I don't know if the manager has it against trans women, but even if you spend over 100$ on a really nice dinner with your significant other, the manager will definitely come around to your table FOR FREE, call you both gentlemen, and then ask, "what would you like sir?" To your girlfriend..... So women have to pass as women now? He literally only does it to trans women, as we've both seen it on several occasions. YEAH, Looking to come out for a nice meal? Order pizza hut or Dominos.

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.

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, very friendly staff. I had Bruschetta Caprese, and Cinque Porcellini: Ham, salami, sweet sausage, pepperoni, capicola 4 cheeses, red sauce

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!

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.

Great food. Waited a really long time for someone to sit me. Several people saw me, even talked about how they were too busy to sit me, but not a word was said to me. Kinda weird. Great food though?

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.

If you want bad service with a side of fraud then this is the spot for you. Unfortunate but true. My friends and I were the first table in the restaurant upon opening for dinner. We were served by a very unfriendly lady, Id consider naming her by name but she never introduced to herself. Throughout our experience she was only at our table to bring our appetizer, bottle of wine, dinner (that took ages to get to us due to an error in the kitchen, which was told to us 30min after ordering) and to bring our bill. We paid part cash and part card. To my surprise, this server decided she was owed more than what we felt was appropriate as a tip and gave herself a little extra, hence the fraud comment. The food was good which is the reason for 1 star.

Atmosphere was quiet, service was ok, food was ok. What we ordered didn't match what was served. I know it's minor , but what I ordered was supposed to be fettuccine not penne. Dessert was supposed to have pine nuts but had pomegranate seeds..not bad, but didn't match up.

Piatanzi knocks it out of the park for 2nd visit. Both times we’ve had excellent service, and food. Salads are huge, FRESH and luscious. Kids meals are fancy yet appropriate. I had to finish out 2021 with a delicious meal made by talented chefs. So good.

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.

Pretty restaurant that doesn't match service or food. Menu seems like it could be great, but flavors were flat.. Bread was burnt and pizza sauce was missing seasonings. Servers wear oversized jeans and unkempt hair. It's very confusing who they want as customers.

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.

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).

Cool location in a neighborhood. Food was pretty good. I’d rather come here than a chain restaurant. Decent wine selection and some beers on the menu!

The pizza here used to be world class (2018), like seriously amazing. But the last few times I've tried it (2022) have been hugely disappointing, so I'm emending my 5-star review. Without exaggerating, this stuff is now on par with frozen pizza from the grocery store. To the management: If you have the power, please bring back the good pizza!

From appetizer to dessert, everything we’ve ordered from this place is amazing. We’ll take out of town family here or have romantic date nights.

Pizza and wine selection was great! They are still doing a smaller menu. But it was really good!

Some great pasta/pizza options, some are just good, but I've never had a bad meal here.. They are reasonably priced for Italian and do both delivery and pick-up so that's a major plus.

Extremely disappointing. Overpriced, under spiced. We're vegetarians so maybe need to eat meat to have a great meal here. Brussel sprouts overcooked, over oiled, over sauced. Salads were okay, but throwing big pieces of anchovy on a Caesar is lazy vs. preparing a proper dressing and a non-anchovy version. Eggplant parmesan bland, but maybe they mean tomato-based sauce to just be sauced tomatoes without garlic, pepper, oregano, basil. etc. and one piece of eggplant inedible. Pizza was okay, but I've had better at Dominos which a relatively low bar. Service was good, though not great, e.g. I never got red pepper flakes for the pizza.

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.

A hidden gem in Albuquerque! Hard to find but worth the effort..authentic Italian food. Probably the best I've had. Would never have known about it if I hadn't attended a rehearsal dinner for one of my brides..

Food did not look like photos posted on website or other reviews. Very disappointing. For the price, you would expect more…something other than a belly ache. Like an episode of nailed-it.
