Description: Service at Pranzo is consistently professional, a skillful blend of friendliness and knowledge. The menu offers a nice selection of starters, pizza, delicious pasta, and original entrees to keep locals and visitors happy. In fact, Pranzo is consistently selected as the city’s best Italian restaurant by readers of the Santa Fe Reporter. A good opener is the Antipasto Misto, a sampler plate that includes a head of roasted garlic, a grilled portobello mushroom, salmon, prosciutto, fontina cheese, and more. Salads are great here; we recommend the Gorgonzola dressing. The restaurant is nicely appointed, comfortable, and classy—a very “in” place for lunch. The staff happily accommodates special food requests. Pranzo serves lunch Monday through Saturday and dinner nightly. You can order off the full menu at the bar.
