Dropped into this place for an early Saturday dinner. Place was packed which was a good sign but was seated fairly quickly regardless. Waitress was very good without being overbearing. Food was pretty good for Phoenix as Italian is not a strong suit in this town at all. I also appreciate the fact they make fresh pasta in house which was evident after eating the food. I had the ricotta gnocchi which was very tasty and my wife had the bacon and eggs pizza which was also excellent, and in my opinion way better than pizzeria bianco down the street that everyone raves about (I have no idea why). A few negatives which knocks this place down a few stars are first this place is very noisy, so much if fact it is very difficult to have a conversation without yelling across the table. My advice for anyone that wants a more intimate setting is to find another place, or maybe sit outside as the noise kills the mood. The other is while i was finishing my beer I put my mug down with a little over 1/3 left and a waiter came by and swiped it off the table before I could even notice assuming I was done. Really? If I am paying $7 for a CAN of beer you better make sure I am done, and even more maybe ask me if I am done?
