Upscale classy atmosphere without seeming like they're trying too hard. It's a nice change from some of the trendier Scottsdale establishments. There was a good variety of entrees with veal, chicken, and seafood which run $20 - $25 plus a couple of pizzas that sounded good. For better or worse, not much in the way of pasta and other "traditional" Italian dishes you'd find at the Olive Garden.
Everything was good but on the heavy side. The Chicken Martini consisted of a huge pounded out chicken breast breaded and fried, topped with parmesan cheese and a heavy sauce. At least it came with freshly steamed vegetables! The Chicken Picasso was served on a huge bed of cooked spinach and was covered with a thick cream/cheese sauce of some type. The caesar salad was delicious; unfortunately I'm sure it was loaded with fat and calories, as it was drenched in rich creamy dressing.
The service was good; no complaints there. I appreciated that the waiter asked if we wanted to split a salad, or else we might have each ordered one and would have ended up with way too much food. And they kept our water glasses filled throughout the meal.
From our table in the dining room we could see into the bar area where there was a singer doing cover songs. Once I got over the cheese factor I had to admit that he actually did a decent rendition of some songs I like. This seems like a nice place for a date or a big family dinner.
