I have to applaud Caffe Daniel for serving consistently amazing food. I used to lament the fact that Phoenix and the surrounding areas lacked a really good Italian restaurant, but this place changed that for me! The menu has items that appeal to a variety of palates with traditional to a bit more exotic choices. The wine list is very good and at price points that make enjoying a bottle of wine with dinner more commonplace rather than just for a special occasion. The atmosphere is casual and the staff is helpful and friendly. Of course it is always nice to be personally met at the door by Daniel and share a little chit chat. I highly recommend this restaurant for tasty, upscale food in an approachable and down to earth atmosphere.
