I had dinner with a large group on Tuesday night and was so highly impressed! I just returned from my honeymoon in Italy a couple of months ago and was impressed by the quality and authenticity of the food here. The homemade pasta's, gnocci, and sauces were well executed. The texture of the pasta was as good as any handmade pasta I enjoyed in Italia. The tomato and Buffalo mozzerella salad was absolutely spectacular. I don't know where there tomato's come from but they were bursting with juicy flavor, as fresh and ripe as any tomato this native Phoenician has ever enjoyed in the Valley. The Mozzerella was of the highest quality and the olive oil and fresh herbs were fabulous.
The entire service staff was awesome and we never had to ask for refills etc...
There have been a few knocks on the portion sizes, and everyone is entitled to their own feelings on this topic. For me, I prefer quality over quantity any day and I found the portions to be just right.
Give this new joint a chance! You will not be disappointed!
