The décor inside is very dated! Wine selection is lacking but the food is good for sure.

I love this place & truly want to give it 5 stars but it truly is a solid 4. It’s the best italian food in the area by far, but by no means is this great italian food. The service was friendly & the place is nice & cozy. We had the fradiavolo & the lasagna, both of which we enjoyed & would have again. Luckily we came on a wednesday evening which happened to be half-price wine bottle night. This is probably their best feature, every bottle on their menu is half off, no matter the listed price. And their selection is easily one of, if not the best selection of italian wines in the area. The night we were there they also had some live music going, I’m usually grumpy & stay away from bars & restaurants that have live music since it’s loud & interrupts conversations with my fellow guests, but this was nice and did well to add to the ambiance of the restaurant. Overall, I’m happy to recommend this place & look forward to returning to this neighborhood gem.

My favorite Italian restaurant in Phoenix. Awesome sauces and great paste. Classic Italian ambiance. You can dress causal or dress up. Service is outstanding and good wine selection. I like their Cheese Steak Sandwich as well. They always have light, live music at night as well.

The atmosphere is charming and the ambiance is cheerful. Service was consistent. Unfortunately the food was just okay to us. They bring garlic bread to the table that was simple. Nothing bad or remarkable. The fried cheese sticks are made with beer batter which seemed odd to us in an Italian restaurant. The Caesar salad has a house made dressing that is unique — heavier than traditional dressing with a zesty spin. It’s heavy with cheese. Good but just a bit too heavy for our preference. I had the chicken scarpata. I’m a huge lover of chicken piccata. It’s similar minus capers but with a spicy kick. It’s served with a couple florets of broccoli and a side of bow tie with marinara sauce. Again. It was good but nothing unique or special. My husband had the cheesesteak hoagie with house chips(we were told fries are like Burger Kings by the waiter, which didn’t sound good). The chips were plain, not much flavor or salt. The sandwich had really good meat and cheese on it it he didn’t prefer the Italian dressing on it. All in all, it’s a cute place with quality food, it comes down to preference. The flavors here aren’t our preference.

Strolled in last week to have a Peroni and watch Cubs lose Game 4. Pups at home decided they wanted takeout so i got baked cavatelli, seafood fradiavalo and spaghetti bolognese to go. Soup was Italian wedding all the way around and was really good and packaged well to go. All 3 dinners were very good, but the portioning was odd. The seafood fra-d was the most expensive dish and the portion was excellent. Lots of seafood/pasta and was a hit, the Spaghetti was fair portion(at best), but also was a hit due to the sauce which may be the best meat-based sauce short of Pedigree choice cuts! Though the dog digresses… However, the baked cavatelli portion was weak in relation to price but was still good, Just won’t get it to go again. Added a few milk-bones when i got home and all was good. All in All, a pretty good family owned spot that though i live in N Valley, will frequent when in the area and when the paws are worn out. Dog=Out.
