Crust El Paso, El Paso

At Crust, Mark Heins and his team put a gourmet spin on classic Italian cuisine, making even the most familiar dishes memorable. According to one El Paso Times writer, “If you're ever going to eat spaghetti and meatballs at a restaurant, this is that restaurant.” Pizzas topped with broccoli rabe and ricotta, short ribs braised in red wine, and house-cured duck prosciutto are just a few specialties. Sears also dreams up off-menu recipes each day to highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients. Patrons can sip craft beers, cocktails, and robust wines within Crust’s chic interior or bring them outside to a patio.
