Diamond in the rough! No one would ever think that this type of restaurant existed in south phoenix. On 16th Street and baseline to be specific. I am a phoenix native and grew up on the south side and put it this way, if this spot was located anywhere it would do amazing. Not saying that they aren't doing fine now (which they probably are because they been in the same location for a number of years) I am simply saying you would expect the service and the food items to be in another location of the valley.
You really wouldn't think too much of this place driving by it, however once you go inside it feels very "homey" and warm/welcoming. They have a nice wine list to choose from, their pizzas are delicious and shrimp pasta was top 5. You can also purchase art that is hanging on their walls, not to mention that it is kid friendly. I hate to use mom and pops verbiage when describing a personally owned restaurant, but I feel as if these are the most authentic! I will always love this spot, down the street from my house but makes you feel like you're in another state when you're inside.
