I have lived in north Phoenix for all my life and am always on the look out for new trendy places to eat. I had read an article on azcentral a few months back talking about this place and was excited to try it as it's right down the street from my house.
We arrived and were not disappointed by the beautiful patio and modern inside and bar. We were sat outside immediately and were greeted promptly by our server.
The concept is amazingly simple. You pick your meatballs, sauce, and your base. There are two price levels of meatballs 16 and 18 dollars. I opted for the dry aged ribeye meatballs with a truffle mushroom sauce over spaghetti. My wife was also pleased with the selections because she is allergic to tomatoes and they had multiple white sauce options as well.
Once we got our food (only reason for deducting a Star was the time it took to get our meal) the food was great. Pasta was perfectly cooked, meatballs were extremely flavorful and moist and the sauce was so good it will make you want to slap yo mama!
The general manager Gino came by and we had a nice conversation with him. He was extremely personable and you can tell he truly cares for the product he's putting out. I look forward to bringing my parents here for my wife's birthday dinner.
Highly recommend this little neighborhood gem for great happy hour, dinner and just a good hang out spot in general.
**update**
After going back multiple times after my first review, this 4 stars gets bumped to 5. Service has been great each and every time since our first visit. They have music playing on the patio on the weekends and the staff could not be more friendly.
