| - Went here for a bachelorette party (yeah, we were the loud group of 9 gals) on a Sat night; Our server, Tommy, was great (5 starts) - he was friendly, quick, and got our orders and checks split properly. I felt bad for him because we one of those obligatory token drunk girls (not the bride-to-be, thankfully) with us being completely loud and obnoxious .. he just smiled pleasantly and did his job - Kudos to Tommy!
The ambiance is nice and it was a nice setting for our little intimate event. The menu was quite pizza-centric, but when is that a bad thing? I liked how their crust was really thin and crunchy and they had quite a selection of pizzas and wines. Note however that when one of my friends ordered 'just a merlot', the waitress (another girl helping out) brought out a $10+ glass of Merlot.. not the 'house' Merlot, but a premium Merlot. Nice job there.
Here's where the minus stars come in:
-1) Ordered a macchiato. This was bitter and astringent, a sign that the beans were under-extracted.
-1) Our Toscano pizza was not impressive with the flavor nor the ingredients... it lacked in unity and harmony of flavor.
I think I could give this place another shot, however... since I rarely venture in to Scottsdale for dinner, I'm not sure I'll get another chance in the near future. In short, I've had better and it was OK for me.
