What is your favorite Italian restaurant in the Albuquerque Metro?
I was wondering, I know there are people who like Italian or Italian-American food here. While I know it is nowhere near as popular as Mexican or New Mexican food, I know that Italian food is still popular.
My favorite Italian restaurant in the Albuquerque Metro is Buca di Beppo. I really like their Chicken Parmesan.
Speaking of Italian food, come see my poll below:

Andros 1337, there are plenty of Italian restaurants in the ABQ area. I like Paisano’s on Eubank.
Since it looks like you live in Rio Rancho, Pasta House on Southern Blvd has always been my favorite. And if you want just a good pizza also try Frattellis, in the same mall.

I really like certain dishes at Trombino's, but I haven't eaten there in a while because I always eat way too much when I go there. I love the pizza at Saggio's.

Having come from the Northeast (New York) where there is an abundance of good Italian restaurants, I was surprised at the dearth of Italian restaurants here, let alone good ones. I've found Trombinos to be very erratic, hit or miss. Scalo does a lot better, but my favorite for pastas has been Vivace on Central in Nob Hill. I haven't found a really good pizzeria yet.

I really like Giovannis!
I can never remember the name. I tell people to go to around San Pedro and Kathryn and they look at me like I am nuts - "there's no pizza place there???". Yes, there is, and it is very good!
