First inclination of this restaurant is that would be a dumbed-down version of Virtu in attempt to appease the less sophisticated, more frugal residents of the southeast valley. Much to my delight, Chef Gio didn't skip a beat when putting together the menu. While no doubt the menu's construction was considerate of the wallets and palates of the local diners, the food was a home run.
The whole meal we had was exquisite. On our first visit, we opted for the now famous Lasagna, thanks to Beat Bobby Flay, as well as the Chicken which many others have mentioned here on Yelp.
Our bookends were the warm olives with homemade Focaccia (outrageously good) and the sticky toffee cake which left us speechless.
Definitely the new star of Downtown Gilbert
