   Beautiful new restaurant that elevates the culinary scene in Scottsdale. Had a relatively quiet table near the kitchen where we could observe the restaurants organization. Excellent waiter named Taylor who took the time to explain the menu and help us with ordering. We had some dietary concerns which he took to heart. Shea the manager checked in with us and was lovely in her concerns. Our busman kept our water glasses filled and extra plates and silverware expertly appeared. Loved the eggplant and perfectly prepared bread. Great Caesar salad. Pork was divine. Gear texture great flavor. Loved the Pavlova. Look forward to returning!

   Beautiful venue. Hard to find in shopping mall. VERY LOUD and we sat against a wall!! Lots of employees although some were security personnel standing around. Why. Menu either had $20-$30 items or $80 items. 2 of us split mushrooms, asparagus, crispy potatoes, meat balls, shrimp appetizers. Enjoyed that. 2 men each had a pizza and Caesar salad. Not that thrilled with entrees

   Most adorable server we've had at a restaurant in a long time. He was very attentive and had a wonderful smile. He made good recommendations when asked. Decor is neutral tones. Love that the tables aren't on-top of each other. Lends to having table-only conversations. Food, while unique offerings, was very rich. We ordered the broccolini to thin/healthy the meal out, but it was so covered in toppings that it was hard to identify. That was the only item we didn't end up eating. The calamari were so light and crispy. Not at all chewy. They were perfectly cooked. Our server stated that the idea was to eat family style so everyone gets a taste, but it's certainly not a must. That said, everyone was interested to taste each item...including the final course, a pistachio sundae. Not cheap, but nothing in Scottsdale is.

   Got the Calamari, was cooked perfectly. Had the eggplant appetizer that was so delicious and unique! Had the pistachio pasta, sausage pasta and squid ink shrimp pasta! All so delicious! Nice to have a new restaurant with amazing food! So happy they opened. Will be back. Hopefully California will bring some more much needed restaurants to Arizona. Waitress and all of the staff were so kind and helpful! A++

   Ambiance and atmosphere was great for social gatherings. Food was mediocre at best, although the ragú blanco was very good. Overall, the experience was enjoyable for a quick day date.
