Ok fellow foodies...
Only open 3 weeks this place is a welcome outdoor venue in downtown Phoenix. The atmosphere is alive on the patio. There is several conventions in town. Nice to see every place busy. The fountains and the lit trees almond with perfect 75 degree weather set the stage. Manny our server was great. He knew every item on the menu and how it was prepared. This is not a must stop destination, but the food was nicely prepared. I tried the Gambetti (shrimp) from the lunch menu (4 stars). The bruschetta was very tasty (3.5). From the dinner menu we had fettuccine and chicken, just what wanted. Also the grilled lamb chops tilted the scale at 4.5 stars. I'll be back when we see an early movie. Once the pizza oven works I look forward to trying a slice! Overall they delivered a nice experience.
I guess the best was the deserts...
We had three, our Server Manny picked for us. The surprise was bread pudding, chocolate tort and tiramisu.
Juan the owner stopped by to check on us and it turns out he owns another favorite in north Scottsdale, The Hacienda.
