Casa Mia is the only life left in an otherwise deserted strip mall at 136th and Via Linda in Scottsdale. The fact that it has survived when everything around it has died is a testament to the quality of the food and service. The pasta is excellent. My favorite dishes are the seafood pasta and the homemade sausage. My wife enjoys the pasta bolognaise and several of the veal dishes. Everything appears to be home made and that takes extra time so expect to pay more then you would expect. As an example a moderately sized serving of pasta is $20 with most of the entrees in the $20-$30 price rage. So if you want to splurge a bit on some of the best Italian food in the valley, go to Casa Mia.
