👍👍 We needed to pick up some of their great wine and decided to have a bite for lunch. Antipasto was delicious and the Luna Rossa pizza was even better. Nice alfresco dining and the Gelato was phenomenal. Definitely one of our go to spots when we're in town. Customer service was awesome. People often mention pizza, great, wine, amazing, pasta, good,

    We had an amazing meal this past Friday night, enjoying pizza, pasta and wine. I loved the option to taste a flight of wine before deciding on a bottle. Our server Fabian made our experience complete! I am also a server, so I especially appreciated his attentiveness, how engaging he was, and how prompt and efficient he was. I couldn't believe that that was his first night serving at the restaurant. Thank you so much Luna Rossa for a wonderful night!

    We were passing through town and decided to try this based on a local referral. Was a little intimidated by the authenticity because we usually get Papa Murphy’s 😂, but was pleasantly surprised! We didn’t actually order any of the pizzas on the menu, but rather, we special ordered a Hawaiian. Light on the toppings, but based on our trip to Naples, Italy, decided that’s how pizza is usually done and accepted the first bite. We ate those pizzas so fast! Flavor was incredible and I loved the texture and flavor of the crust. I’ve never had anything like it. Service wasn’t too shabby either. Our server was very nice and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to return if I’m in town again.

    This is my place of Serenity. My safe place away from home. I come here often to relax and do my thing. Service has always been great and food…..delizioso! Gelato and Sangria 🍷🍨 Live music was extra nice, tonight! Never disappoints

    The place was nice, and the pizza looked great. Unfortunately, the wine tasting was not great. The vionier was acidic, and all four reds we tried - three of which were "Reserve" - tasted off. When asked, the barman told us that the Barbera had been open for 4 days; we assume the others has been open as long, too. He said, "Sorry" but did not offer to open a fresh bottle. We won't be back.

    We stopped in for lunch and it was delicious! Service was a touch slow but friendly. They are dog friendly on their beautiful porch and it was great to sit under the trellis and drink wine on a sunny, Fall day.

    The pizza was disappointing. The dough was very soggy. I’ve never had soggy wood fired pizza before so it was a huge bummer. The atmosphere is wonderful. We sat outside under the shade and enjoyed the sun and live music. The wine was great. We ordered the Sangria and definitely recommend if you like a sweet red. The salmon pasta was amazing. I can’t wait until our next trip to Cruces so I can order it again. Good gelato too!

    As someone passing through from Brooklyn, very happy to say the pizza was great. Service was fast and helpful, even with a full dining room. Very well priced - highly recommend this spot if you are someone from out of town looking for a solid place to eat on short notice.

    Nice atmosphere on the patio. There was a live band. We ordered a panini, Bambino pizza and Spaghetti Pomodoro. The menu said fresh noodles, nothing was bad, but it didn't taste like homemade noodles or sauce. The house salad was pretty good. I'd order something else next time.

    Awesome selection of pizza toppings, thin crust, just the right amount of cheese. A small salad was easily enough for 3 people. Our friends also lived the gelato, but I was too full to partake. Next time I will eat less pizza and save room.

    The margarita pizza was excellent! Wine averages $9 a cup, nothing to write home about. Panini was a bit thick for my liking and decent flavor. Gelato was yummy. Bruschetta helps us over until the food got there. The service was excellent 👌 When we come back it will likely be for pizza and gelato.

    Hands down the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to. Fresh food, lots of it artisan, fantastic ice cream too. Generous portions with loads of toppings on the pizzas. Staff is very friendly and usually up for a chat if it’s not too busy. It is probably a blessing we moved away, otherwise I would eat here far too often!

    The food was AMAZING. My only complaint was that the menu was extremely hard to read. A lot of it (mostly the titles) was in Italian which made it very hard to understand. I eventually was able to figure out what I wanted to order but it took a long time because of that. Besides that the food was delicious and the service was great.

    My only problem is I didnt visit sooner! I asked for well done and it was amazing! Crispy on the outside and tender inside, served nice and hot, relaxing atmosphere. Beautiful place, reasonably priced. Im a fan!

    Over all this establishment was okay at best. The atmosphere was extremely loud and crowded. The table I was sat in was next to the entrance. As people came in I kept getting bumped. As for the food, we had pizza and a pasta. The crust of the pizza would have been perfect if it had more of a crisp. Ours came soggy. Our pasta was home quality if that’s says anything. It’s a possibility we may go back just for the wine.

    We had such an amazing time. Starting with our server Marissa that had such a wonderful attitude. We had what she suggested and, omg, it was delicious! I had never had Alien beer, and thought I was not going to like it. To my surprise I did. Their Luna Rossa pizza was out of this world (we added green Chile to it, yummy). Their melon with prosciutto is very good. All to say that our experience there was phenomenal and we recommend.

    Fun fact: Luna Rossa is the largest grape grower in New Mexico with over 200 acres of vineyards. They grow all of the varietals they offer on their menu and the types of grapes are extensive. I would think that having so much variety seems like a hard thing to do well. But I do have to admit, I enjoyed a number of the wines! Things I loved: they offer “bambino” sizes of their pizzas and pastas which gives you so many options to choose from for the kiddos. The wine selection does not disappoint. The pizza. Oh. Em. Geeee. So so good. Try the Bianca and add the green chilies. To die for. Where they can do better: I would have appreciated learning more about these wines through the servers. It’s more of a choose a flight and here you go. Also the bathroom situation is tough; there are single stalls that are gender specific. They should make these non-gender specific so the ladies don’t always have a long line. If you’re feeling wine and pizza, this is your place!

    Food was delicious and the staff was so friendly. The pasta was fresh and amazing plus the Gelato was so creamy

    Dinner rush on Saturday night. Service was great despite the crowd. Once seated we did have to share our server so went without a glass of water for a bit, but other servers picked up the slack eventually getting us our drinks. Food is fantastic. Atmosphere was very family oriented, had live music out in the patio for those in a romantic date. Highly recommend this place. Will definitely come again
