What happen's when some guy from New Jersey moves to Phoenix on doctor's orders (for his health), gets bored and decides to open up a Little-Italy style restaurant that could easily exist in New York? You get The Appian Way.
My father and I discovered this gem when on a recent golf outing, and we were trying to discern between the tacky and otherwise bland looking restaurants offered on the main drag in Fountain Hills. Hey, at least there is a really big fountain that seems to turn on about once an hour, though we could never figure out the schedule. But I digress...
If you like fresh veal, any of the dishes here will suffice. The house wine is also very very good, i would highly recommend the Montepulciano house wine, it is better than some high-priced bottles you can find in lesser restaurants. From appetizer to main course to service to desert to overal ambiance, this is a GREAT Italian restaurant hidden in Fountain Hills.
