There are tons of good Italian joints in Tempe, this place is not one of them. I expected more, given the reviews. But the food was very mediocre, and the service was terrible. They seated us right in front of the door, even though there were other tables open and when we asked to move the waitress was extremely rude. The manager was nice, and he took care of us the rest of the meal. The dessert was decent, but the main course and the side salads were not great. We ordered lasagna, chicken parm and another chicken dish that I can't remember the name of. All were lukewarm and we're either prepared earlier in the day, or they sat under a heatlamp for a while. If you really want some good Italian, try one of the other great places in Tempe. Even Oregenos has better pasta than this place.
