| - I dropped in today to have a decent meal, tired of the bbq and burger joints in this area. Iwas so happy to find a clean and welcoming restaurant that was not blasting loud music. Instead, the music was hip but not" bubble gummy", smooth but not drowsy. This is important to me because ambienace and atmosphere help my dining experience. I want to enjoy my conversation and be relaxed.
Anyway, the Manager greeted me and sat me promptly. The bar was quaint but enough. I didnt feel closed in. The wine list was more than I anticipated. Im no wine snob but there were several selections of Pinots, Reds, Chardannays etc... I had heard of from various Regions.
The Staff was attentive but not pushy. I started with an Arugula and White Bean salad, which was very good; tangy and sweet and ample sized for a salad. I then chose the Italian Sausage and Pasta; it was spicy without spoiling the other flavors in the dish of Bell peppers and spices and onions. The marinara sauce was perfectly balanced between chunky without being too soupy.
I will definately return thanks to the very good service, the atmosphere,the variety of drinks and winer, the delicious menu and appetizers, and the potential for this being a regular spot for taking a date while in Arizona.
BTW, there is ample parking and access for all. Too bad the rest of the shopping center isn't as nicely kept as Babbo Eatery.
