hen you’re exploring Canyon Road, Caffe Greco is the perfect stop for break fast, lunch, or a snack. Housed in a 300-year-old adobe, the cozy café boasts a colorful interior, a romantic kiva fireplace, and an inviting outdoor patio. Sit down with a cup of Lavazza Italian coffee and peruse the chalkboard’s list of daily specials, such as an Abruzzo roast beef sandwich, a Sorrento salmon, or a Canyon Cobb salad. The kitchen is helmed by chef Cindy Barreras, a fourth-generation New Mexican who uses all-natural ingredients in her New Mexican specialties— breakfast burritos, enchiladas, huevos rancheros—and in her Reubens, panini, soups, fresh salads, and baked goods. You’ll find vegetarian and gluten-free options as well. Inspired by a café they discovered during their travels in Italy, owners Michael and Rita Linder opened Caffe Greco two years ago and plan to expand soon. The Linders have created a welcoming oasis for visitors who need a respite from shopping and for locals who enjoy the delicious food, friendly service, and relaxing ambiance. The restaurant also offers complimentary wi-fi and free parking in the lot across the street.
