| - We had been going to the chinese place in the same parking lot for a month or two, and I had been meaning to give this place a try... And holy crap, I think I have a new favorite place to eat lunch.
The first visit, we asked the guy at the register what would be good for a first-timer to try, and he said the Philly Cheese Steak is the best in AZ. So I had that, and I don't know if it's better than a Corleone's cheese steak, but it was definitely good, and certainly priced much better.
Visit #2, I went with a half plate of the meat lasagna. Delicious. The sauce is flavorful, and the half plate, which comes with a side of garlic toast, is more than enough food.
Visit #3, I had the half chicken parmigiana sandwich and a slice of new york cheesecake. The sandwich was saucy, cheesy, and all around great. The cheesecake was probably a B+... Not quite what you get at, say, the Carnegie Deli, but nothing to scoff at.
There is all kinds of other crap on the menu that will bring you back for many visits. A colleague had Il Purista sandwich, with homemade mozzarella, panscetta, among other things. The counter is rife with delicious looking salads and desserts, and there are countless sandwiches and pastas. There is even pizza, which I haven't even delved into yet.
The best part is the price. You can generally get out of there with a $10 or so lunch, and considering the quality of the food, it's a very good price.
I could eat here every day.
