Always a good experience with great Italian food.
Would be 5 star but they charge if you want more than one piece of bread and they tried to charge us for bringing in our own birthday cake.
So as long as you don't want extra bread or bring your own cake, you'll probably enjoy this place.
Food was very good. My fiancee and I got two different pasta dishes. The portions were big and filling. They have a wide selections of drinks. The place is a pricey. The staff were very nice and attentive but not over attentive. They have a very good air conditioning system so bring a light jacket if you get cold easily.

Had pizza, salad and wine. Food was great, upscale-kinda. The service, our waitstaff in particular, not so much. Thankful the other waitstaff stepped up to help when ours didn’t.
Really delicious authentic Italian food with a lot of options for different dishes. Great service too and a very nice space.

Piatanzi didn’t disappoint and it was the perfect spot for our date. Crowd was mixed as far as demographics go. All ages were in attendance when we sat. Great wine and drink list. Menu was simple and easy to read.
Fresh baked bread was brought out after our drinks with a little bowl of Olive oil. I felt the olive oil was plain and could’ve had a house made seasoning in it. Bread was already sliced, hot with a thin hard crust and soft moist center. Yummy.
So we chose the calamari to start. Actually tasted most fresh out of any restaurant in ABQ. It wasn’t the typical circles you get from other places it was authentic. Lemon sauce drizzled on top with a light batter and good crunch. Moved onto a shrimp salad that had large shrimp fresh crisp green veggies. Had to end with the house made tiramisu. Dang! That was so good I was going to get another one. It was soft, creamy, with a good amount of sweetness and great tasting espresso soaked foundation.
Our waitress was awesome and she made the experience better. Gave us our time and explained everything we asked.
Personally the cost is worth it. Our dinner was around $60 with hot tea’s to drink.
All in all this was a great place and we will be returning when we are in the area.
Delicious food and great staff. A very pleasant atmosphere. We had the house wine (10/10!), the steak salad and a salad with salmon on top. All was excellent. A great find!
Hidden gem in the heart of a residential neighborhood, this restaurant never fails to deliver in terms of quality and quantity. The food is absolutely delicious; you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The offerings for children are great, and they can adapt to pretty much any taste for even the most discerning picky eater. The service is always phenomenal.
Delicious food, very friendly staff. I had Bruschetta Caprese, and Cinque Porcellini: Ham, salami, sweet sausage, pepperoni, capicola 4 cheeses, red sauce
So delicious! Best food weve had come to Alb maybe 3 times a year. We had truffled fries, lasagna bolognese, ravioli, tiramsu, griddle polenta (Fabulous!) and cicollata (so fabulous chocolate cake).
Great food but their phone just calls a fax line. It's been years and they haven't fixed it. Wish they would make ordering easier.
This place is in a unique location and was surprised by this. The service was very good and prompt. There is a good selection of foods and well priced. Quiet atmosphere. Nice to get away from the commercial type restaurants.
Really nice local place with upscale atmosphere and great food. The appetizers, salads and pastas are all delicious. The only thing I don’t like about it are the short hours- they don’t open till 5 and are only open Tuesday - Saturday.
Just amazing. My pictures don't do it justice. Comfortable dining experience with some high class. Excellent food and service.
Love the atmosphere of this cozy, inviting neighborhood bar & restaurant! Interesting menu, great food, service was excellent, highly recommend! Jimbo is the best bartender!
