| - Decided to check out this new Gilbert restaurant, we drive by it all the time since it's only about a mile from our home. Very pretty and clean looking inside, naturally with an Italian theme. The husband and sis-in-law enjoyed the escargot, and courses were served fairly quickly. I had their chicken special, with a wine marsala sauce that I enjoyed very much. Everyone else had linguini with clams, but one of the dishes had a spicy heat to it that they didn't mention on the menu. If you don't like spicy dishes you should make sure you ask about it first. The dishes were also a little on the salty side.
They were also small portions, and served on big plates on small tables and we didn't have a lot of room between the four of us. Husband is currently eating again while I write this because he is still hungry. Smaller portions aren't a problem, but the meals are pretty pricey for what you get. I give it two dollar signs in this review, but you're going to pay $15-$20 a meal unless you are a child.
The three stars are really for the service and atmosphere. GREAT service, and a nice place to take friends or family. They also had a live musician playing the viola for the patrons, which of course made me smile, being a violist myself. :-) Other than that, the food is good but with the prices I won't be able to dine there very often.
