| - Tommy's Place is a fresh addition to the North Phoenix dining scene and offers what the area has needed for a long time; a cozy, spotless, comfortable atmosphere where you can relax and have some amazing Italian food. On two separate visits the food and service were top notch. Calamari fra Diavolo appetizer is a must try and gives the classic fried version a welcomed kick of spiciness that we absolutely enjoyed (had that on both visits). The pasta selection is reminiscent of what you would find in Little Italy, not many places can make a decent Linguine and Clams, Tommy's is very good with a nice balance of garlic, olive oil and white wine, the only thing left on the plate were clam shells. The Mediterranean salad was a nice plate to share with a good vinaigrette, artichoke hearts, calamata olives and feta and you can add chicken if you like. We had the salad and a pizza on our last visit, the pizza crust was light, flavorful and baked just right. Cannolis and espresso rounded out the meal and both were once again like being back on Mulberry Street, NYC. We will be regulars, because this is the kind of place that on your first visit they greet you like an old friend and the next time you go back you're family...that's how we felt when we walked in on our second visit.
