I have a culinary background and an affinity for good Italian food! That said, I CANNOT understand how there are any negative reviews about the food, the staff or the atmosphere at Uncle Sals!
I have been here more times than I care to admit and I have NEVER walked out feeling anything other than very satisfied and impressed.
True classic Italian food! Everything is EXCELLENT...from the Lobster Ravioli to the Braised Beef...from the pizza's to the fresh fish with picata sauce (flown in daily)...from the crab cakes to the smoked salmon bruschetta...and of course tons of amazing classic pasta dishes - you will NOT be disappointed.
Only thing that doesn't "wow" me is their ceasar salad so I always opt for the soup...which is almost always wonderful (regardless of which one I get).
The tiramisu is absolutely heavenly!!!
The staff has never been anything other than professional and courteous. Most of their staff has been there for multiple years which is usually a very good sign for a restaurant. The atmosphere is a throwback to the classic East Coast, family owned Italian joint. The bar area has a seperate menu (smaller portions and smaller price tags) - good luck getting a seat in there lol
The place is almost always packed so call ahead for reservations.
Trust and believe, these folks know what they're doing.
Side note - the outside sitting area is EXCELLENT. If you choose to sit outside during mosquito season, you'll get bitten accordingly lol That goes for almost anywhere in AZ...not just Uncle Sals.
GO AND ENJOY!
