Carraro's Pizza & Italian Rest

I worked at Carraro's in the 1980s and it is and shall always be, my favorite job, even though I'm currently pulling down $98,000.00, annually. I struggled in the 80's, but I was so happy in those days. In fact, I was there during the construction and grand opening of Joe's Place. The patio in front of the bar and dining room has been enclosed. Wow! Looks so different. Happy memories from my time as a waiter, while attending UNM. Blessings

I am really fond of this place, though it's definitely in need of some serious renovations. They have a solid number of activities to choose from, pool, air-hockey, arcade games and the like as well as a jukebox which is really fun. The food is tasty and consistent, though not particularly remarkable. They have a decent selection of beers, but they are often missing half of the ingredients needed for mixed drinks, even for something as basic as an old-fashioned.

Love this dive bar. Throws you back in time. The staff working are very social and lively people, I've had a great experience with everyone working there so far. Old school entertainment throughout the whole odd building, games and a fireplace and pool table. Pacman! Two different bars in the space. They have a great menu! But no vegan options outside of the potatoes. Shelly the bartender was an absolute doll tonight. Loved the weirdness of this place when I first visited, and I've become a regular.

At first I thought it was just a barand walked in they ask for an ID so I thought that was great and then the bartender had the pizza ready I was picking it up for Postmates and everything went smoothly it seemed clean it seemed friendly so that's why I'm giving it five stars. It also had a very nice ambiance. Very comfortable vibe.

Awesome food, awesome atmosphere, and the family that owns this establishment are beautiful, accepting people. The staff is friendly and they go out of their way to make sure that you are satisfied with their attention. Just one word to people reading this, be careful where you park. You will be ticketed or towed. You guys rock!!!

Love love love their pizza! Great place to go play some pool or any bar games really. The layout of the building is pretty neat; it's a wrap around so you can go down one side of the building and come back around the other side. They have 2 bars, one in the front and one in the back. You know what that means--more beer! Good place if you want to just go chill and study.

Chill atmosphere and down to earth staff. Should clarify some of these bad reviews: first off it is illegal in the state of New Mexico to give out birthday drinks or drink vouchers so for the lady complaining about that you should write your congressman to get that law changed and not give a struggling local business a bad review because they’re doing their job. To the people talking about the corona prices, it’s $4.25 for a corona, not $4.50, but if you’re complaining about that perhaps you didn’t see the over 30 beers they have on tap ranging from $3-$5.50. Don’t like watching television at the bar? Then be an adult and don’t, they have 6 pool tables, air hockey, foosball, board games, and an occupancy load of over 200 which means plenty of other places to sit and other things to do. Before you write a bad review think for a second how lucky it is to have a local neighborhood bar to go to and just how much your review could hurt that.
