    Was looking for a good date night spot to take my wife. Honestly restaurant feels like an afterthought as you actually have to walk through another restaurant to get there. Outside seating was ok but nothing special. Service was good but again nothing special. Food was ok for the most part. Bread was great! I had the sea bass (chef special) and it was not great. Desert was outstanding however so they do have that going for them!

    I thought the amount of food was not enough for the cost. A normal person probably wouldn’t get full if they just got their main course. Additionally, the chairs are very uncomfortable and awkward. The two waitresses were very nice, but you could tell they were trying very hard. It was an average restaurant, I guess I thought it would be a bit more special.

    Had to send one thing back. Should have sent everything back except the alcohol and the caprese salad. The server comped us a few things which helped, but the dishes weee not tasty. Fish in tomato stew was hard and fishy tasting, squid ink pasta was diluted. Salad was smelly and seemed like milk was poured on it instead of dressing.

    The food was terrible. The server was nice but she came to ask how our food was before we even had a chance to taste it and then didn’t come back until she asked if we wanted dessert.

    The children's options were disappointing. During spring break season, there will be children. Serving Kraft mac & cheese from the printed menu or offering stuck together noodles (butter and olive oil work!) on the kids buffett was disappointing.

    The restaurant appeared to have staff shortages which, of course, is not uncommon today. They did their best moving people around but it created an inconsistent experience. Our primary server did a great job but seemed stretched. Food - Caesar Salad was dry; only a hint of dressing. Tagliatelle Bolognese was good but would have been better if someone had offered a dusting of grated cheese. Our Ribeye was served full medium vs medium-rare (ordered). Not so far off to send back but not what was ordered. It was tender and flavorful though. Restaurant Manager came over as a follow-up and was extremely professional! Offered a comp dessert which was a nice gesture. We selected Crème Brûlée; unfortunately, it was was not “set up”. Good flavor but not a typical presentation. I know this sounds very negative but I mean it to be constructive. Everyone was trying hard; it’s just that Phoenix now has far too many great, consistent options for a higher end Italian meal. We might give them another try but we are not rushing to do so.

    We selected an outdoor seating. The weather was perfect. It was a little disconcerting however to hear the yelling of kids in the nearby pool. It did stop by 7pm. The menu is somewhat limited however there is something for everyone. We had shrimp scampi with linguini and fillet of sole on a bed of risotto. Both meals were excellent . The service was outstanding as well.

    Restaurant was hard to find. You basically have to walk through a different restaurant to get to this one and there was no signage that we could find. View was beautiful, but restaurant was nothing special to look at. Server was great, very attentive and helpful with describing dishes. Water glasses were always full and service was at a good pace. Food was edible but not great. Pasta bolognese was flavorless. Steak wasn’t cooked correctly and was subpar also. Seemed like an expensive dinner for not great food.
