My favorite Italian meal is the chicken cacciatore. I have been to several Italian restaurants here in the east valley including scottsdale and this is the only place that Ive seen that has cacciatore on the menu. Having said that it was excellent. The pasta was cooked just right. The sauce and spices used gave it that classic flavor without being salty. A lot places make up for taste by adding too much salt. The price value for the portion was excellent. For $16.00 it fed two people. The bread loaf was hot and fresh out of the oven. For desert we had one slice of chocolate cake which again was big enough to share. The atmosphere was low key. The decor was a cross of old Italian mixed in with a few flat screens tvs mouted high and can be seen from almost anywhere you sit. The service was excellent. The waitress was very familiar with the menu and was very polite and courteuos. The location is in an odd place just off of Ellsworth and Germann Rd, but lucky for us, its not far from our home. If this place was in scottsdale the price would be much higher and there would be long wait times. Needless to say I give this place a top rating for all what I mentioned above.
