He best restaurant in Rio Rancho! I know anyone familiar with the area is thinking "that's not saying much!" Hold on though, it's the best restaurant in Rio Rancho, and even more, it's the best Italian food in the state! The food is spectacular, the service is ALWAYS outstanding, and the atmosphere is worth going out of your way. Personally, just as a suggestion when there, start with a bottle of the Luna di Luna Merlot/Cabernet (60-40), I understand it is exclusive to Pasta Cafe, & the Fried Ravioli appetizer, it's served covered in a magnificent, Marsala cream sauce, created by one of the immpeccable chefs. Salads? Tough decision, there dressings are all home-made and wonderful, just make sure you leave plenty of room for dessert! As far as the meals go... You can't go wrong with anything available from their extensive menu. (if on the off chance nothing quite catches your eye, ask your server for a suggestion, or Owner Joe, who's frequently there, they are always more than happy to find something not on the menu, or more in line with your tastes.) I will however say, i've loved everything i've ever tried there, but my favorite has got to be the Shrimp Francese, THE BEST! Now the sinful part, Real, fresh made, (usually by the owner's father) honest-to-god, Cannoli. It's very rich, and i'm sure has 9 gazilion calories, but who cares!?! One Cannoli, Would be worth a month on the treadmill! By now you'll be stuffed full of the best meal you've had in a LONG time, and with the deserving tip, can leave for probably, $70-$80. (2 people with wine, appetizer, and dessert.) which is well worth it, the only trouble will be leaving itself, trust me you wont want to, & the staff would never let you know if you were keeping them. It is sincerely the best dining in New Mexico, you just might not find better this side of Italy!

I'd have to agree the best dining in all of Rio Rancho! I started my meal with some motzerella sticks followed by a bottle of fine wine, to set the mood with my lady friend. After a hudge ceazar salad that we split i had the grilled chicken Alfredo... To die for!! My lady had the speghetti and meatballs wich was equally as good. The service was just too friendly and the overall experience was great!!
