| - Italy meets Glendale in this casual restaurant, everything from the little market upon entering, the waiter from Italy, and most importantly the food!!!
Let's start with the service. Absolutely wonderful!!!!! From our entrance, which was warm and friendly until the moment we left. Our server was fabulous!!! He was passionate, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable of the menu ( it helped he was Italian).
For appetizers we ordered the bruschetta and eggplant. The eggplant was so delicious it literally melted in your mouth. Full of flavor and absolutely one of the most flavorful and delicious eggplant dishes ever! The bruschetta, was fresh and very average...not my fave.
For dinner our table placed a order of STROZZAPRETI NORCINA it has mushrooms , sausage, cognac cream sauce. My sister had this dish and usually never finishes anything...not this... she finished it all!!!
Our friend ordered the SPAGHETTI CARBONARA and again absolutely fantastic!!!! Last but not least the pizza, we ordered the MICHELANGELO, which comes with tomato sauce, mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, shaved parmigiano, evoo. We replaced the prosciutto with red bell peppers and it was delicious! The crust on the pizza was fluffy and had a slightly light texture and sweetness from the natural dough making process. I think next time I would ask for it a tad crispier, since the ingredients made the center a bit soggy. Yet it was so delicious you couldn't stop eating!!!
Desserts!!!! Oh boy.... we got the sampler that had a
CANNOLI SICILIANI
PANNA COTTA, TIRAMISU, and TORTA NUTELLA. So much deliciousness!!!! In addition we ordered the CREME BRULEE and a full order of TIRAMISU! The portion size is so large you could share between two or...not.
Everything we had was so delicious and the service exceptional!!!! I highly recommend and will be returning on every visit to Phoenix!!! Buon appetito
