    We love this place and come often when we travel to Scottsdale. This time we showed up at 8:07 for our 8:00 pm reservation. Our waiters came to the table about 5 minutes later and said “are you ready to order?” What our drinks, an appetizer? He did that 3 or 4 more times. He also put in one wrong entree. Do not accept 8:00 pm reservations if you expect guests to be done at 9:00. It will be a while before we return.

    Delicious food and great service! I wish they had served bread but it’s probably good they didn’t. Summer menu so looking forward to going back for their winter menu soon.

    We raved about our dinner in our car on the way home. Two of us had delicious shrimp linguini. I'm mad that my husband finished mine - wanted it for dinner tonight! Another guest loved her chicken parm. My wedge salad was good - I switched it up and had poppy seed dressing. Lots of toppings! We finished up with good tiramisu! Oh! The maple Manhattan had just the right amount of sweetness - and a marinated cherry. The service was excellent - not overbearing but there when we needed it! Can't wait to go again!

    I find it hard to find a simple good pappardelle bolognese - this place was great! My husband loved the chicken parm and my daughter had the Penne Alla Russa. All great!
