The most authentic Italian food in the valley. Everything is homemade. The owner imports most of the ingredients from Italy. I’ve never been to Italy but I’m sure this is the closest you’ll get to Italy in Arizona. Everything was so delicious. Highly recommend the gnocchi with 4 cheese sauce and butternut squash ravioli. *Homer drool
Our main stop and place we bring family/friends from out of town to. Fabio never disappoints with their food, how quick the food comes out, how fresh and homemade everything tastes etc.I almost don’t want to write a review because I want it to stay our secret, it does get quite busy on weekends so try to make a reservation. We’re always last minute but willing to wait for a table because of how good it is here.Sometimes the service is better than others, I think they need to hire more people though. We went on a night when 1 server was taking care of the whole restaurant essentially. Our waiters and hostesses have always been very personable and friendly so I really have to shout them out! 10/10Recommend: tagliatelle bolognese
A really amazing, authentic Italian restaurant. I just wish they had one closer to Buckeye.

Previously rated 4 to 5 stars. Fourth visit since they opened . In the last year, it seems that the staffing and standards have suffered greatly... very understaffed and unprofessional. Inattentive wait staff. Soggy pizza crust, very slow service, just basic service standards were completely missing. Almost an hour until someone took our order. Waiter was completely absent. Never checked in after the food was brought, showed up at the very end to collect the check. No water refills. Asked if a manager was there and was told no. Very sad because it used to be quite a good place. We might give it another chance but then again maybe not. ?

Our whole party was very underwhelmed with the food, pricing, and service. The server forgot to bring us an iced tea that we reminded her of 2 different times. The food was average and the bottom of our pizza was completely burnt and black. Both my wife and I ordered a "special" and was sticker shocked by the $44.99 price for what we got. The server failed to mention the price of the specials when she presented them nor after we ordered them. The manager walked by us over 20 times and never once asked how our food and service was. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. We were severely disappointed.

This place was delicious!! As someone who lived in Italy, this is the most authentic food I’ve had in the States. Courtney was our waitress and was AMAZINGGGGG!!! She was so helpful with helping me to choose my order. She made recommendations based on what I told her I liked. The atmosphere in the restaurant was the cutest. You have to check this place out.
Perfect. Great service, excellent food and atmosphere. We are so happy to have this quality restaurant in the West Valley.

A friend had recommended this place as a recommendation from another friend. We did a Saturday night 6pm dinner. We didn't have reservations yet were seated in about 10 minutes. The sourdough bread is amazing. We all tried something different and it was all great. I did the lobster and crab ravioli. It was really good. The Caprese was good as well. The waitress was adorable and super attentive. Very knowledgeable of the menu although she said she had only been there for 2 months. Great experience.
Atmosphere was cramped. People were sitting so close to each other that there was barely room for staff to walk between chairs. My date ordered the squash dish pictured and it was only 5 very small pieces. I ordered lasagna and was very disappointed. The layer of noodles were mushy with a thin layer of cheese between them and watery meat sauce on top. The bread, dipping oil, and wine were good. Perhaps the pizzas are better. Having worked with the National Restaurant Association I don’t feel this establishment will stay in business long. The food definitely needs improvement and I don’t think it is proper for staff to wear ripped, dirty or baggy blue jeans.

Had the pepperoni pizza, was pretty good, typical wood fired pizza. However, wife had the gnocchi bolognese, which she loved. Another person in our party had the bolognese lasagna which she loved. They both want to go back in the near future due the the bolognese sauce. Both the forth person and I had pizzas, and they were good, but nothing special, sauce was OK, been to Italy, and pizza there is nothing really to write home about, the ingredients were fresh.Price was on target, looking around $18 per plate. Everything was authentic, have to get a reservation. The place was booked from 5pm till 8pm on a Friday night. We had the gelato (lemon-chello and chocolate) home made and very good. They have a full bar. Drinks around $10, decent amount of alcohol, not watered down which I appreciate. Good meal, wife wants to go back. Next time I will try one of their authentic dishes instead of the standard pizza you can get anywhere.
