"More like a 4.5, but since the food is definitely one of the best in the Phoenix area for Italian food, I'm bumping it up to a 5*. So happy it's in this part of town so I don't have to travel to Scottsdale or Arcadia for good Italian food.\n\nPros\n1. Awesome and authentic Italian food\n2. Very good wine for only $17 a bottle - I know, I was skeptical too...\n3. Location - easy parking, don't have to valet (like in Scottsdale at many restaurants)\n\nCons\n1. Loud - The acoustics are not good for having an easy to hear conversation\n2. They should offer a few items from the Pomo pizza side of the restaurant. I understand not being able to sit in the fancier restaurant and only order pizza, but a suggestion would be to at least offer a couple of simple pizzas (i.e. margherita) as an app in the restaurant\n3. Portion size - not horribly small, but a tad skimpy on the pasta portion for all of us who got too used to supersize-me portions at most American restaurants.\n\nOverall, it's amazing and can't wait to return. So happy to have great Italian food nearby, let alone in the Phoenix area!"^^ . "5"^^ . "2015-05-30T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ . "0"^^ . . . . "1"^^ .
