Best plates: zukka chips, pizzas, chefs board, arthichoke heart with yummy sauce. They have daily specials for pizza which is always a homerun. Crust is yummy and food served hot.
Best drinks: dirty martini, good upscale beer selection.
Pros: many different areas with many different experiences. They have not just one but two patios with fire, a bar with ample seating, indoor seating has plenty and they designed it well there is a tolerable volume but it's not too loud.
Overall I love this place due to it's proximity to the mall and the views by the restaurant. Million dollar views in the best part of town.
Met some work contacts on a Thursday night, and enjoyed a sampling of the calimari (A+), a meat and cheese plate (A-) and some of their bread and butter. Wine selection is robust; we settled on a Malbec for the table. Service was friendly, enthusiastic, and attentive but not overly so - we lingered while enjoying a spirited political discussion and didn't feel the least bit rushed. If I lived closer I would be here more frequently.
Presentation and taste of the food was wonderful. Our waiter was friendly and helpful and allowed us to enjoy our appetizers and wine before we ordered. The atmosphere is relaxed, a bit noisy but very much worth it. The outside tables are quieter and have heaters which makes them very comfortable. We will go back again and again.
Very comfortable and open, nice seating inside as well as outside with a nice inviting bar that is always full of good conversation. The food was very good and came to the table hot. The staff is attentive and friendly they are as sweet as the deserts. Nice find
The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the place looks great. The food was good, but not as authentic as they say. I would say this a good italo-american restaurant.
The service was awesome and the food came in a timely manner. Oh and I forgot to mention, it was absolutely delicious. I am not sure how authentic the food is in regards to actual Italian food, but it was masterfully prepared. I wholeheartedly recommend this place over other so-called "Italian" restaurants.
Absolutely fantastic! Food is made from scratch! Service is awesome! And the all day Sunday happy hour with half price bottles is not shabby either.
Great food, service, and atmosphere. Kitchen has a hard time coordinating orders coming to the table in a timely manner and at the same time. Made for some still waiting while others were completely done. Not something that would keep us away as it has happened every time we have been there. Maybe a technique to sell more drinks???
Food, service and people are top notch. If you get Chase as your server, your are set. He will take care of you, give you knowledge and conversation that will be a great addition to your experience. Thank you Chase!
We were in town on spring break and someone recommended this place. The food was amazing, but we did have to wait even though we had reservations. We did feel a little under dressed as most the other patrons were dressed up. Waitress was super accommodating as my kids can be difficult and she had several tables but she always checked on us as she walked by. The fresh bread and hand made in house noodles were delicious and we will definitely be back next time were in town.
The homemade pasta was very good. The service was excellent. The kids' cheese pizza was a disappointment as it had a lot of edge and was cooked in such a way that the crust was bland and tasted burned.
The bolognaise was disappointing. First of all, it came in a large bowl that was 3/4s empty. Secondly, it was too greasy ( low quality meats? I use lean pork loin and veal in mine ) and creamy (insufficient milk reduction? Wine reduction skipped over? ). My husband felt sick afterwards. I was okay, but I'd washed it down with the house red wine, which was quite vinegary. Over all, it was quite a let down for the price. Will not return. :-(
Had a great experience here tonight. Food is amazing and the pizza is the best I have had in Tucson hands down. Meal portions are perfect. Our server Daniela was great and really sweet. Will be returning.
