I came for my birthday on Friday with a few of my friends and our server was amazing. She was so attentive and made the whole table feel like she was one of our best friends. Her name was Lilly. Definitely the highlight of my day!

Best restaurant, food and service for your celebration!
We had the absolute best server! She was amazing, attentive, and accommodating! We had a large party, and our service was top notch. The drinks were tasty and the food was fabulous.Kid-friendliness: They split a spaghetti plate in two dishes to accommodate our children who were under the age of 7.
I came in yesterday for my birthday, I was having a super awful day. I got there and staff was very welcoming, they made sure I was well taken care of and the food was delicious. I had a great time and I even got some cannolis to end my meal. Wonderful service, wonderful meal, thank you for making my birthday good.Dietary restrictions: They were very helpful about my mustard seed allergy

The Penne Alla Vodka was superb! The Truffle Fries were also very delicious. If you're a fan of balsamic vinegar, the ¿Torano/Torino? or something salad is calling your name. Another friend's stuffed mushroom pasta looked good, too. The waitress was very accommodating when splitting our order and applying the TucsonFoodie deal.Vegetarian options: Plenty of salad options and a few pasta dishes. Some appetizers and desserts would appeal to vegetarians/vegans, too.Parking: On the weekend, I recommend parking in the Tyndall garage, as it's free then. There are street parking spots as well.
My husband and I went here Friday evening around 7PM. We made reservations and were quickly sat at a table that was reserved for us. The restaurant is a good size with indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a small bar and mounted TVs as well. It's also on the UofA campus on University Street, so lots of shops right outside the area! Unfortunately I was not feeling well so we had to cut our time short. However, in the short time we were there, our server, Jade, did a great job attending to us. There was even a point that I accidentally dropped a part appetizer on the floor, and she happily approached us to replace it for us. The food came out looking really yummy. However I felt my main dish could have used a bit more flavor. The spinach I added to it however (at Jade's suggestion) was amazing, and a good pairing with the pasta! I would go again to give it another try and try out the dessert too.

Ordered pizza & chicken Alfredo, both were delicious! The pizza had that crispy taste & the chicken Alfredo was flavorful. The staff were very kind, & attentive. The ambiance was excellent, spacious & comfortable.

Maybe a 3+, not a 4.Had to get pizza for my choir doing a performance at Centennial Hall. This was the closest. It was about the only close pizzeria that delivers, too, (through GrubHub, I think) but I decided it was only a 5 minute walk and I didn't want to spend the premium prices for the pizzas and the delivery. Their crust is really good, I liked it. They are also about the only pizzeria in this area that has a gluten-free option for crust! Go figure. All these pizzerias around the U of A and only one gluten-free option? Crazy.Toppings were OK. The pizza on a whole was OK. Pricey, especially for the size. Could be better.5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money.4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business.3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it.2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money.1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

Service was good. That was not the problem at all. We started off with mangorita with tajin and jalapeños and Negroni cocktails. Tried the arancini for appetizers. It definitely hit the spot. We had the Napolitano and Margherita pizzas. I realized this is an Italian-inspired menu, but it would be nice if it was closer to the actual thing. Napolitano pizzas would have anchovies. The real kind and not the substitutes we see at domino's or Pizza Hut. The dough was not good. It felt like the dough was still raw, but it wasn't. My son had the tortellini. Very bland. The tiramisu was so so. We would only go back for happy hour. Drinks were good.
