My girlfriend and I came in tonight and honestly... wow…read more I got the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and she got the Pesto Penne with chicken added, and both dishes were incredible. I've eaten a lot of Italian food over the years, and this was easily some of the best I've had. The Alfredo was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor without feeling heavy. The pesto penne was fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. We kept trading bites because we couldn't decide which one was better. Even before the entrees came out, the salad and bread were amazing. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. Nothing felt rushed or mass-produced. You can tell there is real pride behind the food here. What stood out just as much was the hospitality. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and made us feel genuinely appreciated. We had the chance to chat with the owner's mother before leaving, and that level of warmth really reflects what this restaurant is about. It's rare to find a place where every part of the meal hits, from the bread and salad all the way to the last bite of pasta,but Lorenzo's absolutely delivered. We'll be back, and we'll be bringing friends and family with us. If you're in Las Cruces and wondering whether this place is worth trying, the answer is yes.

I ordered delivery tonight, and was extremely disappointed in the chicken Piccata. , this was not…read morechicken Piccata it was more like soggy, paper thin, breaded chicken, in a lemon noodle soup, and really, that was not pulled off either. This dish was 24$! Outflippenrageous!! On the upside, I ordered the Green Chile sausage soup, and it was wonderful flavor wise. I think it was at the bottom of the pot, most of the veg was dissolved, but super delicious! I've had their pizza before, also not a fan, it's always so soggy. The topping choices are fabulous but I can't stand a wet pizza. But I love their chicken fettuccine alfredo!! So, in all, I now realize that I should've known when I couldn't find 1 review for the Piccata, it was not well liked. My advice, get the green chile soup, green chile alfredo or regular alfredo w/grilled chicken, and you'll be happy.

The only negative was that it took awhile to get our check after we were done. A nice find in Mesilla.

We went with a group of 15 (wife's siblings and spouses)…read more All I can say is that this was the best "large group" experience of my entire life. Usually, large group seatings brings service glitches, food glitches, less than optimal food temperatures and less than optimal drinks service. Trattoria Bella Sera absolutely nailed our experience with professional perfection every single element of the experience. Our group cherishes the times we can be all together and this wonderful experience is deeply appreciated by all of us. The food: Just stand out in all regards from the simplest pasta and red sauce (in my case, the cherished puttanesca which I make often at home) to the seafood and pasta white sauces, to the appetizers which we all shared (OMG, try the mushrooms in cream sauce and the bread and garlic!). The service: a single waitress took all our orders and she was just perfect. The plate delivery and eventual removal was a team effort and all were served at the same moment. Even the plate removal was done perfectly by the waitress and the bus lady. The dining room: We were set aside and a little out of the way of other dinners in a large high ceilinged room with really exceptional lighting and decors. Result was it was quiet enough that we could comfortably talk before, during and after the dinner which really added to the whole experience. The cost: One of the siblings picked up the tab but simple pasta plates are mostly $18 (my puttanesca was $2 additional and very worth it), then the $24 pasta and protein plates, then the $26 higher end plates and the $30 3-course plates. Note that most pasta plates are served in deep bowls with 1/3 of the sauce at the bottom and very hot so that the entire dish stays hot through the meal. Star ratings: If I could give them a 6 star rating I would.

We had their Tuscan Tortellini with shrimp and it was absolutely delicious. Because they prepare their food with an artisan approach the ingredients (including the pasta) was so fresh and possessed great seasoning and texture! Their website also made it so easy and straight forward to order online for a takeaway pick up. Highly recommended! Thank you Zeffiro's and thank you Las Cruces (we were just passing through, you see!) : )

Updating my review of this amazing spot for moles just to add some more photos and details. Many…read moremoles later, this place is still my very favorite place for moles. They are simply magic here both in terms of flavor complexity and texture. Their texture here is truly the best. I literally was licking the plate at the end of each of these. I tried all four of their moles as plates and also as a sampler on four different occasions and all are very complex, rich, creamy and satisfying. -Mole Poblano. "A not so sweet ajillo pepper mole sauce with traditional ingredients and a touch of Oaxaca chocolate." This was the first we tried here and what brought us back for more. -Mancha Manteles mole: This mole is described on their menu as: "Sweet pineapple, red apples, fried plantain and a wonderful choice of spices make this mole a great and unique experience". This mole like their other ones came out piping hot, creamy, thick, complex and delicious. -Mole Negro: Chichilo pepper and tomatillo mole sauce with a smoky taste and a hint of ash. -Mole Verde o Pipian. Toasted pumpkin seeds and tomatillo mole sauce with a hint of hoja santa (root beer plant) My husband and I get their enmoladas stuffed with vegetables and get double serving of the black beans (rice has chicken stock so we avoid it to keep the meal vegan/ vegetarian). The plates are always piping hot and soooo yummy. When they have all four moles available they offer a sampler as well. We did this on our last visit and it was fun to revisit the 4 moles we had their side by side and compare them. I really love the ambiance out on the peaceful patio and there's cover form the sun. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good.

My husband, dog and me went to Paisano Cafe for the first time. We sat in the patio area which is…read moredog friendly. The patio is very peaceful, but could use some fans or misters. It also has beautiful views of the Organ mountains. The service was great. Friendly waiter. I ordered the shrimp fettuccine with tequila-lime sauce. Everything tasted fresh. The sauce was creamy, but had no flavor of lime or tequila. It also lacked salt. My husband ordered the vegan poblano pepper. The pepper was not well steamed. It was stuffed with vegetables, but it needed a side of rice. It didn't come with anything. We also got the mole sampler which came witha few tortilla chips. The tomatillo pepian was a little spicy. All lacked a little flavor and salt. I ordered a chicken breast for my dog. It was a little rubbery and dryish when I cut it. But my doggy ate it anyway.

My husband and I were really excited to try this restaurant after hearing so many great reviews…read more Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to our expectations. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with fried chicken. The chicken was cooked well, but the Alfredo sauce tasted like it was store-bought rather than homemade. I also added the potato and sausage soup for an extra $1.99, and it reminded me of a less flavorful version of Olive Garden's soup. Considering the prices on the menu, I was surprised that soup or salad wasn't included with the meal. My husband ordered the steak, and it was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. We also really enjoyed the garlic olive oil with bread and the spinach and artichoke dip--both were definite highlights of the meal. One thing that caught us off guard was the drinks. We each ordered a soda, but instead of receiving fountain drinks, we were each given individual bottles. I'm not sure if they don't have a soda fountain or if it's their way of serving soft drinks, but it felt a little unusual, especially given the higher prices. Overall, the food was a mix of hits and misses. While the steak, appetizers, and bread were excellent, the pasta and soup left us disappointed. We may come back for the steak and appetizers, but probably not for the Italian dishes we originally came to try.

Great selection on the menu. I opted for a bowl of the Cream of Potato and Sausage soup, which was excellent. The sausage had a little bit of kick, but just enough to keep it interesting. I opted for traditional spaghetti and meatballs for my entree. I added the side salad for $1.99. The salad was definitely a side salad but worth the extra $2. There were a few brown leaves of lettuce in there, but nothing to complain about. The bread brought to the table was excellent and I always enjoy a little oil and garlic to go with the table bread. The meatballs were large and excellent, and the accompanying meat sauce was also excellent. Spaghetti portion was big enough that I didn't finish it all. Beer selection is a little limited, I opted for Dos Equis. I believe all the beer comes in bottles, as does the pop. I'd definitely stop back in here again when in the area.

We came in a Monday about 40 minutes before closing and it seemed like they were getting ready to end the night. No one else was in the restaurant though there were a couple people at the bar. We told them we just wanted something fast and would be in and out quickly and were seated quickly at a booth. Our waitress was amazing and still kind and energetic though it was the end of day. Free bread with garlic balsamic olive oil, bread was warm and they were very generous with the amount of dried garlic. Margherita pizza: we picked the most standard one and it was odd. Instead of cheese and fresh basil it had slices of tomato and dried basil. Crust was underdone and there was way too much cheese on it. Italian nachos: Crispy pasta chips, black olives, pepperoncinis, Roma tomatoes, jalapeños, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella and parmesan. We had it with chicken and it was interesting but drowning in Alfredo sauce.

Very nice place, quite big but nicely decorated…read more It works both as a restaurant and pizzeria. Very often the place hosts music events. Their specialization is grilled meat. I tried both their pizza and their famous mixed grilled meat. Pizza is Neapolitan-like and it is good even if not so authentic. Nice dressings and good floppy crust. They are good on grilling, but don't expect anything crazy good... just good without any bad remarks. Professional service and very nice hosts. Cool spot!
