| - The best hidden gem in Arizona. This place doesn't just have the atmosphere that you want for a nice lunch, or romantic dinner, it has the artisan hands-on quality you would expect from the best pizze in Italy.
They give you a plate of in-house marinated kalamata olives that are just to die for. I could eat just the olives all day. They also give you fresh baked bread with the best olive oil you've ever had. At this point in the meal, I was already thinking about my next trip back.
Both the antipasti, packed with flavor and excitement. The meatballs, in an excellent marinara, just perfectly cooked and seasoned. Roasted veggies with burrata, equally as great. The burrata was fresh, light, creamy, and tart; paired perfect with roasted beets. We also tried the special, peppadew peppers stuffed with Italian sausage; one bite of intense flavors perfectly combined. I'd try any special they offered, and I will for future visits.
The wood fired pizze? Amazing, to say the least. We had the Elana, sopressata, olives, amazing tomato sauce, and fresh hand formed mozzarella. I will be back to try every single one on the menu.
I have nothing bad to say about this place what so ever. The owner, who served us, is friendly and very accommodating. They have something very special going on here. They have made a regular out of me.
Update: Went back again today, yes two days later. This is the kind of place where you find yourself saying, "Yeah maybe I don't like anti-pasti because I've had it before and it wasn't very good", but you order it here, and it becomes the best thing you have ever had. I suggest, if it's something you wouldn't normally order, order it here, because it may just become the best thing you've ever had.
