I've been back to this particular location a few times since my initial review three years ago. I was very impressed by our last visit although our server was a little slow for my taste. The food was very good. I had an Classic pasta dish with sausage and meatballs which was about as good as any I've had. Regretfully our first loaf of bread was not fresh and seemed stale and reheated. It was eventually replaced with the typical hot out of the oven small tear apart loaf. Two other diners with me had shrimp pasta dishes which I thought were also quite good. The scampi however could have used more lemon as it tasted fresh but slightly flat. We dined on a Thursday not knowing that is half price for a bottle of wine night. We were able to order a $32 bottle of vino along with our meal. The portions are very large and I would recommend sharing with other diners unless you want another take home left over meal the next day. I like this location in north Phoenix adjacent to the Desert Hills outdoor shopping center. This certainly isn't the best Italian fare around but it's the best of the chains hands down . . . Better than Olive Garden or Carrabas
