not live up to its reputation.

Their wine recommendations are reliable.
