Pizzeria Da Lino

Wow! My husband and I have not had legit Italian pizza this good since living in Italy over four years ago! When we came back stateside we just couldn’t eat pizza because it was nothing like we had eaten there. The first bite of my buffalo mozzarella margarita pizza brought back memories of sitting in a pizzeria in a quaint little Italian square. We ordered our daughter a half order of spaghetti bolognese which was also very good in its own right. Another lovely thing about dinner that evening was the conversation with Nikolai. We had a good time reminiscing with him about Italy and Europe in general. His service and friendliness was impeccable. Next time we are in Santa Fe we will definitely be back!
Saluti!

We wound up here by accident (thank goodness!!!) because the taco joint across the street wouldn’t serve us because they decided to «close» 20 min early.
On a difference note… this place was AMAZING!!! The service was great, the food was great, the live music was great… everything was great!!!
We are from out of town and we don’t know all of the best places to go… but we would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone… and we will for sure be returning when we come back to SF!

The food here was wonderful! My husband and I are from Chicago, and we both have food intolerances, avoiding gluten and dairy. We were amazed at the quality of the gluten-​free pizza crust and pasta here! We are planning to go back for another meal before we return home! This is a great spot for a late lunch or dinner.

We were in Santa Fe for Christmas and we love to Unilocal places to eat. From the past reviews we decided to stop. I didn’t give it 5 stars because our party of four were split in their opinions. The environment and music (accordion Christmas and other style music) was great. Two of us had pizza and loved it! Our waiter was like a character out of an Italian movie and he was great! I took his suggestion and went with the «fungi e tartufo» and it was outstanding. My daughter was also pleased with her pizza. My wife had the bruschetta for a meal and said it was average/​good. My dad had the lasagna and was very pleased until he got to the back side of his meal and it was a bit cold. Dad is old school and is not one to complain and we didn’t know until we left. He said it was tasty though. Over all, very tasty Pizza!

NOT ABOUT THE FOOD. IT’S VERY GOOD (Four Star for eating in). The problem is that the take-​out service is horrendous. I ordered pasta and pizza and was told twenty minutes for pick-​up. Perfect. I walked in on time and thought I saw my pizza getting cold on the bar. There was a woman in line ahead of me. Turns out that her pizza was also on the bar. The bartender, who doubles as the take-​out guy looked at us, poured several glasses of wine for customers ahead of us (okay) and then proceeded to take ten minutes to make an espresso without ever talking to either one of us. Fifteen minutes after I walked in he asked about my order. I told him to take care of the woman first. It was her pizza on the bar, and it was ice cold. She asked him about warming it up, and he said he could call the kitchen. She left and said, «You need to do something about this.» No reply. He found my ticket and finally got the pasta form the kitchen. Pizza was cold. No accommodation, nothing. Not like Osteria, the sister restaurant. DON’T ORDER TAKEOUT FROM LINO’S.

Fairly nice ambiance. We ordered the pizza funghi which was yummy and two glasses of wine. Moderately expensive. Definitely prefer Backroad, but this is a solid option.

The pizza is delicious and probably among the best in town. Their staff was rude and unfriendly though, which kind of ruined the whole experience. Too bad!

The food and service were both excellent. Gary our server was excellent as well. Great food at a good price.
Absolutely will go again.

We arrived in Santa Fe a little late and went looking for food and found Pizzaria de Lino based on a description in the hotel guide. Very pleasantly surprised. The space is charming (much bigger than it looks from the street) and the pizzas we had were excellent. Very close to what we had on a trip to Almalfi, Italy. Our waiter was also great, offering samples of the craft beers they make, and the wonderful gelato made for the restaurant. Will be back to try their pasta dishes.

Firstly, I’d like to say thank you to Pizzeria Da Lino!
I am from out of town. We drove in late and got settled in and it wasn’t until 9:15 that we realized we hadn’t eaten since the morning.
The first placed we tried to go to (which was supposed to close at 11 pm) wouldn’t seat us because they were closing. The second place we tried (which also closed at 11) told us the kitchen closed already. By this time it was 9:50 pm.
I thought I would call Pizzeria Da Lino to just see if I could get a pizza to go. I was pretty sure that I wasn’t going to be able to place an order since they close at 10 pm. To my absolute delight they told me they would be happy to take out order! We showed up a few minutes before 10 and were greeted with a smile and even got to sample some gelato! Totally saved our night!
We got a pepperoni pizza and two salads. The food was delicious and just what we needed! The gelato is also really good!
I would recommend this place. For the food and great customer service!

Quite nice! Looks small from front but there’s space in back. Nice summer evening patio dining. Friendly staff, thin-​ish wood fired Margherita pizza and baked mozzarella appy (yum!). Deserves better than 3.5 star average.

As we approached the front door we weren’t sure they even had table seating, because from the front, it looks quite small. Of course they do. The space is actually quite large and includes a wonderful outdoor patio which we opted for. We shared a pizza (Quattro Stagiono) and a Caesar salad. Both were excellent, although I thought the salad dressing could use a touch more lemon. The server recommended a wine which we both greatly enjoyed. We were about to depart when the musician began. That prompted us to stay for for another round of wine and dessert. We shared the Italian flan (I don’t recall the real name of it) and it was wonderful. We had a great evening, great food, service and atmosphere. We will definitely return!

Great dinner at Da Lino this evening. Pizza and pasta delicious. Excellent service. Very welcoming and warm staff. Loved the outdoor patio and the live music. Accordion player was great. If we lived here, we would definitely go back. Special last meal in Santa Fe.

One of my favorite pizzas in Santa Fe! I particularly like their Toscano. Delicious! Very fresh and authentic. Service is prompt and friendly.

I like this place for carry out! I admit to never having eaten inside, but the service for carry out is fast and very good. They will make gluten free pizzas and that is great for my daughter who visits from Los Angeles and claims the pizza here at Da Lino is better than any gluten free in LA. Wish they delivered~!

First thing’s first, parking! Park right in front or in the next door parking lot. Once this place is busy you’ll need to hunt for a spot on the side street.
The bartender was extremely friendly and gave me a water with lemon while I was waiting to meet my group.
The carpaccio was decent, the wine recommendation pretty good, but my gluten-​free pizza was delicious! Yum! The pizza is worth coming back for!

While the service was good I was very disappointed in both the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant. I was seated in the patio area because there were very few tables left inside and it was frigid. The complimentary bread was cold and bland though the olive oil it came with was good.
My biggest complaint was my main course which was supposed to be eggplant rolls stuffed with artichoke and ricotta. First of all I was given 6 very small rolls, half of which were zucchini not eggplant! The eggplant was overcooked and stringy and while the tomato sauce on the plate was good it was drowning in parsley so it was hard to get the flavor by itself. The entire dish was also lukewarm at best.
On top of that it was incredibly hard to find a parking space to get to the restaurant in the first place. It was unfortunately not worth the effort.

What a gem! From the music selections to the last bite. Our experience was wonderful. Our server, Antonio was delightful. I ordered the house salad which was fresh and tasty and the vegetarian pizza with Italian sausage. Fantastic! Crispy crust and flavorful. My friend ordered the pasta with cabbage, peppers, and garlic sauce which was really good, too. We finished with a cannoli which was fresh and yummy. I will definitely be back.

Best pizza. Rivals that of Lombardi’s in New York City. The thin crust with the freshest ingredients was yummy. The inside of the restaurant is cozy, clean and lovely. The service was great! Thank you for being in Santa Fe.

Enjoyed eating here! Pizza tasted light & fresh. Liked their patio area! Enjoyed the Focaccia Bread & Tuscano Pizza with added green chili’s & sun dried tomatoes. Want to go back and try Tiramisu dessert.
Ok, came back two nights later and had the Tiramisu, and it was very good! We tried three pizza places while in Santa Fe and this was our favorite no doubt!
