This is a Tempe gem. I've debated on reviewing Miele's because it's my favorite neighborhood secret. However, Joe (and his brother) dishes out some of the best Italian food in town and definitely deserves some of the paying of the homage. It's the kind of place people go to enjoy their meal - that includes the food, the service, the conversation, the whole nine yards.
They specialize in pizza, hot/cold Italian subs and Sicilian-influenced entrees. The salads are large enough to be shared before dinner, and the Giuseppe's Chicken is pretty good. I usually order off the special menu posted on the wall ... actually I almost always get the chicken with artichokes, proscuitto and mozzarella. Sometimes I shake things up with a little of the white pizza. They serve a few Italian and California wines, but I usually choose a Moretti or Peroni. BTW, he also makes his own cannolis and if you don't get one you're soooooo missing out!
