Restaurante Torino

For over a decade, Restaurante Torino has been Santa Fe's go-to Italian restaurant, serving traditional recipes from different regions of Italy along with its own fresh-baked breads and pastries. The goat cheese ravioli, arrabiata, and pizza — with fresh, quality ingredients — are what regulars order, and the squid ink pasta offers something different if you're feeling adventurous. The cannoli and tiramisu are both excellent.

The space is calm enough for easy conversation, with seating indoors and on a covered terrace, plus an on-site bakery selling house-made goods, oils, sauces, and preserves to take home. Breakfast and brunch are also strong here — chilaquiles verdes with cecina and fresh orange-papaya juice stand out. Reservations are recommended, especially during lunch hours. Valet parking available.
