Situated ideally at the center between the Lincoln National Forest to the south and the northeast and the Valley of Fires State Park to the northwest, Ruidoso is a still-sleepy mountain town despite its recent growth and popularity with tourists.

Fabulous! A true surprise to find such excellent cuisine in Ruidoso (based on our experiences at other local restaurants.) We sat outside on the patio which was great for us. It took a while for our waiter to show up - evidently the restaurant was unusally busy - we could tell he had been rushing around. He took our drink order and proceeded to let us know of the specials. We ordered the Chicken Picatta & Veal Marsala. Both were prepared excellently - both chicken and veal fork tender. They were served atop a bed of pasta which was a perfect al dente. We do not have any dietary challenges, but understand they have GF, V & Vegan options. Hands down the best restaurant in Ruidoso.Thank you for your detailed review! We apologize it took a little while for the server to get your table but are glad that did ruin your experience!

Probably the best pizza and I have had, except for Rays pizza in NYC!! Small hole in the wall and staff is always friendly. Not crazy about the pentagram shirts all the staff wears!

We asked for our chicken to be over the garlic linguini and it was the best weâve ever had!! Crispiest chicken over great garlic and butter linguini with their great rolls! We also ordered a personal sized meatball pizza which was great also! Romantic booths and good Chianti. I wish we had this place in Fort Worth!!!
