Best Italian Restaurants in Albuquerque Acres West

Joe's is staffed by helpful and innovative people. The food is excellent and the wait staff is professional. Shellie, the manager keeps things organized, predictable and prompt.

Food was done beautifully and very good. The Parmesan toasts were great but I wish our server had not taken the dish away so soon so we could've had more of the balsamic glaze. Overall though it was great and this was just lunch...looking forward to returning for dinner.

Absolutely loved the fried shrimp and the Veal Marsala. Very few places in town offer veal. . . hint: substitute mashed potatoes for pasta for a special treat. The homemade dressing on the Caesar side salads was outstanding- special recipe, of course! And try a glass of Sangiovese. What's not to love?

I like the relaxed atmosphere and the interesting menu choices, entrees ranging from Greek (I had soulvaki and it was excellent), Steaks, Pastas and more. Good wines as well. Service was prompt and professional. It's a great value when you can get 2 high quality entrees and wine for 80 bucks. If you ask me how they could improve, I couldn't think of anything.

We all enjoyed our brunch choices, but the Eggplant Benedict was exceptional! We enjoyed our birthday brunch and appreciated the complimentary desserts. Our birthday guests picked the lemon chantilly cake and the chocolate cake with caramel meringue. They were so delcious! Thank you for a nice celebration!
