Pranzo Italian Grill

Frito misto was huge!!! And delicious!!!!Salmon piccata was great!!Service was outstanding!

The restaurant isn't very big so I recommend making reservations. I ended up getting a seat at the bar. The Italian gimlet was good. The burrata and pear was also good just wish they would do less olive oil on the plate. Made it super "watery" per se. The gamberoni was really freakin good. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their pastas. The staff was also super friendly.

The spaghetti with Gamberoni with pesto sauce is the most amazing pasta dish! The fried zucchini appetizer seemed light and yummy even though it was fried. The service was excellent. We came for lunch and it was quiet enough for a business meeting. We will definitely be back!

Soooo Pranzo.. we just arrived in Santa Fe, we had to ease our daughter into a culturally different area so we chose Italian. This place is very popular but honestly I wan not impressed. Food/wine.. my wife and daughter split a pizza (minus basil .. more on this at the end). It looked good, my wife enjoyed it..daughter was non-committal (her normal mode). I had the spinach and ricotta ravioli. They were drowned in a cream sauce. I like the ravioli, but I had to drain each bite.. the sauce was fine but I didn't want to be a lifeguard to save each bite from the sauce. We also got some bread...it's was very good.Service..I don't think they have enough staff... our server was nice but we felt inattentive. We had to flag her down or another server a couple of times for pop and water refills.Last the check..I flagged our server down for the check... when I got it there were two issues for me. First as I mentioned earlier, my wife and daughter had a pizza and asked for no Basil. On the ticket it said no Basil and a three dollar charge...? Huh? No basil costs an extra $3? I brought that to her attention and she did get it taken off...but what the heck? Last there was a $6 kitchen tip added to the bill. This was not mentioned on the menu..or anywhere else.. tips are for service...not the kitchen imho.So I was running a 3 stars before seeing the check...2 after what I just explained. I know m a tough critic, but I believe fair. Our next time down here if looking for Italian (yes I know Italian in New Mexico. It doesn't make sense but you gotta make your daughter happy) we will choose another place

Great service and food. I would give it 4.5 out of 5! (Just always hesitant to give a perfect review, unless it actually is perfect). Beef Carpaccio and the Calamari appetizers truly were five stars. The pasta entree we shared off the daily special was four stars. The pizza was great too.We will definitely be back as we all throughly enjoyed it.

They have the nerve to add a Kitchen Gratuity?!?! Totally unacceptable and ruined an otherwise wonderful dining experience. We don't expect to be five and dimed. The owner is supposed to pay his kitchen staff adequately.

The ambiance was good, and enhanced on this Friday evening by an enthusiastic crowd of diners. The bar was especially alive.The vibe felt authentically Italian, as our waiter at least was of that nationality. Bread came to accompany the olive oil that was a standard part of the table setup. Further evidence of authenticity was the absence of herbs added to the oil, which is more an American affectation. We ordered garlic bread also, which was exceptional. The Norteño Pie Pizza was a bit too picante for most tastes, but I liked the thin crust. One of our party had tiny clams and linguini which was excellent, and another reported that the crispy chicken was very good. All considered, a solid four stars.

We came to Pranzo for our anniversary dinner. as a kid I had visited the old location, and I was curious to see how the new one was. We really enjoyed our visit. This is one of the few places that I can find carpaccio. It is very tasty. we also ordered one of the specials, it was a salmon dish, also very tasty. I myself ordered the muscles, and soaked up all the good juices with extra bread. Our server was very pleasant and helpful. this is near downtown Santa Fe, so parking can be tough, but it is part of the experience of Santa Fe. There are also lots of little shops and galleries to look at around the area.

Great food and a great ambiance in downtown SF. Service was awesome and the menu was full of good options, we'll be back.

We reserved a table for a party of seven family members, three of whom were celebrating birthdays on or around the date, and they put us in the private room away from the main dining spaces. It was great having our own space to dine, though it's still quite a loud restaurant. I think that's due to having hard-plastered walls with no fabric hangings to deaden the bounce.That said, it was a fantastic dining experience, start to finish. Our server, Gabrielle, was absolutely top-notch in every way, even though she was busy waiting on other tables as well. Between us, we sampled a big portion of the menu.For appetizers, we ordered the warm olives and the pear with cheese, which we shared around the table along with the provided bread and olive oil. One of us had the pizza, one the fish special, one ravioli, and one cioppino. All reported they were even better than expected. The linquines (clam, salsiccia) were excellent, and the order of garlic toast was a perfect accompaniment for all the entrees. We finished up with all three dessert offerings. The creme brulee was reliably delicious and the lemon sorbet came served inside hollowed-out lemon halves, with chunky lemon zest on top - very pungent, but a great balance between the creamy sorbet and the flavor-packed zest. The folks who had the tirimasu ate all of it before I could have a bite, so it must have been good.Libations are plentiful and varied. Its cool to get a good prosecco by the glass, and at a reasonable price. Local draft beers and a big selection of canned or bottled beer complemented the extensive wine list.Be aware: this quality comes at a price, but I think it was well worth the expense for the great meal and the great time we had sharing it.
