| - I heart this place so much, I want to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant. I would give it five stars, but I'm saving a five star rating for a restaurant that lifts me off my feet. Call me a prude. Call me a romantic. I don't care.
Let's start, and almost finish, with the food--it's terrific. I've never had a bad, or mediocre, meal at this place. I especially enjoy the gnocchi. Sure, part of the reason I like the gnocchi is because I enjoy saying, "gnocchi." It's just fun to say. It's good, clean fun for the whole family. But, aside from the tantalizing vocalization of the dish, it's really tasty. The other dishes are great as well, but I won't bore you with a detailed description of each item. I'm verbose, but not selfish. Well...maybe 'not selfish' should be replaced with 'lazy' but I think you understand.
The ambiance is decent even though it's in a strip mall. However, we live in Phoenix, so you can't really knock a place for that. They do have some nice outdoor seating.
The owner and staff are really friendly and will talk your ear off about Italy winning the world cup--even though it happened a year and a half ago.
In summation, this place is aces...but don't tell anyone, because, as other people have written, this is a hidden gem.
