  • Lovely. I sought this out during a business trip as I was in an Italian mood. So good I went back 2 nights later. On the first night, I had the arrancini (delicious risotto balls with meat, in a tomato-based sauce.) The arrancini were crisp and flavorful. Only issue was that the very center were still chilly. Didn't stop me from scarfing every delicious bite down. The pasta special that evening was mafaldine with thinly sliced Italian sausage in a tomato-based sauce finished with a touch of cream. This was heavenly. I had never had mafaldine before...think the rippled edge of a lasagne noodle, but in single long thin strands like fettucine. The pasta was perfectly chewy, and a great shape for clinging to the thick sauce. Owners are the chef and his wife who took care of me both visits. She asked if I wanted a little heat in the dish, so they added the perfect amount of fire...maybe red pepper flakes? Not sure. The pasta and sausage were copious. The accompanying free salad was basic. I was too full for dessert. On the 2nd visit I skipped an appetizer and ordered the meat tortellini. I love tortellini with peas and they were accomodating to add them for me. The meal was lovely, and again, bountiful. Only complaint here was the pasta was a wee overcooked. I wish the tortellina had the perfect chew of the malfadine on my first visit. Their cheesecake has been rated one of the best in the Phoenix valley. This is not a typical NY style cream cheese cake. Rather it's ricotta-based, with subtle citrus flavors. These are scratch made in house along with several other dessert options. It was different, and fantastic. Light, but with rich texture like you want in a cheesecake. I like that they specify on their dessert menu which items they make in the restaurant, vs. those which are outsourced. Wines were a small but well-edited selection of reasonable options, all Italian. All available by the glass. Who serves Barbera by the glass?? that was so nice. Ambiance is that of a simple family owned spot in a strip mall. Spotlessly clean and modest. Not formal by any means. I'd give it 4.5 stars if half stars were an option.
