| - I am not sure why there are some really negative reviews of this place...Sure, its not a super fancy 5 star place, sure its a bit more expensive than Applebees, but the quality is unmatched in South Phoenix.
Great wine options, many of which are reasonably priced between 6.5-8 bucks for a generous pour. I don't think they have a draft beer system though, which is unfortunate.I would also add that there is almost too much on the menu with the normal menu AND a lengthily list of specials.
When we first sat down, the waitress brought us "a taste from the kitchen" of focaccia (great taste, nice customer service!). Ordered the antipasto platter for a table of 4 (again, great service, we were about to order the large platter when the waitress recommended the medium platter for a party out size.) Nice selection of olives, pickles, cheese, and the best artichoke hearts I ever had. I liked the green chimichurri. My only complaint is the plate would be better suited with crusty bread instead of dinner rolls.
Ordered 2 pizzas to share for the table. Both were very good and had a great crunchy thin crust.
Skipped dessert this time, but again we got a "a taste from the kitchen" of the most AMAZING caramels with a salted cookie crumble on top. If this is any indication of how awesome the other desserts are, we totally missed out.
The bill came out to about 22 bucks a person including the appetizer, 2 pizzas, and 3 drinks and tip and tax. Looking forward to coming again to try the entrees and dessert.
