First of all, the decor and look of this place is really cool. The ceilings are very high and the patio is relaxing, especially during these beautiful AZ nights in the spring.
To start, I had the Red Sangria. I don't know what it is with me and sangria but their sangria was super yummy! The rest of the table had different glasses of wine and no one complained. For the appetizers, we went with the Crisp Calamari and the Steamed Pei Mussels. The Calamari is more like half salad half calamari but nonetheless delicious! The arugula pairs so well with the calamari, my boyfriend doesn't particularly like arugula but he loved the way it tasted with the calamari. The mussels were perfect and the white wine butter garlic sauce is so good. TIP: If there's extra at the end, save the bowl and order a side of bread to dip in it, you won't regret it!! On another visit I got to try the Grilled Cauliflower. They top it with a fried egg which is great to break the yoke up all over the cauliflower. Creaminess mixed with the savoriness of the cauliflower is a flavor explosion.
For the entrees, my boyfriend and I ordered two dishes and split them both, I highly suggest sharing with a friend so you get to try multiple items!! We went with the Ricotta Gnocchi and Prosciutto Wrapped Pork Tenderloin. The flavors that came from both of these dishes...WOW, just wow. The Gnocchi might be the best gnocchi I've had in AZ. It's so creamy and delicious. I don't even like horseradish but it works to beautifully in this dish. The pork tenderloin was cooked perfectly and sat on a bed of great northern beans. Everything just paired perfectly with each other. Zach's dad ordered the Margherita Pizza and luckily I got to have a couple bites! Their dough and pasta is made fresh daily and you can really tell that it is, it's so fresh!! The pizza tasted refreshing, like they went out back hand picked the tomatoes and basil, and then made a pizza.
Lastly, the desserts. I don't even know where to begin. The Salted Caramel Budino and the Tiramisu. I would take one bit of one, and then have a bite of the other, then repeat. The flavor from each was so unique and vibrant that it did not overpower the flavor of the other dessert, making the one bite repeat possible and successful. The Salted Caramel Budino has me lost for words when it comes to flavor. The sweetness of the caramel paired with the salt is like unicorns prancing on rainbows on your tongue. The Tiramisu is also heavenly delicious. You can't go wrong no matter what you choose!
To sum it up for anyone who doesn't feel like reading the novel I just wrote, check out this restaurant and be prepared to spend some money if you want the full experience. The staff is super friendly and on point. I can't wait to go back to try more dishes!!
