  • On a family vacation in Scottsdale, AZ, we stumbled across this quaint little Italian restaurant that was tucked away by the airport about a block off Scottsdale Road. The reviews were good, we were hungry and with a family full of ex-New Yorkers living in Southern California, we're always up for some good New York atmosphere. As we pulled up and walked in, someone held the door open for us... turned out to be one of the owners (I believe)... I was immediately greeted (as the last one of the bunch walking in.. and hobbling on a banged up knee from a day of tubing through rapids).. with sarcasm on how I should "take my time, they'll be open another 5 hours".. Ahh... New York sarcasm. I was already feeling "at home". We sat down fairly quickly. The restaurant had a good amount of people in it, but still had room for us with barely a wait. We never said anything about being "from New York" but were treated quite well from the wait staff (and owners/managers) who kept checking in to be sure everything was going well. THE FOOD: The menu was typical Italian. Amongst the 7 of us we had Linguini in White Clam sauce, Eggplant Parmagiana, Shrimp Parmagiana, Gnocchi, a small pizza, Cavatelli w/ sausage & broccoli and Calamari Fra Diavolo (ordered by my 8 year old son). The one thing I wanted to get but passed on was the Braciole (in mama's gravy). That was a special, but I opted for the Linguini instead. EVERYTHING was really good. We didn't stay for desert since we were all tired from the long day of tubing, so I can't comment on the deserts... but we were all quite happy with our meal. Additional Service note: We found out towards the end of our meal that our waitress was from Massapequa, NY (a town on Long Island that my wife & I lived in w/ the kids before moving to Cali). The other owner came over.. he was from the Bronx. We all joked around a bit and they were certainly a friendly bunch. I observed how friendly the staff was with other guests too and they certainly appeared to make everyone feel welcome. Always a plus. Good food + Good, friendly service from people who appear to honestly care is alway a winner in my book. There's a Maggiano's down the road and a couple of "NYPD"'s, but I HIGHLY recommend this place for it's authenticity.
