| - Great ambiance, staff and feel to this place!
The food, on the other hand, was quite the opposite I must say. The set up is great; I've never been to Italy, and though I doubt this place is anything like it, I really felt like I was in an Italian restaurant in Sicily. Not really. The outdoor patio looked like a quaint place to dine. Subtle candle lighting, stone walls and patrons w/ red wine.. I was hoping a gondola would gently cruise by. But it didn't. We were in Arizona, sheesh! What was I thinking?!
Anyways, as mentioned, the place is well maintained and is very inviting. Our friendly host inquired where we were from, LA, and mentioned he was from Alhambra.. But I'm from the SGV.. I'm the only person supposed to be here from the SGV Foo! We were sat in a booth that barely sat our party of 4. I'm not big, nor were the people I was with.. With that being said, the table itself, too, was somewhat miniature. I was bumping elbows with my father basically the whole time and footsies with the family friend across from me. Mind you, my father is only around 5'7 and I'm 5'10. We're not big people, yet found ways to cross paths and graze one another more than once during our visit.
Our table ordered 4 salads and two pretty basic pizzas; Margarita and Pepperoni (not to my choosing) *grunts. Can we get more generic?? I grabbed a Caesar which was appropriately made. Our pizza's arrived and both practically took up the entire table. I'm not sure what to expect when I get pizza.. it's not necessarily something I go out of my way for, and between 'NY' style and 'Chicago', I like both almost equally. Anyways, I suppose this was NY style because the crust was ultra thin. Not only was it thin, but it lacked lots of flavor. I mean.. with no seasoning and a paper thin crust, the toppings better be the best I've EVER had. ..And because we ordered the barest pizza's of them all, I can't say the pizza was great. Cheese was cheese and pepperoni's were a little greasy, which in turn, created a soggy center. Long story short, the pizza was pretty plain and kind of reminded me (no offense to the chef's / owner's) of microwave / frozen pizza. I actually added a grip of Parmesan for the sake of my taste buds. Aye Don Vito, wassa' happenin' back there?!
With a fairly high price for a pizza pie that contained minimal flavors ..overall I feel the meal wasn't really worth it.
