    Amazing food! Our waiter Giulio was very attentive and answered all of our questions. His recommendations were great, service was quick and everything was fresh. We had a second server, Chloe, who was equally as friendly. 10/10, would return if I’m back in Phoenix

    Stopped in for an impromptu dinner (no reservation) and ended up having a great dining experience. I was immediately sat outside. I skipped the bread but the focaccia looked amazing. The star of the show was the short rib pasta which was homemade fantastic pasta with a rich short rib sauce with lots of meat. Huge portions! I finished with the tiramisu which initially seemed small but melted in your mouth and was incredibly filling. Seriously worth it!! I washed it all down with a couple of healthy pours of delicious white wine. I look forward to coming back!!

    We dropped in for a light lunch on Friday. The food is very authentic Italian! We had calamari, carpaccio, and focaccia bread with amazing pesto dipping suace! The presentation was beautiful! The service was wonderful! We will certainly star this as a place to visit when in town next January! I highly recommend it for authentic! Thanks for a great dining experience!

    Parking is in the same block - garage. They can validate. The average rating is slightly inflated IMO… the food is good here - but nothing outstanding. Pasta could be more al dente. Can recommend their zucchini chips. The surrounding area is a bit sketch - some homeless can disturb the peace.

    Decided to go here to eat before a show. We had rsvp at 415pm, arrived at 430pm. Place was dead, a group of 6, 2 tables of 2. We were sat at a tiny table when booths were available. Asked to move and it seemed to be an issue. We were told we could have this specific booth but there was another rsvp for it at 7pm. Ok it's 430pm. Next, our pretty waitress, was kinda rude and like put out when my friend asked questions. Loved the bottle of wine I chose, cab, Scarpetta. Calamari wasn't seasoned well, carrots had a smokey flavor, no marinara sauce. I ordered Fusilloni Rosso with a salmon filet. I thought it was pretty good. My friend ordered Macceroni Al Forno, very mid. Also no bread was served with our pasta. For roughly $80 each, service and food should be better. I would give 3.5 if I could.
