Finally finally got a chance to eat here last Wednesday with Ms. C and Mr. K!! Everyone else wussed out claiming excess work and meetings and blah blah blah. Anyway, we arrived at 5:45 PM and the restaurant was packed. It was a 2 hour wait and since we never ever get the chance to eat out anymore, we stuck it out. Ms. C and I sat in the lawn chairs underneath a romantic string of Christmas lights and shared a bottle of Pinot Noir ($36) which was soft, round, and lovely. K had a beer.
90 minutes later we were starving and shared a cheese panini appetizer. At exactly 7:50 PM we were seated at our table. After a bottle of wine, Ms. C and I were feeling rather swell. We looked at the wine list and debated about which glass of wine to get. Then we laughed and said "screw it" let's just have another bottle! This time it was the Cabernet Sauvignon. I had an early early morning flight the next day, and believe me I wasn't looking so good in PHX Terminal 4 at 8 AM.
I think it's a trick that Bianco has--get you liquored up and relaxed so that a meal that really should cost only $50 for 3 people, ended up being $120. Haha...he really got us! We got 2 salads: the Mozzarella and the Farmers Market salad. Both were satisfying. The FM salad was interesting with arugula and pomegranates.
We shared 3 pizzas: the Rosa, Wiseguy, and Sonny Boy. All 3 were delicious. I'd definitely come back again but only WITH reservations.
