Don't be fooled by the strip mall pizzeria "look" to this place. I'll admit..when I walked inside...I still sensed "spaghetti joint"..leave your preconceptions in the parking lot! Its not fancy inside..but this spot serves up some terrific cocktails..excellent food and very professional service. waiters seem to work in teams...and they are very friendly and efficient. had a cocktail called a cable car--capt. morgan mixed with orange curacao. absolutely delicious. my son had an old fashioned....wife and daughter split a nice bottle of pinot grigio. for openers we shared mozzarella sticks...very good. 2 of us had the veal parm.....the other two had the shrimp scampi. we all gave our meals very high grades. Best part of the meal are the prices....incredibly reasonable. we all split some decadent dessert. Ok..so its not romantic or intimate...but if fantastic Italian food is your goal....you have found yourself a gem in the desert! Mangia!
