This place is great!! I was in Scottsdale for a week on business and went there twice! The food there is the best, not to mention their wine. The service by Sean was impeccable. He is an authentically kind person and it was a pleasure to be served by him. Thanks to him I tried halibut for the first time and loved it!
Owner was awful. He was our waiter. Wish they had good reviews so my review would stand out. This is just going to get lost in the sea of other negative reviews.... DO NOT EAT HERE. Saw a rat in the restaurant.
Horrible manager. Rude and crude
The atmosphere is like going back in time, which was a good thing. The food was very good. I gave it a 3 star due to the service. Our waiter was so blah. No personality whatsoever. I never got a refill on my iced tea and when I saw they charged $4 for an iced tea or soft drink i was not a happy camper.
The ambiance isn't fancy, but the food is good. I get the same thing every time I come here, so does my wife. It never disappoints.
One of the best food places in Scottsdale that has a very chill atmosphere and won't skimp on the food portions. Always enough for a lunch the next day. TV's covering sports games are at the front with the bar, with the tables in the back having a nice romantic mood. The owner and waiters are amazing, and have a sense of humor which is a rare find! If you've never been, I highly suggest trying either the chicken Carolina, halibut, or shrimp scampi if you can't decide. You'll want to come back and try more entrees if you do! Been coming here for many years, and it's still my favorite go-to Italian place!
They need to hire a general manager and bench the owner. Awful service.
Poor service. We asked for separate bills at the beginning of service and waiter refused. He charged us 20% gratuity for crappy service after we waited 1/2 hour for him to figure out the bills incorrectly. Food was crappy too. I do not recommend!
Worst dining experience ever. Told the waiter that the pasta was mushy. He said ok. Told the waiter he gave us the wrong bottle of wine. He said it was the same price anyway. I told him I won't make a big deal out of it, bu that was not true. I told him I will adjust the tip, he swore at me then threatened me. Unbelievably unprofessional. Awful. Stay away.
I had the sausage parm which was pretty good except the rigatoni was little cold but the sausage very tasty. I liked the sports bar environment and was able to watch some baseball at the bar. The Bartender was very friendly. Overall good experience

Good drinks and good times. We had the calamari appetizer and caprese salad. The salad, in particular, was very tasty.
Authentic Italian restaurant. Great atmosphere. Excellent flavors of food. Owner was very interactive. Great location in old Scottsdale
Taking a stroll in Scottsdale, we (group of four) decided to stop in for lunch and grab a table outside. Appetizers, wine, main seafood/pasta dishes were all great and cooked to perfection. Everything came out in a timely manner. The waiter was very responsive and personable. Great place!
Incredible food, service and ambiance. Our server was incredible (Meatball, as we were told to call him)!! We were seated by the owner. To say the least we were impressed and VERY satisfied with our food and our whole experience.
This was a great Italian restaurant.
