Authentic Italian restaurants are few and far between in the Phoenix area. This place is a definite repeat spot. The atmosphere has an old east coast flare to it. The wine list is expansive and well priced, regardless of the numerous specials they offer. And hey, the food is great. Flavorful and filling, each dish brings the comfort of home style Italian cooking that I crave since I moved out west from Philadelphia. On a particular note, the marinara is thin, but full of flavor. I recommend getting just a small bowl of it to dip your bread in! Yum!
