We go to this restaurant at least every other week. We love it. Every single thing on the menu is delicious. Their chefs are excellent. The pizzas and salads are amazing. The staff well trained and friendly. The tables are clean, the bathroom is clean, even the windows are clean, and the set-up of the tables are easy to get to and well arranged. The wine carafes are an excellent value. They have a very cool points system, via your phone number, in which you earn a significant amount of money points to use whenever you like. I also appreciate the tip jar system at the register, as this is general service rather than ordering at the table. Very good value for your money. Park on the street, in the free parking garage, or in the back-alley lot.
Loved trying a new place to us before our show at UNM. DELICIOUS lasagna with Italian sausage and so glad we shared the serving. As it was huge. And topped it off with the chocolate flourless cake. Highly recommend. Not m7ch seating, but we were there early, so found a table.
One of my consistent faves in the city. Had a great night there this week. Everything was spot on and we had fun. The tiramisu was FANTASTIC and the best I’ve had in many years! I didn’t get a pic of our pizza or dessert but it was yummy. I love how they pre-split our salad, makes it so much nicer for both of us.
One of my all time places to have pizza. Enjoyed the outdoor sitting on a cool day overseeing Rt 66! Pizza and salad were prepared perfectly! Nobody does wood oven pizza like Il Vicino! Alex brought me food and drinks with professionalism and was attentive! I will be back for the consistency of food and service! Never had a bad meal!
I have noticed a decline in Il Vicino’s pizzas and customer service in recent years. We have been loyal customers for over a decade and are disappointed with their new policy that customers have to pay over the phone for carry out orders over a certain amount. I explained to both an employee and then to the MOD, that I was driving (hands free) and could not give a card over the phone and wanted to pay in cash upon arrival. I also explained that it would be helpful to keep CC info on file for situations like these. They refused to honor my over the phone carry out order, stating they could not make exceptions and that they could prepare my order when I arrived in Person. As far as inconsistency in quality, the last time I got pizzas there, they were all burnt and have noticed that the pizza sizes are also inconsistent! See pictures. Due to the declining quality and service I do not recommend them. I gave 2 stars because when their quality is on point, it is delicious. However, due to the price, quality control would be helpful. In addition, they have become more inconvenient to order from. They seem to have discontinued Grubhub orders, as well. I will not be ordering from them anytime soon.
