| - I was craving Italian food, and there'd been some recently mixed reviews about a place I'd enjoyed on my last visit, so I set out for Dieci. It's in the Esplanade, which is this not-quite-mall that is largely deserted except for a large AMC. There are a few restaurants, though, and Dieci is one of them. It's comfortable, and service was excellent.
I began with the house salad (technically, a small, but it was still pretty substantial), which was tasty and well put together. I then moved on to chicken parmesan, which came on a bed of house-made spaghetti. In addition to the expected sauce/cheese, there was also a drizzle of balsamic, which took a little getting used to, but on the whole, everything was very tasty. Portions were plentiful (I think I left a spoonful of spaghetti just so that I'd feel less guilty when I went for gelato after), and the food was definitely quality. I'd certainly return if I were back in Phoenix.
