This restaurant is a hidden gem. From the moment we entered we felt welcome. Even though we were early for our reservation, we were seated immediately. Debbie, our server, was warm and friendly and very knowledgeable. We travel extensively and dine out frequently and the food was among the best Italian in the States. I had the cioppino and my husband had the linguine with clams. Both dishes we're outstanding. This is a must visit if you are in Phoenix.
