    On such a busy night as Christmas Eve, the service was efficient and friendly, the Chef personally came by to check on us, and the food was delicious! Between the three of us we started with the Frito Misto and shared a Caesar salad with fresh anchovies. Our entrees included the Crispy Chicken Thighs (polenta, fennel, white beans, and olives), the Paglia e Fieno, house made pasta in a creamy parmesan sauce with peas, and the Gamberoni, with shrimp and sundried tomatoes. A wonderful evening, thank you Pranzo!

    Our waiter , Truitt, was fantastic. Personable, informative and so interesting. Our food was great. Linguine Vongole, and the seafood appetizer particularly. Great time.

    We love Pranzo's, the family-owned and operated restaurant which is conveniently located 3 blocks from the Santa Fe plaza and offers some of the best Italian food in town! Their cozy lounge features exposed vigas & cove ceiling, generous windows (which bring in lots of natural light), and a beautiful bar which had ongoing traffic the day we were there but not so crowded and not so loud that we couldn't have a nice conversation. Upon arrival, our friendly maitre' d greeted us and logged in our reservation, then promptly prepared a high top table for lunch. Fresh bread, olive oil, and a classic Caesar salad were perfect starters; we then enjoyed a dish of Ravioli and one of Spagettini Nonna, both of which were delicious and came in generous portions. Their house-made tiramisu should not be missed. And we finished with a couple of espresso coffee drinks. Special thanks to Truitt, our attentive server, Steve, Chef/Owner and all the professional staff at Pranzo's. We've decided that Christmas Eve lunch at Pranzo'a is now a family tradition though we can't wait to visit their ristorante again soon.

    Arrived a bit early but were seated and served promptly. Phil and team were attentive from cocktails thru the check. Shared an appie and eggplant parmesan entree as portions were generous. An easy walk to the Plaza and back to our hotel. Thanks.

    We were a party of four. Ordered the Frito Misto platter to share, and that was a huge hit! It was pretty noisy when we arrived at 6:30, but it was a Saturday night. It calmed down after 7:30. Entrees were all really good. Linguine and sausage, Spaghetti Nonna, pig and pear pizza, and a creamy fettuccine with peas and beet salad was wonderful. It We got lemon sorbet to finish. Perfect ending. We did have to ask for fresh Parmesan, I think that should be offered. And we had to ask for dessert menu, but little things. Overall a really delicious meal and good time. I think they could work on decor and maybe hang some art. Ambiance needs a little work.

    Positives: excellent service, Caesar salads, eggplant parm. Negatives: inadequate parking, very loud too brightly lit dining room, shockingly small wine pour (our waitress brought me a full pour at no extra charge). The floor next to our table was uneven and irregular so my chair jumped every time anyone walked by. The spicy sausage pizza, my fave in Pranzo’s old location, was bland and with minimal meat. At $156 for two salads, eggplant parm, pizza and three glasses of wine not good value I’m afraid. Pranzo in Sanbusco was always our go-to after a movie so its current iteration is particularly disappointing.
