I don't live in Phoenix, but I visit it often. And with each trip, I like to try something new. However, Times Square won me over and I have been back a couple of times.
This is a great local joint with a really unpretentious environment. And you know what? It doesn't need it. The food and service makes up for the basic interior.
I will say that you really need to try either the Pescatore or the Pasta Giovanni. Both are fantastic. I swear they must come from grandma's old recipe box because they taste like they've been perfected over the years. Both have amazing flavor. The wine list is a tad small but they have enough to get the job done.
Everyone there is incredibly friendly and are happy to recommend their favorites. Their prices are very reasonable for the portions and it's highly likely you will walk away full and happy.
