We hadn't been here in years since we lived out of state for many years. I'm glad we thought to come here again. The food was delicious, and the service was amazing. Perfect place to have a nice relaxing lunch with my family.Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly. However, it is self seating and alot of the tables are high top.
Having spent a few weeks in another part of NM for work, which didn't have decent pizza, I tried this place. I figured woodfired pizza was going to hit the spot. However, I was disappointed here. The atmosphere was nice. Open and airy, with an outdoor patio as well. But, the service is mediocre. Patrons are requested to order at the counter before seating themselves, so really no service other than someone bring your food and drinks to your table once they spot the number on a stick given to you when you order. The real dissatisfaction was the pizza itself. Under cooked was the start. It was browned, but not even the crust was crispy. The toppings were flavorful, but the crust was very bland. I would recommend another pizza place, but being from out of town, I don't have any.

Solid option for dining out and a place we go to whenever we have a craving for their pizza, since the food is consistently good and you get what you expect. The atmosphere is nice; relaxed, casual, "urban Italian" is how I would describe it. Staff is friendly and relatively attentive. Pricing is good and, notably, hasn't gone up as much as many other places have in the past few years which, I appreciate...and they've maintained the same quality and portions as well Really no complaints...if you're looking for a unique dining experience at a reasonable price and love pizza, you should really like il Vicino...great place for date night or with the family also...

We’ve been going to Il Vincino off and on for years both in Albuquerque and Denver. I don’t know how the other franchises are doing, but this one off Corrales Road was somewhat disappointing compared to what I remembered from years ago. Atmosphere no bueno for date night. Food okay but needs improvement. Staff don’t seem happy.On the plus side, It is possible to order vegan or vegetarian here. I got a build your own 7inch pizza and Jack got a vegetable calzone. His was better than mine. Sorry, no photos. Food not photo-worthy.Vegetarian options: You have to pick and choose ingredients and ask for non-vegetarian ingredients to be left out.Parking: This restaurant is in a shopping center called Corrales Shopping Center which has a large lot.

Everything we had was delicious! I was not aware that you order at the front counter and then sit with a number. By no means did that take away from the experience. The servers were attentive, and the food was exceptional. I look forward to trying all of the pizzas!
Not my first visit. Everytime I come to Il Vicino's they're prompt, professional and DELICIOUS!! Last visit was MLK day and it was a buzz, but not overtly busy; the atmosphere is always laid back and vibrant.I would highly recommend the ceasar salad with anchovies to pair with ANY pizza; you can't miss!They also have amazing in house drafted root beer! However if that's not your thing, they also have a few flavors of pellegrino which happens to be a favorite of mine ^_^

Service can be spotty but food is awesome and prices can't be beat for the quality of the product.
Had a quick late lunch.For me an odd experience. Order and pay for the meal before you find a seat. No getting comfortable and then ordering.Food was ok, warm not hot but the staff was very attentive.

Food is fine. I had soup and my companions had pizza and sandwiches. They all tasted fine. This is more like a nicer fast food place. You order at the counter after viewing a stand up menu. There are salads, pizzas, sandwiches and pasta dishes and limited soup. They serve wine. Once seated, a server will bring food and you'll not see them again until they come to pick up dishes. Not bad service but just what you'd expect from fast food type places. I'm sure I'll go again some time but not a place for a date.Vegetarian options: By food description you can see what does not contain meat.Parking: Located in a strip mall, so parking more limited during busy times.Kid-friendliness: Okay for kids but not my first choice if trip is for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible. Should be able to maneuver around tables.
