After reading a very positive newspaper review of this local chain my wife and I decided to try it. Since we live in central Mesa the trip to this location on the very eastern edge of Mesa on the border with Apache Junction is a bit of an effort. We went for lunch with another couple and sat outside. The menu is extensive but consists primarily of various pasta plates and pizzas. Imagine my surprise to find that this Italian restaurant offers no lasagne, ravioli, veal or chicken parmasan, or saltambucca. Hmmmm. Our server, who indicated she was fairly new, seemed somewhat overwhelmed. As a member of the younger generation every time we thanked her for something we got the standard under 25 response:"No problem." Really? I don't normally think of asking for a to-go box as a problem. Anyway, After she took our order we did not see her again until she came to bring the check; our lunches were delivered by a man who I believe was the manager. One plate of pasta went back immediately because it was barely warm. My wife's pizza was good, my manicotti was OK, the other two penne pasta lunch specials were just OK, too. With tip, lunch for two came to a little over $30; seems a bit high for what we got. I doubt if we would make the long drive to this restaurant a second time. It would be difficult to recommend this place.
