I'm extremely picky when it comes to Italian food. Growing up outside Manhattan with an Italian heritage makes you develop high standards. This restaurant always delivers a great meal. My favs: penne ala vodka and the eggplant parmesan. The penne ala vodka has the perfect cream to marinara ratio. The pasta is always cooked al dente. The eggplant parm was rolled perfectly and stuffed with ricotta. Great service and atmosphere with outdoor seating. One of my favorite Italian restaurants in the Phoenix area.
