Food- AMAZING. And by amazing I mean, I've been to Italy and this is the real deal. The gnocchi is made in house and I've literally never had a pasta that was so fluffy & light, perfectly matched with rich Gorgonzola sauce & mushrooms(next time we'll try to add pesto upon the owner's suggestion!). The Fig & Brie appetizer was a great start pairing of sweet preserves & creamy cheese onto hearty baguette slices. We also tried a custom veggie pizza and whatever they're process is for making the crust, it's divine. Chewy, salted to perfection, with a bright & acidic Napolitano sauce buried beneath layers of real mozzarella and deliciously charred, this was one for the books. Tiramisu is OFF THE CHAIN. Not kidding, this was better than any of the desserts I had in Italy--the ladyfingers weren't overly soaked and mushy, and it was beautifully presented. I could keep going on about their food but, I'll stop long enough to mention the vibe/service.
Service-our server was awesome and matched our sense of humor with witty interaction and had our order memorized perfectly. Was attentive but not annoying and was great about timing all the food! Then the owner walked around to every table to make sure everything was up to par and I even saw him helping bus tables, which in my opinion really shows there is a lot of love and care put into this place. He wound up comping our dessert and throwing in limoncello for our anniversary and we were totally overwhelmed at such a kind gesture, I wish more restaurants had this level of service!
Vibe-it can be as casual or fancy as you want! We sat on the patio and their misting system, bar TV and seating completed the more casual vibe of the outside area, while patrons seated indoors looked cozy and comfortable.
Overall this place is a total gem and we will be making a point to return every time we visit Phoenix, you won't regret making a reservation here!
