Being from new jersey (and having the possessive attitude over Italian food that comes with my drivers license from thy part of the country), I was worried about eating Italian in Phoenix. The antipasta was actually really good. The mozzarella and prosciutto were fresh and tasty. But only 1 1/2 of the 6 people I went out with enjoyed their entree, mostly pasta dishes that were too bland and sauceless. The desserts were tasty. The service was polite but slow. I'm usually pretty forgiving but this place was not great.
