We just discovered this restaurant. Our first time dining here. Everything that we ordered was perfection. Service was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time there. We definitely plan on going there again soon and often.

I have frequented this restaurant quite often. Today I ordered the Tilapia alla’ Acqua Pazza and what I got was tilapia picatta. I am a person who knows food and explained to the server #1 was way to salty not from the capers but from salt and #2 it was not Acqua pazza due to no tomatoes and no olives and the sauce was to thick. She said that’s the way they make it at lunch. I told her it’s picatta and didn’t want to wait for a new meal since I was with my mom and we like to eat the meal together. Also there was no bread she explained we don’t have bread until later. We were there at 2pm. After the meal I tried to explain to her again about my meal and she did give us a free tiramisu which I don’t eat but my mom enjoyed. I was very dissatisfied with the entire experience today. Today mom and I went to the cemetery for my dads birthday and we go out for a nice dinner or late lunch afterwards and today it was not a good experience. I wasn’t going to make any more of an issue about this out of respect for my mom but it was just not handled properly. We will give it another try one day and see but for now I am very disappointed. The photo is clearly not Acqua pazza. And please don’t insult my intelligence and try to convince me it is or that’s how they make it at lunch.

Stopped in today for Sonoran Restaurant week. We tried everything on the prix fixe menu and it was all delicious! Our server Daniela was also the bartender and she was on the ball. Made all the drinks and served all the food with a smile during lunch when we went in. We'll definitely be back to try their regular menu in the future.

We had a lovely dinner w/ friends. Our server was very pleasant. Service was quick & delicious entrees. We loved the pasta & sauces. The vegan pasta was really good also. Pinot noir was great too. ♥️

This is authentic Italian food. The owner is from Italy, she is a delightful and amazing lady. The servers are attentive, making sure your food is as expected. There is inside and patio seating with a beautiful view of the mountains. When we are showing off Tucson to our friends, this restaurant is always on our list.

Salmon in the salmon salad was cooked PERFECTLY! Not overdone & naturally tasty. Portions weren't large. Server was good. Prices a bit high, but salmon salad was DELICIOUS.

Decided to give this place another shot on Friday and was disappointed and probably will not be back. The service was mediocre, and the food was just OK. The chicken was not fully cooked and a bit overpriced for the sub par food. My daughter’s pizza was good though, and that’s the only reason why they get three or else it would be a two star review.

Poor food quality Service slow Food was missing ingredients ( bacon was absent from the club Torino) Pizza was served room temperature
Went here with friends. The granddaughter of the founding owners was our server. Charming young lady and she gave us excellent service. I had the corvina special. OMG, it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. Moist and tender, just excellent! It was served with steamed carrots and a pasta with a yummy pesto sauce on it. The bread was delicious too. Highly recommend.

I recently dined at this Italian restaurant, and the food was absolutely fantastic! The Caesar salad was a standout – they included capers, which added a delightful burst of flavor, and the dressing was perfectly balanced. I would highly recommend trying their salad.
The true star of the meal, though, was the lasagna with béchamel sauce. It was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious – probably one of the best I’ve had in a while. I’d definitely go back just for the food.
That said, the service left a bit to be desired. Our waitress seemed a little off, forgetting refills for both Diet Coke and water and even the bread at one point. It didn’t ruin the experience, but it was noticeable.
Overall, if you’re in the mood for amazing Italian cuisine and can overlook a few hiccups in service, this place is well worth a visit!

Well,I wish we could find out how good the food was, but when you wait for the Hostess to seat you and nobody acknowledges you for 15,mins. And the place wasn't busy, two couples eating that's all. Never going back.

It was my first visit. They had one of my favorite wines, an ancient vine zin from a winery I have visited often. We accompanied the wine with their calamari appetizer, which was both excellent and plentiful. We were going to order the cippiono, but the calamari did in our appetites, so will be the entre next time. Jeff, the bartender was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable.
