Regardless if you’re there for happy hour, Sunday brunch, dinner, or one of their special events, Scalo won’t disappoint you. It’s one of the very best, consistently good restaurants in Albuquerque. Scalo’s chief and wait staff will make your dinning experience one that will make you want to return again.

The mussels are still fantastic: large and bathed in a delicious, slightly spicy tomato broth, generous enough to be a meal in itself, with a salad. The new chef has added a few items to the recently reconfigured menu, which is ambitious. We enjoyed good service, good company and good food. A notch down from the last chef, but still worth repeated visits.

We were seated upstairs away from other guests and the staff were very friendly, attentive and professional. The food was delicious and so was the wine. 10 people were served and everyone had glowing reviews of their food.

Overall good food, and a really nice outdoor seating area. Service is good. The food was great the first time I went, but this time seemed more average. My pasta sauce was supposed to have meat in it but barely had any. The mocktail was really good. Overall a good atmosphere but food should be amazing based on the high prices.
