The rustic decor of SantaCafe in Santa Fe isn't just for show — the building is actually more than 150 years old and houses a 40-foot well. When Giada came here for dinner on her weekend getaway, she made sure to try the famous roasted Chiles Rellenos with chipotle cream sauce and mango salsa.

The Chocolate Maven Bakery in Santa Fe may appear unassuming from the outside, but on the inside it houses an award-winning cafe where customers can watch bakers working laboriously in the open kitchen. Giada was a fan of the Great Start Breakfast with granola and the Belgian chocolate brownie.

Giada thought the perfect ending to her weekend getaway in Santa Fe would be taking a hike at the mountain trails of The Bishop's Lodge. This resort also features two restaurants: the award-winning Las Fuentes Restaurant and Bar as well as the poolside Sunflower Bar & Grill.

Giada says Tia Sophia’s breakfast burrito makes for “the perfect hearty breakfast.” Soft tortillas are stuffed with bacon and hash browns, smothered in melted cheese and served with a poached egg on top. For added kick, order the Christmas version that comes with extra-spicy red and green chiles.

Todos Santos in Santa Fe is known both for its delicious handmade chocolates and its inventive Day of the Dead-inspired decor, making it a prime spot for Giada's Weekend Getaways. Giada helped herself to a variety of treats made with a special French dark chocolate known as Valrhona.

For the best fried seafood around, The Bite in Menemsha, Mass., is the crispy, fresh and piping hot answer. This cash-only, roadside shack is known for its fried fare, especially the belly clams; there are no clam strips here. A meal is best taken to go, on the beach with a side of "Bite" fries.
