| - Since we're staying for a week in Arizona, it was our time to experiment. Tonight we decided on Italian, and I went searching for local Italian restaurants and landed upon Uncle Sal's. The other site had good reviews and came onto Yelp to check for fellow yelpers reviews as well. We also liked that we could check out the menu for what they offered.
There was no wait at all, we were seated immediately. The host asked us if we wanted to sit inside or outside. We asked for the patio seats. We came in around 8:30. The inside decor very homey old-fashioned, like your grandmother's kitchen.
They came out with complimentary delicious garlic bread slices. With all our orders came with sides of either soup or salad. The soup for the night was Butter Nut Squash and it was delicious. The salad was yummy as well with their Ranch dressing. We would've liked a little more of that savory Ranch dressing. But overall delicious.
We ordered the Shrimp Fradiovolo, Baked Ziti, and Chicken Piccatta. My Shrimp Fradiovolo had jumbo shrimps which were sweet and plump. Although the tomato sauce that accompanied it was a little too sour for my taste and wasn't spicy like it had specified. My sister got the Baked Ziti and she enjoyed it very much. My husband got the Chicken Piccatta which was a little salty but went perfectly with the side pasta marinara. We also ordered a Tiramisu togo but we haven't tried it yet.
The service was awesome! Our waiter was very attentive and checked up on us. Since we sat out in the patio, we had asked our waiter the smoking policy. He said their restaurant allowed smoking outside. Also, our soda & water cups were never ever empty. The other server who refilled water and took our plates was not as friendly but he did a good job.
Overall we were very satisfied with this restaurant. We'd recommend this to anyone who's staying in the area, or who wants to venture around. Also, it's a little hard to find, but it's in same plaza as Carl's Jr. The plaza after Circle K.
Edit: We ate the tiramisu late at night, and we loved it! It was a big piece of tiramisu. You get your money's worth, between the 3 of us we didn't even finish it. It was very fluffy, the liquor was subtle but you could taste it. And you could taste it was freshly made.
