Villa Di Capo Ristorante Italiano

So this is not the best Italian in ABQ. In fact there are some popular chains that would defiantly beat out this place on a taste test... However for traditional home cooked Italian cuisine that is always delicious and never complicated and particularly if you want to feel like your in a scene from the Godfather than this is the place. Would highly recommend the roast beef sandwich! But again the food has a very simple home-cooked feel and taste... so don't expect Torinos quality... but do expect a very Sopranos atmosphere. Update 2020 for Covid lock down they have a gorgeous open patio!

Always the best italian food with the best service. Even when it is super busy. Thanks again for a warm and romantic evening Ill be back soon

I have lived in Albuquerque my whole life and have passed by this restaurant many times but this time I decided to stop in and give it a try. Now I'm pretty sad I hadn't tried it before. We were greeted at the door by a nice lady named Jovanna (sorry if I misspelled). She also took our drink order and offered up suggestions on the menu, one of which is a new menu item named cream pesto spaghetti. She explained that it was their Alfredo sauce with pesto. I love Alfredo so we had to try it (I ordered it with some meatballs). When our waiter Charles came by he took our order and explained it came with soup or salad, we chose salad. The salad was also very good and fresh, it came with what I believe to be a slice of pepperoni. When our order came her offered fresh grated parmasean and Chile flakes. We really enjoyed it and suggest you give it a try also. I can say that I will be coming here more often to give some other menu items a try in hopes they are just as yummy! I loved the atmosphere and the restaurant is handicapped accessible. You can also eat on the patio if you desire some fresh air. Jovanna and Charles were awesome. I love that they interacted with us. They have great personalities, perfect to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. If you have the pleasure of Charles waiting on you he is a hoot, he had us laughing with his comments. Thank you both for the great experience!

We had a lovely late lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. The owner was on the premise and made sure we had a good experience. I was surprised to see that all the vegetables were prepared fresh (not frozen) and the dishes were made to order. The patios are beautifully maintained and clean. Going back for a second visit, the restaurant was confused about reservations. The owner said they take reservations, the staff said they do not. When we arrived at our reservation time, the hostess smugly announced that they do not take reservations and she would try to find me something. She dug in again when seating us saying, 'I was able to put something together for you. ' Gee thanks. It was unnecessarily rude.

An excellent place to take a date for a romantic dinner. The food (green Chile chicken alfredo jumbo meat ravioli) was delicious and the wait staff were very kind and accommodating. It did take a while to get a table, but only because they follow COVID safe practices, nothing more. Highly recommend!
