The food and service were good5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMA favourite place to eatWe always eat at least once at NOCA when we are in Phoenix. We tried the Arizona Restaurant Week Menu on this visit, not only was it great food it was excellent value for money. The choices were quite eclectic but NOCA's use of locally sourced ingredients ensures the highest quality dishes. The wait staff are fantastic working as a team to ensure a great dining experience.5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMNoca No DoubtWe have dined here before and they do what is known as Sunday dinner. However this was restaurant week in Phoenix. There was a special menu. The staff was very accommodating and the food and service was excellent especially for a leisurely Sunday evening meal. There is no doubt that we would definitely return and recommend Noca.5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMA RESTAURANT WEEK GEMThe tomato pepper soup was delightfully cream with a little kick to it

Our recent dinner here was fantastic. The seafood was very fresh and extremely well prepared. The mussels in the cioppino were the plumpest I've ever seen and the shrimp from the plancha were outstanding. Chef Claudio's pizza is such a treat.

We also had a lemon rosemary flat bread and more perfect pasta with lamb ragu and then a seafood dinner in a spicy tomato broth with the very best mussels ever! And next a long parade of desserts!
