Our first time here.We were told that this is an Albuquerque staple and now we see why. The food was excellent . Meatballs were great, bruschetta had a unique presentation , chicken piccata and pasta were really good. Our only issue was that nothing was served hot. All of was warm. It won't stop us from returning.
