| - My wife and I were quite excited about trying this place after reading all the reviews. "Best Italian I've had in 16 years" was the one that stood out to me. After experiencing this place first hand, I can tell you, you'll have a better meal at Olive Garden or Maggiano's and it'll be more memorable.
First off, the server we had was absolutely brutal. I don't know if she was just having a bad day or what, but she was the most depressing person I've ever had serve me in my entire life. Usually when I see someone like this, I try to be extra nice and go above and beyond to be friendly, this lady wasn't having any of it. Completely disinterested in my wife and I having a great experience and gave off a "woe is me" attitude.
Second, my wife ordered a decently expensive glass of red wine. She gets her glass and there are still remnants of women's lipstick stains on the rim of the glass. Pretty gross. When my wife politely asked the server for a new glass, we might as well have killed her first-born son. She didn't seem to care or give any sort of reaction. Almost like it happens often. Concerning...
Third, with the food, I've never been more disappointed in my life. The Caesar salad tasted like the bagged salads you buy at Safeway. Ok, a salad is a salad, I was willing to look past it and was anxious for the main course. I ordered meatball lasagna and my wife ordered fettuccine alfredo. Both were so poorly prepared that we both didn't finish our meals. At Maggiano's down the street the food is SIGNIFICANTLY better and the price is significantly lower.
Overall, one of the worst experiences I've had in Scottsdale. The only good thing about the experience was the hostess. She was friendly and professional and "hoped I enjoyed my food".
Avoid this place. Save your money and go to Maggiano's right down the street for a better meal and price.
