  • We were coming up to Scottsdale for the weekend so when I saw Living Social had a coupon for an Italian restraunt I jumped on it. Italian is my favorite food. From the moment we opened the door the smell was sour and I knew it was going to get worse. The waiter wasn't very welcoming when i showed the coupon. When I told him we don't drink alcohol, that's where they make $, he was irritated when we ordered cokes. Let the fun begin....... The bread was stale. There was no mistaking it for anything but. The young man at the "bar" took notice when I pushed it away but before doing that I broke up the pieces so they couldn't reuse it. They came over and asked how everything was and we both said the bread was stale. A woman came to our table was tried to convince us it was a mistake and bread was in the oven. She told us they make it everyday. I doubt it's homemade. Ok on to appetizers. We ordered the mushrooms stuffed with sausage and ricotta cheese and the arugala salad with pecans and pears tossed in a lemon vinaigrette. The arugala was old, I hate that, and the pears were tiny hard pieces. The dressing was nothing like a vinaigrette, not sure what it was other than dry. It wasn't awful though. The mushrooms were very tough and the sausage was a hard ball that had no evidence of ricotta cheese. I'm guessing they were made in batches and then frozen. On to entrĂ©es, I ordered the veal picatta and my husband ordered the penne butanesca. The veal was two pieces of veal on a plate with capers and sauce. The presentation was unappealing and the accompanying penne pasta had a sour smell. The veal was very salty and the penne was inedible. It was way over cooked. I had to spit it out. They saw I wasn't eating my dinner and came to ask if everything tasted good. I lied but they knew I didn't like it. Enough about my experience. In their defense my husband liked everything, his expectations aren't as high as mine. In closing they shouldn't offer Groupon or Living Social if they treat new customers in such a manner that they won't return. Also one would think being an Italian Restraunt they would know how to cook pasta al dente. Overall it was a very unpleasant experience being my birthday dinner. They need to update the look of the restaurant, nothing romantic as I've read in other reviews. Update their attitude and not yell at customers or tell them about their financial woos. I feel empathy for the family but they but they brought all on themselves. I will never return to this restraunt.
