| - What a wonderful evening! My parents were in town and boyfriend (Chad) and I had the night off because it was my birthday. Being somewhat new to Arizona we were recommended to this place by a couple coworkers. We had a 730 reservation and when we got there at exactly 730, the place was packed and we were told that they were waiting for our table to leave. That's fine. We get it. We stood outside and waited. The table was finally ready at about 10 minutes to 8. But that was fine. We sat down at a table in the middle of the restaurant and our server, Sam , came over and greeted us. We ordered some wine to get things going as we looked over the menu. The person who brought the wine forgot one glass, but was so nice it didn't matter. A little while later Sam came back to see how we were doing. My parents don't go out much and were very overwhelmed. Between the 4 of us we had a zillion questions for the poor guy. And most of us took his recommendations. We started with bruschetta. Very tasty and actually good for sharing. You get to pick out 4 that you would like for $13. We got the smoked salmon with capers, the prosciutto with arugula, tomatoes and mascarpone, the fig and almond with ricotta and the date and goat cheese. So wonderful. Amazing. I could have eaten those all night long. But just as we finished those someone walked up with the meatballs and eggplant rollatini. Both items were awesome. The eggplant was filled with ricotta cheese and just delicious. And the meatballs were as tasty as a meatball could be. And decent portions too. I think we got 3 or 4 meatballs and they were huge! And the eggplant dish was also big enough where no one felt they were left out of it. On to the entrees. Mom had the Bria pizza. Although a she's not a vegetarian, she seems to pretend she is when she eats out. So that was perfect for her. Dad got the mushroom risotto which he loved and said was packed with mushrooms. Boyfriend got arrabiata with Italian sausage. He loved it but said it wasn't spicy like he thought it would be. Then again his spice tolerance is pretty high. I had one of the weekly specials. It was scallops estate (?). So good. Four jumbo scallops on a bed of linguine and julienned zucchini in a garlic, butter sauce. Couldn't go wrong. However we were stuffed. Sam took all of our plates and boxed them up. Chad had told Sam at some point that it was my birthday. I went to clean up after eating and when I came back chad said that they didn't do anything for birthdays there. That was fine by me as I was stuffed. So Sam came back with all our food boxed up and he was so nice and was chatting with us. When he walked away he said he would be right back with something sweet for me. You should have seen my face. Boyfriend got me good. What he brought out was amazing! Zeppole I think is what it was called. It was some combination of mini donuts, churros, croissants. I don't even know. And it had raspberry and chocolate dipping sauce. And it too was huge!!! So delicious. I was on cloud nine. Boyfriend and I will be back for date night. And thank you to Sam for making my birthday so memorable.
