| - We had the pleasure to take out one of our good friends from Grayhawk for lunch. She really wanted to share this fine restaurant with us as well as some of her favorite dishes. Nice!
Both the inside and outside are decorated beautifully. There is a very nice covered patio outside that seats a large amount of people. It is very inviting with misters on the ceiling fans and tables and chairs that you would normally not see outside.
Inside is very elegant with a bar area that has several high top tables and chairs and another section closer to the open kitchen that has larger tables and some booths. Everything is decorated with a touch of class and a very comfortable vibe.
Ordered the Gamberi Limone for a starter and shared it with each other. The dish has Jumbo Shrimp with crushed Tomatoes, Garlic, Lemon, Shallots, Sherry and Tuscon Butter. It was so freaking tasty that we all wanted to lick the bowl afterwards.
Next we ordered the Fichi Pizza which has Figs, Prosciutto Crudo, Arugula, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Goat Cheese, Saba, & EVOO. It was also very delicious and we were fighting over the last piece.
We than ordered Risotto Funghi which has Wood oven-roasted Wild Mushroom, Parmesan, Pine Nuts, and Porcini Jus. I was surprised on how fast it came out and thought it was a little thicker and heavier than what we'd had in the past. It was still very good but very rich. Maybe I'm just not used to eating that kind of dish and thought it would be different.
This is a very nice restaurant and we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Definitely would recommend coming here and trying out their food. It may not be exactly what they eat in Italy and more of a Mediterranean version with a twist. Either way everything was very fresh and the service was friendly and most helpful. MAMA MIA!
