| - In the mood for Italian, we ventured here for a bite. Did not disappoint!
Clean and simple exterior, the interior had some lovely touches including a very inviting bar area where you can watch the pizzas being made. We were greeted and sat quickly, and our drink orders taken. The waitress took time to make sure we got the right glass of wine and beer, which was much appreciated.
We started with a wood fired margherita pizza. The crust was amazing, sauce very fresh tasting. The waitress also brought us bread - one small garlic knot for each of us along with garlic oil pita pieces. We could have dined in the knots alone, amazing. We also enjoyed the pita, a different twist on bread with dinner.
Our meals were all good. I went simple with fettuccini marinara. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the same great sauce from the pizza. My brother in law got penne with meatballs and marinara, he really seemed to enjoy it. My sister got chicken piccata, she liked it well enough, but reported she'd have liked a bit more lemon to balance the capers. We all had plenty of leftovers, not just our dinners but also the pizza.
I think the one disappointment was the carrot cake. It was moist, but the frosting just wasn't quite right. Honestly, we had so much done right that I'll give them this one thing.
I look forward to my next trip to Fountain Hills to return to Sapori D'Italia.
