  • Thanks to Yelpers, we found this great little gem in our neck of the woods. We're always on the hunt for locally-owned restaurants and good Italian, and we found both in Alessia's. The fact that it was in Mesa and not central Phoenix was a plus! We opted to sit on the patio, since the weather was perfect. There were a couple of other patrons outside with us, but it wasn't distracting in the slightest. The staff was friendly and attentive, but not overly so. The owner came out at one point, checked on all the tables, joked with some of the regulars, but was very good at giving the couples on a romantic-type date (like us) space. We had different servers taking care of us, so it didn't feel like if we asked one for something it would start a war in the back. It was very much a team atmosphere. The food was excellent. Warm, perfectly crusty bread with olive oil and balsamic for dipping was a great way to start off the evening. We started with the Pepata di Cozze (mussels). The mussels were tender and flavourful, the garlic and white wine sauce was great; not too rich. We're big on sharing food, so we got two entrees to split: I got the Che Calamari Linguini and my partner got the Pescatora Nord Risotto. Both were just about perfect. My linguini was fairly light and full of flavour. The calamari rings were tender and not at all rubbery. The sauce had a little bit of a kick, which was nice. The risotto was bright and sunny, literally. Saffron yellow, with capers, clams, mussels and calamari. It was amazing! I think I may have enjoyed the risotto more than my pasta, but honestly I'm not too sure. Both were some of the best Italian food I've had in a long time. Fresh, homemade. Dessert was pretty fantastic too. We wanted something decadent and chocolatey, neither of us being much of a fan of tiramisu (sacrilege, I know!). We opted for the chocolate truffle and we weren't disappointed. Zabaione cream, surrounded by chocolate, dusted with cocoa powder and whipped cream. Rich, but oh so good! On the list of to-tries for next time: the gnocchi, the pescatora sud risotto and the chocolate lava cake. And there will definitely be a next time!
