| - 3 stars may be a stretch for our first time visit. Every time I drove by, the place was packed and I was anxious to try it. Despite my sister's negative review on her visit with the family. Well, she was right. First, I wanted to try the chickpea fries(pannelle). Normally, I never add salt to an item, but these lacked in flavor. So, we ordered what seemed to be the highlight of the restaurant-meatballs. Pick your meatballs, pasta and sauce. I ordered the crab and shrimp- very tasty. My husband ordered the steak-very disappointing. But the sad part was the pasta! Both of ours were over cooked . Mushy might be a better word. That is one thing an Italian restaurant should be amazing at and they were not. Coming from an Italian family, Calabrese to be exact, I was hoping for a great Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. We may try again, maybe a lunch instead. Otherwise, the drive to our favorite restaurant near Scottsdale and Shea will do.
