First - this is not a chain restaurant. Check out their website and you will learn that this is a locally owned business that has been in the valley for years. They used to be located in Chandler but moved to Tempe not too long ago. I have to say I'm pretty shocked by the negative reviews because this place is so good and the line out the door and typical 45 minute wait on weekend nights pretty much sum it up. And I don't think it's because we are "fools" who like "garbage?" Ouch.
Antipasto salad is offered before your meal - and it is yummy! They also offer you a shot of wine which is a practice I'm glad they have continued over the years. The baked Rigatony is like crack - it will melt in your mouth and is a must have. The tomato cream sauce is also to die for. Be sure to get there early or call ahead if you try this place on a weekend night, the place does get busy! My husband and I just ate their Monday night and we did not have a wait, but every table was full.
