A very good Italian restaurant near where we stayed during a conference in Phoenix. I would say very old style Italian as it was very dimly lit and had that ambiance about it that definitely is not modern or fast food bright and slick. The food was very nicely done and the service was impeccable.
We tried the Oysters Michelina, supposedly inspired by a dream of the chef. They were outstanding, one of the best baked oyster dishes we have tried and it's hard to beat what you find in New Orleans. I had my reservations since Phoenix is a long way from the ocean. The chef should keep on dreaming.
We stuck with the classic Italian dishes. My lasagna was very good and my son tried the veal parmigiana. Wonderful house bread and butter and a glass of house Chianti rounded out a perfect Italian meal.
