Best Italian Restaurants in Santa Fe Station Hotel & Casino

Always a good dining experience. Had the eggplant stack for the first time. It was over pasta. Huge portions. Pasta cooked perfectly and tons of great eggplant.

Our first time, and it won’t be our last!! We moved from Chicago last year, and loved our higher end Italian restaurant (s) - it’s Chicago…so there are lots!! Amari definitely would fit in! The daily specials looked amazing! We started with Caesar’s Salad and Carpaccio. Both were excellent! There were four of us dining. We had : Lasagna, Boar Bolognese, Lobster Ravioli and chicken piccata. All were served beautifully and were sooo tasty!! For dessert we had 3 Tiramisu lol They have an extensive wine menu. We had a blended red and their house Sauvignon Blanc. This is NOT your local Olive Garden or Bucca….expect to pay for a high quality meal. I can’t wait to come back!

This dining experience is charming. The food was delicious. Caprese salad was done with a different twist; with good results. The crust on the pizza was more than delicious; in fact my dining guest wanted to eat all of my pizza. The lasagna was a comfort food to truly enjoy. I will return to Brunella for special occasions as it is a little over my normal luncheon budget.

Had our traditional Christmas Eve dinner and it was a wonderful meal

Service was excellent and the ambience although crowded on an early Tuesday evening was festive. I am sorry though to see that televisions are on in the dining room. It really takes away from the bistro feeling. Our meals were good (ravioli, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken Parmesan with spinach, calamari, and warm goat cheese with pistachios), but the Branzino was so-so and the ahi tuna was almost inedible as it was fibrous and chewy. I would stick to the pasta and traditional dishes.
