| - My boyfriend and I wanted to see downtown Tempe and have pizza for dinner. We selected this restaurant after reading some of the reviews. We didn't think much of the restaurant at first. It's in a grocery strip mall. However there's patio dining which would have been nice, however it was too hot. After opening the door, we felt welcome into the dining area, as there was no formal host. The waiter shared the specials and quickly returned with our beverages and bread. Although we searching for pizza, the other Italian dishes stood out to us.
We started with the brushetta and cesar salad. Definitely recommend both. The brushetta toast was lightly toasted and soft. The brushetta had flavors of fresh basil, tomatoes, garlic, and perhaps oregano. It was delicious!! The cesar salad was excellent as well. The cesar dressing was light but had all of the right flavors.
I had the clams with linguine and Warren had the chicken parmesan. The linguine had a lot of clams, no shells, which I liked. The sauce tasted like olive oil, wine, and garlic. The chicken was thick and very tasty. The sauce was a thick blend of tomatoes and garlic.
Should we ever visit Phoenix again, we will be sure to go visit this restaurant again.
