rev:text	Decided I'd try a longtime bookmark while "in the area." (It took me 27 minutes to drive from Tempe's SWIHA to Gilbert's Rise Up Bakery, and then another four minutes to Zappone's.) I'm so glad I did! I was promptly greeted at the door, and I inquired if I had to sit at the bar to enjoy the happy hour menu, or would I be able to sit anywhere, and the greeter said I could sit anywhere. I almost sat at the bar, but it's such as small space (five or six high bar chairs), and I didn't want to sit with my back to the front entrance, so I chose to sit at a red leather-backed booth/four-top. Slightly dark indoors, but not too dark to drive me away. I eat with my eyes as well as my mouth, y'know. Happy hour menu features a $1 off house cocktails, $4 glasses of house wines, $4 well drinks, $3 drafts, 15% off wine bottles, a few $5 apps, a $5 Caesar salad, and a $3 bowl of "warm olives." A shout-out to server Caressa, who made me feel so welcome; She was friendly, patient, and understanding in regards to my questions regarding food allergies. No negative vibes here! She also took my requests to sample three wines (a house red, a house white, and Cannon Ball Chardonnay-- I went with the $8 glass of Chardonnay). http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zappones-italian-bistro-gilbert?select=XVYmbangVxnZOzyg1iEY7A Because of the terrific customer service shown to me, I decided I'd go with three courses: Jake's Mac-n-Cheese, $5. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zappones-italian-bistro-gilbert?select=vLtofR0wyZ6f_C4IiaCf8QLoved this dish featuring alfredo, mozzarella on penne and topped with pancetta! Smoky and cheesy, and a lovely bite/chew from the penne, and a great value! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zappones-italian-bistro-gilbert?select=s7n3g1f5GGZen1IDEA1gBA Sausage & Onion Pizza, $5. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zappones-italian-bistro-gilbert?select=Ab8QiySsWeWb65xnsbcuWwSo what if it looked like it might be soggy from the marinara sauce and its crust a bit thicker than I'd like it to be? It had Italian sausage (from Chicago) on it- it had to be good! And it was! Enjoyed a small slice of the eight-inch pizza and had the rest boxed, for I was about to enjoy the second course... http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zappones-italian-bistro-gilbert?select=DVDNPddHFaJZwbvSG8PsHw Fettuccine Alfredo, with chicken, $16. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zappones-italian-bistro-gilbert?select=c1-3ilR_MHMxirPZJu8Z0AI chose this entree, because it was one of two pasta entrees that did not include marinara** as an ingredient, it also featured one of the two pasta varieties made in-house! (The other is ravioli.) The sauce was silky smooth (no clumps!) and just salty enough to make me reach for "just one more" forkful. Didn't feel greasy, either. One of the best Alfredos I've had, and I'd definitely order it again. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zappones-italian-bistro-gilbert?select=Ra4JlgX22HJRwTNnxLEPXw I could've ended the meal there- I certainly ate more than I wanted, but the cheesecake was calling my name... Mascarpone cheesecake, with blueberry compote, $6. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zappones-italian-bistro-gilbert?select=MfPbCAC7dtAvz-eaVGtz7gThe desserts are made in-house, with the exception of the gelato and sorbettos, which come from Italy. Couldn't try the sfogliatelle and cannoli due to the powdered sugar content, so cheesecake it had to be, and I was THRILLED! It was beautiful to look at, fun to photograph, and very delightful to eat. It had this golden-brown top layer that was so gratifying to cut through with a fork, and perfect-to-me center that was neither too firm, nor too whipped, and a not-very-sweet graham cracker crust. The blueberry topping was exquisite! I cannot gush about this sweet concoction enough! I contemplated on taking a whole cheesecake home ($36) and appeased myself by planning on ordering one for Christmas, should Mom and I get an invitation to lunch/dinner. While the holiday catering menu only listed Peppermint chocolate cheesecake as the only dessert option, Carissa told me I could ask for any flavor I wanted. I quite fancied the one I tried tonight! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zappones-italian-bistro-gilbert?select=1RuD3bxX6bS1FVpfTs3TAw Miscela d'Oro Americano, $2.50, with $0.50 refills. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zappones-italian-bistro-gilbert?select=jghr9T7Vkuc_crNbYO4bAw Feast of the Seven Fishes menu, Dec. 9th, 6pm, $50 all-inclusive! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zappones-italian-bistro-gilbert?select=vT6GnHLad0qXRDnqLBIudg Holiday Pre-sale menu! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zappones-italian-bistro-gilbert?select=DuFrbCx-KnD7ROUxpK4Qfg FYI, Zappone's also offers weekly dine-in specials! $6 Spaghetti & meatballs with house salad on Mondays and Tuesdays; 50% off all wine bottles, all day Wednesdays; and Buy one pizza and get 50% off second pizza all day Thursdays.
