So good! This is honestly my favorite place in Albuquerque for pasta. The food is always delicious, and the cooks are so nice. My only complaint is the customer service. The workers can be rude and they never greet you or make you feel welcomed. I really wish the service matched how good the food is because the pasta is amazing!
I've been a returning customer at Tulipani since the opening of Sawmill Market. I no longer live in Albuquerque, but each time I come back to visit, I go out of my way to eat here. They have a small menu that they execute flawlessly. Their fresh pasta is made to order, cooked al dente, and I love that the tulip shape helps retain the right amount of sauce. My personal favorite is the pomodoro. The creaminess of the burrata complements the tomato sauce well along with the herby pesto, and the pistachios on top add a nice, crunchy texture. My only minor critique is that I wish they'd bring back the spicy version. The green chile chicken is also worth trying if you want a creamy sauce with a New Mexican flair. They've recently opened up a location at Park Square Market (another food hall by the makers of Sawmill) in Uptown too. You can buy a bag of their fresh made pasta in a variety of flavors/shapes to cook at home.
I've stopped here a few times now and it's been pretty good! The food is served hot and fresh. I do wish there were more protein options. Currently, you can order any of the pastas and add chicken for an additional cost, but I'd love to be able to add shrimp. My favorite of the pastas I've tried is the pesto pasta served with chicken and tons of delicately shredded cheese.
Got the #1 most popular pasta dish... the green chili. Had a 3/10 on spice scale. Was amazing. They said 15 minutes and it came in 5 min. Overdeliver. Pasta was soooo fresh and tasted like it was made that day.
You'd not expect to find food of this caliber at a tiny little mixed venue - BUT - Tulipani Pasta gave us the best dish we've had ALL YEAR! = Green chili and chicken cream pasta. Thank you!
This market is super cute and once I saw housemade pasta I knew I was gonna get some. Mushroom truffle pasta was awesome, next time I'm gonna ask them to put some chicken in there and it would be perfection. Service was great, u order and they had u a little button and it goes off when it's ready. Fancy some pasta? They got great options.
Very nice place, they have a very good menu of pastas per day, the price is pretty good they also have a selection of drinks. We try like 3 different pastas and the best one was the truffle one, also this is the first place when ai try the pesto pasta in marinara sauce and it was good, different but good. The place It's convenient for an afternoon with your family or friends when they all want different things because it's located inside of a very nice food court with a variety of good food. The staff seems very busy and probably that is why the girl who is taking the orders was not so nice but I hope that changes.
The green chile chicken cream pasta was sinfully delicious. They put just the right amount of hatch chilies inside, it was spicy enough to add a kick, but not too spicy to rule out most people enjoying it. The flavors were also quite delightful. The cream sauce wasn't too watery nor was it too thick, perfect consistency, flavor, and texture. We also tried the creamy lemon pasta and that one was not as good. The flavor wasn't bad but I feel like it was missing something to really bring it home. It was just okay. They also make their pasta fresh and sell them in bulk by the pound. The service was friendly and knowledgeable, and you get the ambiance of the sawmill market food court. I would definitely go back for the green chile chicken cream pasta.
3.5 for the truffle and mushroom pasta. Good flavor, but not a lot of mushrooms. Portion size was perfect. Service was good, and the Sawmill is a great spot to grab a casual meal. Love that they have compostable containers... to bad Albuquerque doesn't have commercial compost. Perhaps the Sawmill could switch to reusable plates or bowls.
I loved the green chile chicken pasta. Loved the spicy kick. The pasta was also cooked al denote - perfection. There was also a good amount of cheese shaved on top. Service: average, not the fastest, not too slow Ambiance: Sawmill is a fun place to walk around, and it was nice and warm enough to eat outside.
The first posture is excellent and the dish with green hatch chilies Guess the right kind of spicy and since I'm in New Mexico I ate local ingredients.
This place is located inside Sawmill Market. Service was friendly. I ordered the green chile chicken pasta (When in Rome, right?) I could tell that the pasta was very fresh and the chicken had a nice flavor. Unfortunately, it was SO incredibly spicy (very heavy on the red pepper flakes) that I literally couldn't even finish it, and I really wanted to enjoy my meal. I would go back but would try something else.
Tulipani is delicious! This was my second time coming here and it was just as amazing as I remembered! I ordered the Pomodoro and it was magnificent! You should definitely try them out! The service was fast and courteous as well. Sawmill Market is busy and can be really loud, but if it's too loud for you there is also seating outside. read more

The pasta was really good and tasted very fresh. It was also quite filling for lunch. There was a little more cheese than I personally prefer, so if you're not a big cheese lover, I'd recommend asking them to go light on it. Luckily, it was easy to scrape some off. What I really loved was that the pasta is handmade -- you can definitely taste the difference. Overall, a very good and satisfying lunch. read more
Oooo Tulipani! How I love you. From the fresh pasta, to the mounds of fresh parm it truly doesn't get better. Located in the Sawmill Market- this pasta spot is one of my tops in the city. You order at the counter, received a buzzer and can explore the market while waiting for your pasta to be made fresh to order. I have tried most pastas on the menu, my favorite being the lemon! read more

The handmade pasta here caught my eye while I was browsing options at Sawmill Market. My husband and I shared the Green Chile Chicken. The chicken was a bit dry, but I loved the sauce. The green chile definitely had a kick. There were several other things I wanted to try, so I would come back again. read more
Have you ever wanted pasta without that "too full" feeling after? This is the place to fill that pasta fix. They make small batches of the pasta so it is cooked to perfection and the right portion. They then top it off with fresh cheese but feel free to ask for less or none at all. The sauce was light and creamy, with the right amount of seasoning. The chicken also was seasoned right but there wasn't the opportunity to add more to the dish. They are conveniently located as soon as you walk in and there is plenty of seating near by. read more
Now THIS is pasta. I've had pasta from eataly in NYC to the bay area, and this spot is just as good/even better in my opinion. Prices are pretty affordable pasta-market wise, and was surprisingly blown away a bit by how good it was. All the food is via ordering at the booth and then eating it at a table nearby. Great energy and a lot of options inside the market. Came with a large group of friends, so we ordered the entire menu: Creamy Lemon (4/5): Sauce is a bit thick, very lemon zesty and tangy, and cheesier due to the slight bitterness from the lemon. Very filling and delicious. Pomodoro (4/5): if you love the classic pasta with a twist, this is perfect for you. Comes with a classic pomodoro red sauce that feels lighter than regular store-bought pasta sauce. It's very smooth except for the pistachio/pesto bits which spruced up the pasta overall. I'd recommend this option as a go-to! Truffle + Mushroom (5/5): if you love truffle and mushrooms, this is for you. The truffle flavoring is pretty strong, yet not overpowering. Compared to the other two, this pasta sauce is slightly thicker than the pomodoro yet lighter than the creamy lemon. I still dream of this pasta. As a non-local, was so cool to see all the options they had, and would gladly come back the next time I'm around! read more
At Sawmill I decided on trying Tulipani and got the lemon cream chicken pasta that additionally came with capers. It looked delicious, and the airy shredded parmesan on top was intriguing. What a disappointment. The pasta itself was slightly dry (versus al dente) and the chicken was both tough and dry. With some of the larger chicken pieces they were rubbery in addition to tough. The pasta was counter serve, so of course the chicken was not cooked fresh and had likely been sitting under a heat lamp or in some sort of warmer for some time. I wish I could say the sauce would have saved the pasta had the noodles and chicken not been dry, but it wouldn't have even if those were moist. The sauce was... there. It wasn't memorable either way. I think two stars is a fair assessment. The service was fine, the presentation interesting, and the food not unpalatable. But would I eat there again? No! read more

I have been buying this pasta when the owner just had a booth at the farmers market. She would always give me ideas as to how to prepare her pasta and it was always fantastic. And now, I can actually experience her food the way it was intended. I am so happy she is now at SawMill market and almost exclusively eat there when I go. I want to try everything, yet I always turn back to get a warm bowl of pasta with homemade sauce. I just can't help myself. Pro-tip - the take and go cafe across from here sells wine by the glass. read more

Thank you for taking the time to write this kind review, Kimberly!…
I was first introduced to Tulipani at the grand opening of The Sawmill Market just days before the 2020 Covid lockdowns. Boy was I glad to have had the chance to see what was unfolding here... During the remainder of 2020, I was able to order bags of pasta online, and have it delivered at no charge which was such a generous and fantastic service, and, I have tried several variations. Most recently, I picked up a bag of spinach rigati in person at the Sawmill Market, and ordered the Pomodoro to go *that famous tulipani pasta shape, basil tomato sauce with burrata and pistachio pesto topped with crushed pistachios* - it was delicious. This is a very special place, and it's an absolute pleasure to continue to support this local business. read more

I ordered the lemon cream pasta! I love anything lemon, and it was delightful! The service seemed a bit lacking, in my opinion. I just hoped the staff to be a little bit friendlier. But as I said, great pasta, so I'd love to try another kind next time! read more
Second time coming here but the pasta was different this time. Regardless, both times and both styles were very good. Cooked made to order, cannot beat that. I had the Creamy Lemon pasta without capers and it was perfect. If you enjoy a full lemon taste then order this if your looking for a hint of lemon, don't. I asked the server/cook what he preferred and he shrugged his shoulders. After I ordered a second dish which was their special, green chili chicken he then said that was his favorite dish. I thought it was odd that he decided to finally offer an opinion after I ordered. The chili was not hot at all but it did offer a good flavor to the dish. The red pepper they add is also not hot. A mild dish for sure. I would have appreciated Oscar having a bit more friendlier customer service otherwise the food will not disappoint. read more

Excellent!!! Spicy but not overpowering. Fast service and it was even delicious the next day. read more
Omg this place is to die for! Absolutely delicious and pleasant, quick service!!! We tried both the pomodoro and the creamy lemon and both were served on their signature tulipani pasta. The creamy lemon was perfectly balanced and the chicken was tender and juicy. The pomodoro was a flavor explosion with basil tomato sauce, smooth and tart burrata, pesto drizzle and pistachios across the top! We weren't interested in any of the drinks they had on offer. Tip: get complimentary glasses of water across the hall at the mercantile Excited for them to get some different pastas back in stock to try but we will back even if they don't! read more

I ordered the Creamy Lemon Pasta and it did not disappoint. The service was swift and the pasta was high quality. You can taste all the fresh ingredient that's topped with the most decadent parmesan. read more
I've been to Tulipani twice now. The first time I got the pomodoro (basil tomato sauce, burrata, pistachio pesto, and chopped pistachios). For $12.95, the price wasn't bad and plenty for the price. The cream balanced perfectly with the spice of the tomato. Orders were out prompt. The second time I tried the creamy lemon (lemon parmiagno cream sauce, chicken, capers), which wasn't one of my favorites out of the choices. The lemon was very subtle, but the flavor of the capers was too sharp of a contrast to the lightness. As I was going up to the counter to get a lid for my bowl, the guy at the counter wanted to know if I wanted an extra pasta. He had made an extra green chile cream (green chile cream sauce, chicken breast, pecorino sheep's cheese) for himself, but wasn't hungry anymore. Actually, this was perfect because I had a hard time deciding between the green chile and the lemon cream in the first place. The green chile had just the right amount of heat, so this one was right up there with the pomodoro. Next, I will conquer the Amatriciana (spicy tomato sauce, pancetta, seasoned breadcrumbs, pecorino, chives). 2021 #9 read more
Our trip to sawmill market Is a gastronomic delight. But it also presents a dilemma - what to eat? Everything looked and sounded delicious. I settled on Lemon Pappardelle. Not solely because of my love of pasta, but the creamy lemon sauce - it sounded good. I was not disappointed, it tasted as good as it sounded. Homemade pasta(their specialty is small batches of handmade pasta) covered with a creamy lemon pesto style sauce. The lemon flavor is evident, but not overpowering. A definite stop deserving of at least a return trip. read more
What's the statute of limitations on reviewing an experience? I have no idea, but I'm about to drop a memory from March 10, 2020. That was the day the Sawmill Market opened and it was the last day of the year I ventured out of my house without worrying about an invisible foe. Myself and a homegirl eventually settled on grabbing lunch at this teensy tiny pasta shop in the Market, for two reasons: the line to order was pretty short and "Whoa, look at the color of that pasta!" I cannot tell you precisely what the tulip-shaped, yam-hued orbs of hand-made pasta was sauced up with, can't remember and frankly it wasn't very potent, it just accented noods that were clearly made just minutes before I picked up the dish. The meal was memorable enough to stick with me seven months later, and I'll note this, which continues to be true around the Duke City, in general: it's very hard to find truly great noodles in this metro, anywhere. Tulipani is a rare, welcome and exciting exception. read more
Tulipani is my local pasta favorite. I've tried both the pomodoro and the spicy tomato/pancetta pasta and both were incredible - both had amazing flavor and a great mix of textures. I would have to say if you're a first timer though, pomodoro is the place to start! The menu is small (3 entrees) but they excel at what they have. And there are quite a few options of pastas you can buy to make at home! read more
