I was recommended here by a friend and was unimpressed considering the price and location. The food was tasty, but not the best Italian I've eaten. The service was a disappointment, the staff seemed frazzled and overwhelmed, even though it wasn't super busy as they were able to seat a party of 8 with no reservation right away.
The prices were on the high side, but it's Scottsdale so what can you expect. The location was great and the parking was easy. If it were busier, which right now Scottsdale is pretty low in visitation this year then in most, I can see parking being a problem, but fortunately it wasn't.
The ambiance was not comfortable at all. Really noisy, and I can't remember if they played music or not, as you can barely hear the waiter. The staff wasn't as knowledgable or provided any wine recommendations either. You would expect that from a fine dining establishment.
Definitely not dining here again, but it was worth a try.
