40 Best Italian Restaurants in Albuquerque

“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“

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

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

“This is still the best location. Best food best staff and management. I know everyone is excited about the new one but I find this location really has its groove down so to speak. I would just keep going here in all honesty. I think the new location needs to really find themselves and get a good little flow going. Get the right people hired. The current staff are meh.

But this location? Its consistently good.
This is my definite choice bar none.“

“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’ve eaten there twice now, and it’s been outstanding both times. Very upscale local authentic Italian pizza and pasta restaurant and bar. My daughter devoured the mozzarella sticks and meatball calzone. I can’t stop thinking about the eggplant parm! Best Cesar dressing, and the Calamari came with the freshest house made pesto in addition to marinara. It’s definitely a bustling atmosphere, but a great place for a family meal or casual date night. I’ll be back whenever I’m in town.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Celebrated a Birthday dinner and the food was excellent! However, our server; who we had before was a disappointment again. Lack of attention and poor memory as to who ordered what and handing over the food across the table rather than standing next to the person and putting it down. We've been a customer since you opened in 1979.“

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

“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.“

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!“

“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…“

“Just ordered possibly the tastiest salad I've ever had. Honestly couldn't have been better. The freshest, balanced, and most abundant ingredients, apple, beets, goat cheese, toasted walnuts, etc. Friendly, nice folks as well. 😊❤️“

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

“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.“

“Great for and great service! The Albuquerque Turkey sub is delish. My wife had green chile Alfredo with chicken. She's now convinced that Alfredo must have green Chile!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!“
