I came here because my Ingress friends. One of them was too busy catching a super rare Pokemon. The other one suggested that I try Basil and Garlic. Basil and Garlic is a small restaurant located in a strip shopping center in Scottsdale. The were not too busy when we arrived and were seated immediately.
We ordered their vongole with a white sauce and a bolognese with a penne pasta. Complimentary bread was given to us. The vongole was the best dish of the night. The flavor was good and had a decent amount of clams in it. The daughter and I have had better bolognese. We both thought that their bolognese was a too acidic (sour). I finished it, while my daughter finished all their bread. We didn't really want to ask for more bread since our dinner was already finished. Luckily we had vitasoy and red bean dessert in the car.
Service was good. They kept us filled with bread and kept our cups filled with water. It was an okay visit. There is better food, according to the other Yelp reviews...if we had only took the time to read them. But, with one visit, 3 star is what I can give them.
