    Excellent pasta no matter what the sauce…the bread was also wonderful. Delicious salads. A refreshing break from all the tex-mex food in Santa Fe.

    I took myself to Pranzo for a little birthday-month lunch, and it was such a treat. The burrata with gaufrette pears, pear brodo, fried almonds and extra-virgin olive oil was gorgeous—creamy, lightly sweet and full of wonderful texture. The Paglia e Fieno with peas and prosciutto was rich, comforting and beautifully balanced. A big shout-out to Chef Eliazar. The flavor, execution and presentation were excellent. You could feel the care in every plate. Scott made the whole afternoon even better. He was warm, attentive and so easy to talk with. He gave me space to enjoy myself but never let me feel forgotten or rushed. He helped make my solo birthday lunch feel relaxed and celebratory as I ease into midlife—one delicious meal at a time! The atmosphere was welcoming, the timing was just right, and I left full, happy and well cared for. Salud to Chef Eliazar, Scott and the Pranzo team! 🥂🍐

    Some entrees were better than others, and noise from a table nearby made it diffucult to have a conversation.

    Everything was great except an overpowering and lingering odor from a cleaning agent they use. I don’t know if they use it to wipe tables or clean the floor but it was nauseating and not conducive to a dining experience. I like clean but I don’t want to smell a fragranced cleaning agent throughout my meal.

    Last minute change sent us here. I hadn’t booked it originally because it was rated 4.1. I have no idea why! The food was amazing and the drinks were great. I can’t wait to go back. If you like squid and shrimp don’t pass up the fried appetizer on the spicy tomatoe base. I had the schnitzel with polenta- amazing, table had a pizza and the Nona pasta - all delicious. Not the fanciest place but it was cleaner than a lot of the higher end restaurants we visited this trip (seriously SantaFe- don’t you know how to clean air vents and returns)

    I needed a quick meal before driving to Albuquerque, so I stopped in at Pranzo's where I knew the food is excellent and they try their best to accommodate any special requests. As usual (because I come here frequently - it's only a couple of blocks from checking on my Casita Ristra short-term rental) I was not disappointed. A DELICIOUS beet salad served with a thick warm wedge of fresh crusty bread, had it ordered, served and paid-for within less than 30 minutes! Who needs "fast food restaurants"?!? This is quality, flavor, good service and a pleasant atmosphere. They have music but not loud - nice and low - and usually a selection that feeds the soul while you feel your ... whole being. You will love Pranzo's (but maybe you know that already!)

    The food is always very good and fresh. I realize that it was Indian Market weekend but the restaurant needs to hire more help. Our waitress Christine has been there for years and taking care of that many customers is not in the establishments favor. We never received an appetizer that was ordered and had to ask for everything including silverware, napkins and bread. I will ask for a different server when I return because she is clearly not capable of taking care of her assigned tables.

    Incredibly poor service. Not just slow (3.5 hours) but indifference, forgotten food, an apathy that defied belief. Christine was the waitress. Avoid at all cost. Food however was good.
