Farina Pizzeria & Wine Bar Downtown · EDo
A mom-and-pop pizzeria and wine bar that Gil Garduno counts among the great independent restaurants in and around Albuquerque, and that he was taken to task on air for leaving off a five-best list. Order a pizza with a glass of red.
Slate Street Cafe · Downtown
A downtown room in the legal district that Gil Garduno describes as Soho cool, with a sleek high-ceilinged dining room, a looming wine bar and a capacious patio frequented by some of Albuquerque's most hip and beautiful people. He calls it a breath of fresh air in a downtown district where revitalization does not always appear to be working. Order a glass at the bar and stay for a plate.
