Hidden Gem of a restaurant!!!
I came to dinner not expecting much because the restaurant is located within the lobby of the Day's Inn. I was hungry and just wanted someplace to eat.
When I call this place a "hidden gem", I am referring to not being able to find this place unless I was looking for it! This traditional Italian restaurant has the best pizza I have ever eaten. and has been voted "The Best of Phoenix" seven times. The richness and texture of the crust make this pizza "to die for".
Pleased with my dinner, I came back for a fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp dinner in an attempt to truly gauge the authenticity of the Italian food. The Alfredo sauce was rich, thick, and full of flavor. The possibility of adding vegetables [I am a vegetarian] made the choices plentiful. One can choose from shrimp, vegetable, and chicken as toppings.
The flat screens allowed me to enjoy the baseball game while enjoying $2 beer. The "bar" area allows for friendly, quiet conversation or just a getaway from "trendy" and "crowded" bars. The friendliness and prompt service provided a world class style of service. I felt pampered and catered and not hurried to decide on what to have for dinner.
If you live in Phoenix, or happen to be in Phoenix, go eat at Raimondo's!!!!
