The decor is fresh and modern but the booth I sat at was not very comfortable. It was very close to the table and the fabric was like velcro and was hard to slide in. This restaurant used to be named Bravi Tuscan Kitchen. \n\nI used to go here often years ago when it was Bravi when there were few other choices in town. We liked the decor, the location and the low prices but we stopped going because the food was always on the bland side. \n\nWe decided to go back and try lunch.\n\nI had the $6.99 1/2 vegetable panini lunch special with salad. My panini was made with very fresh soft bread and had a minuscular amount of fresh vegetables that were oddly flavorless with a small amount of red sauce that also seemed unflavored. I added salt and pepper to the sandwich and it was better. My salad seemed fresh. It was like I just had a plain salad with a chunk of bread on the side. I don't think this is bad food it's just bland food.\n\nMy husband thought for $2 more he should have the whole panini and salad. His sandwich had more flavor from the sausage but he also thought the red sauce was unseasoned too.\n\nNot bad food just bland food.\n\n Some people do prefer bland food...(not me though)\n\nA current grade \"A\" Maricopa Sign is posted"^^ .
