- DDaveVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •122 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe 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.More infoPranzo Italian GrillPrice: Moderate• Italian• Santa Fe•4.5

- JJimVIPBerlin •96 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had an excellent “before Desert Chorale performance” meal at Pink Adobe and it was simply amazing. The enchiladas - chicken for one of us and shrimp for the other. Both were some of the best enchiladas we have ever had (and we have eaten our fair share of enchiladas). The shrimp were probably the better of the two if we had to choose. They were cut in to chunks (easier to take a bite), seasoned well and flash fried. So tender and juicy! Paired with a crisp Albariño it made a great dining experience. We’ll be back soon!More infoThe Pink AdobePrice: Expensive• Mexican / Southwestern• Santa Fe•4.6
