\"Best<\/p>\n

This winery and pizzeria has been a Las Cruces institution for a long time, specifically located in the Mesilla area.<\/p>\n

The focus here is on wine, pasta, and pizza with interesting and unique toppings, like the verdure (a pizza with melanzane (eggplant), bell pepper, and mozzarella) or the Messicana (a pizza with green chiles, prosciutto cotto, and mozzarella).<\/p>\n

The outdoor ambiance is magnetic, with twinkling lights and a beautiful garden, and there’s often live music. You can even order a flight of wine before deciding on a bottle.<\/p>\n
