Andiamo!

This was our first time here and I am so glad we came across this hidden gem!! Our server was very friendly and welcoming! We had the mozzarella and prosciutto for an appetizer with a hint of olive oil and capers. I had the sangiovese and it was great. They had a very good special.. but we were both drawn to the trout with the seasonal veggies (green beans, mushrooms, butternut squash and sweet potatoes). It was prepared delightfully! The dessert was also delicious! The tiramisu had a great balance of cocoa powder and sweet. The espresso complemented it very well! I hope we return to this delectable intimate setting!

This quiet little gem is tucked away on a side street and is easy to miss. But once you’re inside, it’s got great ambiance. It’s got a come in and relax type of vibe. The soup of the day was roasted corn and it was superb. Just the right balance between sweet and savory. The chicken parmesan and spaghetti was excellent. I was a bit wary at first as it’s a huge portion and some restaurants try to make up for lack flavor with bigger quantities. That was definitely not the case here. The sauce was different than what I’m used to and the change was welcome. The chocolate custard is homemade and was amazing. Be warned, it’s small but suuuuper rich and decadent. And the service throughout was top notch. Definitely recommend this place when you want a break from all the great Mexican food in the immediate area.

Could have been a five star - but for two things. First, the food was very good. We had the crispy polenta to start and it was very tasty. Salads were nicely dressed, fresh ingredients. Entrees were filling and again, very well prepared. However, halfway through service our server seemed to forget about us. She just disappeared after our entrees were dropped. We finished, then sat and sat and sat, with dirty dishes and empty glasses in front of us. Dessert was the real disappointment of the evening though. See photos of the pannacotta with fresh fruit. Truly laughable dish. Should never have been sold/served if a slab of apple is the best that can be offered here.

We made a reservation. When we arrived the host told us it’ll take about 30min to get our table. Bummer! But at the end we waited maybe 5 min. The restaurant itself is actually way cozier than looks on the pictures. The light was dimmed and the chairs are comfortable. The food was great. Good sized portions. Tender meat. Pasta not overcooked. Service was good and wait time for food was also absolutely reasonable.

Lovely small boutique restaurant with great food.
Got 2 pasta dishes that were fantastic, the pasta was cooked to perfection. 👌 You can tell they are using fresh local ingredients.
Centrally located in Santa Fe with nearby parking. Has outdoor dining on nice days.
Would have been 5 star, but the waiter kept disappearing, wanted to order more food to try.
Will go back again for the great pasta.
