    Vegetarian lasagna - A bowl of vegetarian lasagna with melted cheese and spinach, served on a wooden table, with a fork nearby.
    Greg B.

    We enjoyed a perfect lunch at Piazza Caffe. We thoroughly enjoyed the tasty, hand crafted grissini (breadsticks), the warm, buttery focaccia with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, the vegetarian lasagna with spinach broad noodles, and tiramisu. The dining room has tables and plush booths. The ambience is relaxed and chic. The service is very attentive and friendly. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality and ample servings. Everything was perfect. Well worth the drive to the south end of town.

    I have seen some of the negative reviews posted and I can only offer the explanation that those MUST have been simple growing pains for a new restaurant. We had a WONDEFUL experience and I am hard to please. My wife, who studied in Italy and craves the authentic cuisine and fresh made pasta really insisted we give them a try. I was VERY pleasantly surprised. We started with cocktails, a couple of different Negroni variations (the menu has an entire list of wonderful, authentic and imaginative spins on this classic cocktail). We followed with one of the better Caesar Salads I can remember eating. The dressing was anchovy forward in a very good way, with delicate piles of Parmesan on top and house made croutons. Our server was nervous at first, greeting our table with a shy, "you have made decisions?" but quickly grew personable and friendly, joking with my wife and I by the end. He could maybe use a little more training, but honestly, I loved him. He is going to be great with more experience. My wife loved her Cacio e Pepe, a simple but subtly complex dish that is hard to pull off well. The kitchen clearly knows what they are doing. The fresh, handmade Pasta and simple but perfectly chosen ingredients made this dish. My Eggplant Parmigiana was delicious, arriving in a molten hot serving dish covered lightly in glorious melted cheese. I'm very picky about the preparation of eggplant and clearly the kitchen is as well. It was very rich, so I got full about halfway through. It could have maybe used a side of pasta to cut the richness. Otherwise, perfection. If you remember Rustica, you know the ambiance is a kind of professional casual. Wooden table tops and tiled floors keep this a more family style affair, though if they'd wanted to, they could have chosen to go even higher end with white table clothes, the food is that good. I'm glad they kept it family casual and friendly. The landscaping is even gorgeous with the roses and other flowers all in full bloom. Do not sleep on this place! The negative reviews were very early on and I can understand them. It is hard to realize a full vision, but Piazza has one and they seem to really be hitting their stride.

    I really wanted to like it. Calamari was good minus the sauce that was way too thick. Got regular spaghetti with meatballs (14 upcharge for meatballs) and it was inedible. I tried to take home and add some cheese but its bitter and meatballs and so fatty. I do want to say our server, I believe her name is Davinity or Divina, was amazing. Very attentive, very friendly, and super knowledgeable about the menu. I was very disappointed spending 50 bucks. I understood its still a new spot so hopefully things are worked out in time.

    The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a big waiting room with plenty of seating space. The food was awesome. The lasagna was very interesting and different than any lasagna I have ever had. The pizza was 10/10 for me and had the perfect thin and crispy crust. I did not like the spaghetti, but the other guests at my table enjoyed it. When it comes to dessert I was blown away. The dark chocolate gelato was to die for. I don't like tiramisu but I tried it here and I was pleasantly surprised that I did like it. The waitress told us the almond cookies with chocolate were a big hit, we ordered them to try, and they were awesome! I would definitely recommend checking this place out. Finally, our waitress and overall service was great.

    What a welcome addition to southern Santa Fe! If you're looking for an American version of Italian food, this restaurant may not be your preference. It has an authentic Italian menu. The spaghetti pomodoro, pork Milanese with roasted potatoes, and green salad take me back to a recent trip to Tuscany. I also tried their brunch menu on the outdoor patio one morning and the bacon fritatta and French toast were a breath of fresh air compared to the standard breakfast fare up and down Cerrillos Rd. Bravo to the chef and staff for this special local restaurant!

My main disappointment the food is overpriced. The pasta dishes were pretty good, but not nearly $30 worth. The pizza crust is kinda doughy, which makes it feel heavier than expected... and also like it should cost less. I think if I'd dined in, the atmosphere would have pushed it up a bit, but on its own we were surprised by the bill.

Wait: I made dinner reservations for 6:45pm and upon arrival, the host/bartender asked everyone who had reservations and who is a walk in. A walk-in party of two were seated before us. We informed the host we had reservations, but when another customer came in, the host overlooked my party and my husband had to speak up to let him know we had reservations. We finally got seated 10 minutes after our reservation. This is very disappointing when you have two hungry kids in tow. Drinks: The wait for the food was long. We decided to put our drink order in and we were informed a few minutes later that the Java Stout I ordered was out. I decided to pick a jalapeño margarita and was informed by the waiter that they ran out of margarita mix and that he would comp my drink at no extra charge as he felt the drink might not meet my expectations. The margarita wasn't terrible as I expected; however, I appreciated his gesture. Food: my husband decided to order the salchiccha (sausage) en broccoli pasta dish and when he received his plate, there was no sausage in the pasta. When we informed the waiter, he mentioned he could take the dish back because that was the cook's interpretation of the dish. Management needs to update the menu to accurately describe the dish. Anyone reading the description of that entree would have expected pieces of sausage. I ordered the fettuccine all vogole and the portion of the pasta was very small. The amount of clams were disproportionate to the amount of pasta noodles given. My plate was delicious but the portion size could improve. All in all, management has a lot of improvements to work on in order to make the customer's experience great. Our waiter was great and we still gave him a good tip because the disappointing experience we had was outside of his control and he did his best to fix things. Management needs to do better.

Located in the Plaza off of San Francisco St., we didn't realize there was it's own parking lot that is shared with others around the corner (we parked at a public structure for 5 bucks 2 blocks away). This is an order at the counter establishment of which I do not care for, especially if it's pricey (which it was). We started off with the house salad for 7.50/ea and totally not worth it (just some lettuce tomatoes and dressing with a piece of bread). 2 of us had pizzas 1 a calzone and another pasta. Pizzas were ok, but a good size for one big appetite or to share otherwise. The calzone was HUGE but my friend did not care for it (vegetarian) as she said it had too much goat cheese and lacked flavor. My friend's pasta was just average. With a bottle of cab and 2 soft drinks, the price came to a pricey 120 bucks before tip (the servers do deliver your food and drinks to the table). Would I come back here? Probably not. I have had others word of mouth that also did not care for it.

My first bowl was rigatoni with the spicy three meat sauce, which ended up actually being kinda hot. I also added Italian sausage. My second bowl was angel hair with Creamy mushroom sauce.
