    Wonderful authentic Italian food. Not only do they have an amazing array of Neapolitan style Pizzas (and Pinsas), they also have delicious homemade pasta and other Italian dishes. Friendly staff and good service.

    Our third time here. Fast service, expansive menu options in the Italian food arena AND I appreciated they had a quality N/A beer choice (Peroni 0/0). We started with the cheesy breadsticks that came with a tiny side of marina. I asked for another tiny container of marinara and it was delivered promptly. There were four of us and ironically we ordered the same pizza/flatbread. I think it was Viola. Chicken, sun dried tomatoes, avocados ,and an odd mustard-like yellow sauce that was beautifully squirted on the pizza. We ended up with one large size and on medium. They looked pretty close in size to me. I thought they were supposed to be thin crust - but if they were thin, the regular crust must be pretty THICK! Overall, a solid experience. We’d return - probably choose a different flatbread/pizza option!

    We had the “pizza” as appetizer. The crust was crispy and soft in the inside. The sausage was not salty but tasty. The Veal Piccata was the best we ever had- tender and flavorful with right spices. The pasta dishes (hand-made) had the right combination of flavors, better than we had in Italy. No leftovers— portions were just right!

    The variety of the menu was excellent, many mouth watering dishes to choose from. I had the pork braciole with fettucine and it was excellent. My wife had the chicken parm and again, excellent. the service was very good, our waitress Megan was attentive and helpful. Try their Pinza pizza, really very good. Overall excellent experience.

    Went for an early dinner and sat out on the patio overlooking the golf course. Everything was perfect. The weather, the view, cocktails were great, avg. price. Luca was our waiter, did a great job. Now it does seem almost everyone there has an Italian accent so not sure if they are really Italian or just taught the accent, but it adds to the ambience. Everything is freshly made and absolutely delicious. We had their cheesy garlic bread, yum a pizza crust with cheese and seasoning, crust was perfect. The Lobster Raviolis were so delicious, you could taste the freshness and the lobster. My husband had the Tortalini Saracini and couldn’t stop raving about it. It seems that no matter where you go dining prices have risen, but here it hasn’t risen to the point that makes it so you don’t want to even go out. The service, the ambience (outside), the food is definitely top notch. Looking forward to our next visit. Reservations during winter months recommended.

    Everything on the menu from drink options to appetizers and entrees is well thought-out and cohesive. Our server Serena gave incredible recommendations, and she was spot-on. The portions are generous, the food is amazing, and the addition of live music was a positive surprise. We can't wait to come back!

    Lighting is horrible, the lights actually hurt our eyes. Needs to be toned down substantially. This is the 5th time I’ve eaten here and will be the last. The first time they messed up our order and brought me something different than what I ordered and argued with me about it. The next time I was there it took 30 minutes to get water and another 15 minutes to get cocktails. I never complain, been living in Mesa for 34 years! I love supporting local small businesses. I’ve never even left a bad review but this has happened to many times! Food is just so so!
