My first visit! It was quite nice. A bit loud due to all the tile, but otherwise I was happy. Great service, keeping up with our needs.
We had the Foraged pizza slice. It seemed like it was made several hours earlier and maybe heated up, since the oil had made its way through the crust, and the whole thing seemed a bit settled.
I had the eggplant parmigiana, which was very good! Decent serving size, with a generous arugula salad. Very well done!

I have been to this restaurant several times when we come to visit Tucson. I have brought friends on day trips and I have even told relatives who live here they needed to try it. I have been craving this place for a week we were in town for our anniversary I have been craving a pasta dish they have had for a week. We get there we start with a Cesar salads for me and my wife the salad was so brown it made me lose my appetite we asked for the bill. I didn’t feel comfortable eating somewhere that would serve something that looks like it was sitting in the back of the fridge. Both salads were that brown.

Appetizers were really good, we had the artichoke, and the calamari, entrees were fair to not good,a little cold and old, pizza was dry, old, not fresh, as we recall the meal more, and ate at other places, a fair rating a little below good for a final answer,it was an hour before closing when we arrived so go for lunch or early dinner or you will get old food that’s been sitting out all day tasting. We are Not going back here it’s not worth it at all for the $$$$ paid.

Terribly Disappointing food. I ordered the Sfoglia with pork. It was watery and had an odd tasting sauce as if it was smoked. The Sfoglia was cooked at a proper al dente it was so under cooked I could not eat it. Parts were crunchy. I couldn't eat it.
My husband had Penne All'Arabbiata and it was also terrible. The food was never great but it used to be much better when they first opened up. This place has gone so down hill. Bathroom was old and restaurant shows age. Our server was sweet but I did not burden her with how bad the food was. She did her job, the chef did not do theirs.

The food here has always been fresh and very tasty, and I’ve tried lots of things on the menu! They have a lot of space for larger parties, and a small coffee/cocktail bar that’s open in the mornings. The lighting is so pretty inside this restaurant!

Came here on a date! Service was cool but the ambiance was ruined bc we were seated with a VERY LOUD GROUP. Idk what the hostess was thinking seeing a couple that has come in for a nice dinner and seats them next to a large party. It really killed the atmosphere.

I opted for a glass of Chardonnay which was fantastic! I really enjoyed it. Really everything you want in an American Chardonnay. It was fruity, complex, oaky just perfect.

For the app the bruschetta was messy to eat, and was underwhelming. Way too much tomatoes and it was just not a sexy thing to eat.

I got the chicken and that was delicious. The broccolini and the polenta made for a perfect place of food.

My date got the lasagna which was just ok. It was very very tomato forward and acidic. I prefer my sauce to be milder and not so sour.

Dessert was mind altering. That pistachio ice cream was sooo good. Amazing. No notes. The tiramisu was classic. It was light, fluffy, airy, good coffee and liquor flavor. I was impressed.

Honestly, this place blew me away. The bread alone was incredible—maybe the best I’ve ever had, warm, soft, and just perfect. We also ordered the calamari and fried artichokes, and both were just as impressive. Everything came out fresh and full of flavor. It’s the kind of meal where even the simple things stand out. Really happy we tried it, and I’d definitely come back just for that bread and those starters again.
