We went to New Mexico for vacation and looked for a place to eat. We definitely made the right choice choosing Roso’s Ristorante. The pastas were really great, and especially the crab cake—it was our first time trying it, and we loved it. Big shoutout to John, our main server. He was very accommodating and helpful. Also, to Claire, one of the servers, a Filipina with a warm smile who welcomed us so kindly. John and Claire, they both made our dining experience even more special.

So often when you go to eat in a tourist town, it can be a great disappointment or a wonderful surprise. I am pleased to report this is the latter. We ate here based on the reviews and they were accurate. We sat on the patio overlooking the river and it is beautiful. We ordered drinks, my husbands tea was flavorful and fresh and my lemonade was very good (no alcohol 🫤). Bread came with the meal and although it seemed store bought it was fresh. The bruschetta was very good. I had lasagna and it has a great marinara sauce and the noodles were not overcooked. My husband had the chicken Parmesan and it was also very good. Chicken not over breaded and the noodles that can with it were not overcooked either. Overall very good.

Another great Italian place in town. Loved it! 😚👌 Sat outside in the shade of tall pines. Perfect weather for Memorial Day weekend. My wife and I ordered the Bruchetta, Vodka alla Chicken, Spaghetti, and triple berry layered cake. Everything was delicious 🤤. This place did not disappoint. We’ll be back.

Wonderful little restaurant with a view over looking the river if one sits on the patio. I had the chef special: Cajun chicken with linguini. The sauce was very good and the chicken was so tender. It wasn't as spicy as I had hope, in fact I could barely taste the Cajun seasoning. Irregardless, I enjoyed it...and their bread! Omgosh! The servers were very sweet and did their best yo be attentive. There was only the one chef, so the meals were a bit alow coming out, but.it was not too bad. No bar, which made me sad as I would have enjoyed wine with my pasta, but definitely not a Deterrent to return.

We really enjoyed our experience here. Chicken Marsala was on the specials menu - the sauce was delicious, and the chicken was cooked properly! My wife said her Pasta Arrabiatta was perfect, and it was spicy, as it should be, but so often isn't at restaurants. We only have one other actual Italian restaurant (not counting Cafe Rio's pizza joint) and Ruidoso badly needed legit Italian food! Thanks for a great food, and we hope you stick around for a long time! PS photos look red because of the red umbrellas and sun on them
