| - After a long day of car shopping with my mom, we decided to try this place out since it was super close to my house and driving far for food was NOT an option. Along with us came my younger sister, my son and boyfriend. We ordered 4 appetizers; the Peasant Bread, Bruschetta, calamari and burrata. Let's start with the peasant bread; it was free with our Yelp check in, the texture on the outside was lightly crisp and the inside, just the right amount of doughy awesomeness! It came piping hot to the table and literally let out steam when we poked it (my 8 year old son really enjoyed that) I didn't care for the herb oil that was served along the side, it was kinda bland; as an Italian from NY, I would've like to see a red gravy along the side (maybe have it as an option?) The calamari was DELISH. I've had it at a lot of different places in Arizona and everyone seems to over cook it, making it a rubbery mess -not this calamari, lightly breaded and deep fried, served over some marinara AND its gluten-free (not that I prefer gluten free, but ya know, for those of you that do) to die for! The bruschetta was excellent; not that tiny piece of bread with a stack of soggy tomatoes that most places serve, but with a thinly shaved piece of prosciutto topped with arugula tossed in a vinaigrette with a touch of honey! Lastly, for the appetizers, the burrata. SO.FUCKING.GOOD. I could have eaten just that and left happy.
For entrees, we ordered spaghetti and meatballs, pepperoni with spicy soppressata, the Triple P and the Gusto Bolognese. I know what you are all thinking, you have 5 people at your table and all of that?? Take it easy! We are Italian and from NY, we do it big when it comes to food! I absolutely loved the Triple P, sweet and savory at the same time..who would've thought to put a fig on a pizza!? I tell ya, I was about to put a ring on it! That's how much I loved it! The two pasta dishes were good, nothing outstanding to say, but I will say one thing, I will definitely be back!!
