Red Rooster, Pojoaque

Location

Less than a mile west of Pojoaque on the south side of the Los Alamos highway (highway 502)

Review

This is a very good Italian restaurant. I can especially recommend: Baked artichoke dip (appetizer), Chile Verde pizza (green chile and garlic), Pomo Fresca pizze (fresh tomatoes and basil), Bagna Calda pasta (anchovies and garlic in cream sauce), Eggplant parmesan pasta, Aglio oglio pasta (garlic and olive oil)

I should note that the sauces are not made ahead of time. Therefore you should expect to wait awhile. They are definately worth the wait.

My wife and I have been going there whenever we feel the need for Italian food (even with our kids) because it's so good.

They have a liquor license.
