33 Best Italian Restaurants near Rio Rancho

“absolutely amazing food. for two of us with appetizers and two full meals very affordable at a price of $104. it was absolutely worth it. thank you so much for a beautiful night.“

“Had a mediocre experience here over a decade ago and just rarely thought to go back, but we were craving pasta today, and Joe’s Pasta definitely changed (though the food is the same deliciousness as before!) Our waiter Hugo made the experience today so amazing! He was so sweet and cheerful. It’s lovely to see someone who loves their job and the place they work. Drinks were never empty, dirty plates never left on the table, and we took home two desserts at his recommendation. We will be back!!“

“We love Aldo's and have been coming here for years. my fiance is from NY and he's so happy to have NY Pizza here in New Mexico.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Luca runs a great happy hour menu and has a nice cozy atmosphere at the bar counter or tables. You can have a good variety of small plates to share with friends or family. I found the customers seated at the bar counter to be very friendly.“

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

“Olive Garden delivered on service and the quality of the food. I could of done with my soup being a bit hotter than just warm... but it was delicious so that made up for that. Can't go wrong with this place for a great dinning experience.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My better half got a heaping gyro that came with a Greek salad that included beats. She ate half. Yay, for leftovers.
I wasn't feeling great so the chef made me an off menu simple chicken and rice dish. I really appreciate when staff are able to make accommodations. It's a reflection of their character and that of the owners! Thx Green Z!!!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

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