"I only come to Arizona once a year for work, but Zappone's is always on my \"must\" list. The staff really know their wine list and make excellent recommendations. They also give off a very friendly and warm vibe. The service has always been on point.\n\nThe food is exceptional. The pasta is always cooked perfectly, and the sauces are the right combination of flavor, richness, texture, and in the right quantity. I had a mushroom fettuccine dish at the server's recommendation, and it was an excellent call. I also tried the tiramisu at the chef's recommendation (who came out to the table to greet our small group), which had a lovely decadent flavor and texture. It was a well-balanced finisher for the meal.\n\nThe only downside is that this place is a state away from me! I'm definitely looking forward to returning next year."^^ . "1"^^ . . "0"^^ . "5"^^ .
