43 Best Italian Restaurants in Albuquerque

“My wife and I make better Italian food than any place in town with one exception, Piatanzi. Their pomodoro is as good as any I've ever had.“

“Absolutely delicious, for all ages -- adults and kids. We just had dinner delivered to our home, and the food was cooked to perfection, the recipes were amazing, and this restaurant is now our top go-to when we want Italian food! When a picky toddler eats enthusiastically and for the first time insists that her leftovers be saved for later, AND similarly picky adults inhale their dinner, there can be no higher praise! The taste reminded me, an "old fogey," of how restaurant food USED to taste... the old deliciousness that has been lost in most places. If you want that sense of being lavished on with love through food... try this place!“

“Best New York pizza in ABQ“

“Love Tomato Cafe, the service and food are always OUTSTANDING!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trombino’s Italian Bistro is a hidden gem in Albuquerque! I had the chicken parmesan and it was easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The mozzarella was perfectly melted, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the portion size was more than generous. You can taste the love in every bite! The wine selection is great, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff made me feel right at home. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food with top-notch service—this is it! Already planning my next visit. Highly recommend! 🍝🍷🔥“

“We had to have a quick lunch and drove by here, and said give it a try. SO happy we did it. Quick, quick service and they were slammed that day. I got one of the specials with prosciutto which I thought wod be super thin so I asked for more and it was intense but really good. Fresh made, quickly, tasty and presentable. Will be coming back here often.“

“Excellent pizza since 1987 if I’m correct.“

“We love your weekly wine pairing dinners, M'tucci's!“

“Food was refreshingly good. Have had some inconsistency in the past. My whole family was there to celebrate a birthday and we're able to be seated in a semi private section. Not my first choice personally but it will always be a spot that my family goes for celebrations and for that I will always appreciate this location of the Olive Garden.“

“Finally tried Mario’s after reading some great comments on the Neighborhood app. So glad I did! Pizza was the best I’ve had in Albuquerque. Freaking delicious!“

“I love all the M’Tucci restaurants! Always great service and welcoming! Also I like the fact that each one has some items on their menu that is common to all four but each chef has specialties that they create unique to their particular restaurant!“

“a great community watch out for fent hopefully they will take it off the market“

“Sat right away for a Sat at 6pm I was happy. Waitress said hi pretty quickly but took a bit to come back which was fine since we were ready to order. We ordered dipping sauce. The breadsticks came around with the drinks but no sauce. Salad came out a little before the sauce and no sooner did we take our first bite of salad did our entrees show up. The waitress was apologetic regarding the timing and whatnot with the kitchen. All in all not a bad experience. She was very nice, the chicken Alfredo was the best I’ve had at this location.“

“The food is fresh and delicious. The service is first rate.A big attraction for us is the gluten free menu and most excellent. Our server was helpful and explained the dinner options and had great wine recommendations. It is the kind of superb service we are used to. Paisano's ambiance is understated elegance. We have been enjoying Paisano's for nearly 20 years. It is an exceptional restaurant and that keeps us coming back year after year.“

“Excellent artwork and pizza“

“Bonito lugar para comer 🍽️ en familia lo recomiendo 💯 por ciento 🤗🍕🍻“

“Every aspect of this experience was positive. My husband and I were promptly greeted with kindness. Our appetizer Bat & Ball was absolutely Delicious. the sausage and meatballs are made in house with bold savory and mouthwatering seasoning, cooked perfect. My Diablo shrimp was tasty with a spicy kick. great portion too! my husband devoured his chicken piccata! then on top dessert. we had cannolis. Regular and chocolate dipped both scrumptious crispy and savory! I highly recommend! Family business and friendly atmosphere.“

“Fun, energetic place with friendly, attentive servers and delicious food. We were told there was a long wait when we got there on Friday night. Lots of good restaurants are having trouble finding enough workers. We sat outside because some of us have hearing issues and it's noisy inside. The patio seating is good, but it faces Montgomery. There's a surrounding wall and unless you have a noisy motorcycle going by it's not too loud It has good cover overhead. It took a while to get our drinks served & a while to get our food but they were attentive and kept checking in and saying they knew we were waiting. The bolognese was flavorful, chunky & plentiful and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The chicken wings were spicy and delicious. The drinks were 🍸 fabulous. They have new owners & will be changing their name and updating their menu. Worth a look“

“We were visiting and looking for a great Italian restaurant. This was rated a 4.7, and I can understand why. The service was a 5, the food was definitely 👌 a 10 if that was possible. Our waitress had the prettiest smile and very, very friendly. If we're ever in Albuquerque we will be dining there again.

“We ordered our wedding cake and food from Tully’s and it was the hit of our night! Excellent food and beautiful cake!“

“Great service. Really like the food. Love the large bowl of salad that they bring, but it's just iceberg lettuce for the greens. Dinner plates avg $17.00 to 20 definitely a fair amount of food. They do have a full bar.

Vegetarian options: A lot of dishes have a choice to add meat or not.

Dietary restrictions: They did have a gluten free option i think.

Parking: On premises just north of the building. Gets packed.“

“OMG this is my new FAV restaurant in Albq!!! Everything we ordered was completely wonderful!!! I'm upset that we didn't eat here sooner!! Fabulous food, huge cheesecake, great customer service. We'll be back for sure!“

“Amazing service and great food and this is now my favorite place and I more than recommend you give them a try and you will be happy“

“super good food for such a great price! Two lanes really make the traffic difference“

“We held an organizational Brunch at M'tucci's Bar Roma and could not have been more pleased! Amanda, one of the Managers, was exceptionally helpful, responsive and accommodating through the planning process. She and her wonderful Staff made our event special through their attentive, friendly service and room set up. Food was delicious, atmosphere of the room/restaurant was inviting and we will definitely book future engagements with them!“

“My favorite pizza!
This is hands down one of the best pizza places around! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The owners truly go above and beyond — you can tell they care about their customers and their craft. The service is warm and welcoming, and the restaurant is always spotless, which shows the pride they take in keeping everything clean and comfortable. The attention to detail, from the quality of ingredients to the way everything is presented, really sets them apart. I love that they even offer free samples — such a thoughtful touch that makes you feel valued as a customer. Highly recommend to anyone who loves great pizza and great people! 🍕👏 and shout out to the owner who always makes sure you are satisfied with their service.“

“I worked at Scarpas for many years. I loved the staff, I worked at Academy. The Owner is an amazing man. He really treated his staff so good. The food is the BEST. Hands down. God Bless Scarpas. I will forever miss this restaurant! Xoxo“

“As of today, best burger plate ever, meaning usually it’s one or the other at other places, but this place the burger AND the fried were delicious. From the bun, to the patty to the sauce, I will definitely be back! Customer service excellent. Our waitress was top. All of my family’s plates were delicious. So glad to find a great place to eat.“

“Huge portions and food prices reasonable. Great service. Very helpful…“

“This place is always a go to spot for some unique pizza. On this visit I ended up ordering the “Jefe Pepe” and a ball of mozzarella to cook with later. The pizza is always tasty, with a nice crunch with each bite. The mozzarella is always made in house and hella fresh. Great quality. Just ask to buy a ball. I’ll order a different pizza on my next visit.“

“a pizza staple in Albuquerque for many years. best pizza in town“

“This is my absolute FAVORITE place. Their California Harvest Market salad is my favorite salad in the entire city. I’m vegetarian so I eat a lot of salads and this one is my go-to every single time. All the ingredients are fresh and the dressing is light enough that it doesn’t over power the salad but heavy enough that you don’t feel it’s missing. I also love the Penne Pasta. It’s again very fresh and has amazing flavor. The service is amazing every time I go (which has been pretty much weekly) and the food comes out quick. Highly, highly recommend this place!“

“We celebrated our wedding anniversary tonight at Amore and they went out of their way to make it special for us. Recommend them 100%. Great food and people!“

“Had a little celebration dinner for my son and it was amazing great service“

“Great restaurant! Always enjoy the atmosphere and very clean.“

“The pizza was Fantastic! But the place was filthy and the two gals working just now we’re not friendly at all. ( 6/12/21 12:30-1:30) Didn’t even look up when we came in and forget even a smile…oh and the one who took my order put the cups mount side down on a filthy countertop, then actually got irritated when I asked for new cups and for her to hand them to me. The cook was a doll, though and was so happy when I told him how much we enjoyed our pie. Get someone in there to clean the place up and maybe the two girls can get a personality…other than that I Highly recommend GoodFellas in Los Lunas to anyone who wants outstanding pizza!“

“Waitress was new, but it was ok. Food was good.“

“I wouldn't recommend working here. I was employed here for 2 years, and I regret it because I wasn't being treated fairly with my hours, nor was I given any opportunities to try to advance my career there.“

“Please assemble cup holders correctly or get more sturdy ones, we stopped there before taking my son to school, he wanted to get drinks for his friends. As soon as he lifted the holder to get out of the car.. the drinks fell through. Not only was he embarrassed about the drop but also disappointed he couldn’t get the drinks to his classmates. Please address the issue with the cup holders so this don’t gap to anyone else. Love this place BTW“

“Absolutely fantastic place!!! From friendly helpful service when ordering for delivery, to receiving absolutely delicious fried ravioli, marinara, and pizza, with salad and housemade Italian dressing, it was scrumptious!!!! The top quality ingredients and recipes make for wonderful food!!!“

“We wanted to give a one bite review. (7.4) It started a bit rocky, we were given a Chicago style pizza with no sauce on it… But then they totally redeemed themselves. When we were given a true Chicago style pizza it was delicious! I WILL go back! A bit pricy, but it is a very good pizza. Now I have never had a Chicago style pizza in Chicago, but this is a good pizza. I recommend!“
