VERY happy to have found Gasper and Maria's place. The food is consistently delicious. The ingredients are fresh, well chosen for each dish and so flavorful. The Fettuccine alla Burina was the best mash-up of carbonara/alfredo that I've had. It was neither alfredo nor carbonara but its own very yummy thing.
The eggplant is thin and crispy with sauce just tangy enough but not too much so. Pappardelle is a favorite macaroni and its made here with mushrooms and garlic and just enough truffle oil. Could use a bit more salt as it was cooked but very tasty.
Must, must, must have one or two or three of Maria's homemade desserts. Cheesecakes are appropriately dense yet somehow light, and the cannoli is the best I've had in Arizona - much better than the usual overly sweet kind offered elsewhere.
Service is reliable, personable and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is just friendly enough.
My new favorite Italian joint.
