Great casual Italian with excellent pizza. Came in here today on a whim and am so glad that I did. There’s a lot of really nice restaurants in the desert but you won’t find better people or comfort food than they have here.

We just left from there and all the other times we have had a great experience but today our server was a snob and when we had left my cousin was in the restroom and my brother was by the door waiting for him to come out our server didn’t know he was still there and was in the back talking to her coworker talking bad about us saying she hates serving those kind of people and how she wishes it was still like the old days when the blacks and Mexicans knew there place straight racism to the max especially in 2024 is crazy to me and all because we said we didn’t want onions on our pizza in the nicest way we didn’t ask them to remake it or nothing but I noticed from the gate she looked like she didn’t want to serve us and now I see why straight racist!!!!!!!!

This restaurant has such a beautiful ambience. Everything about this cute little restaurant makes you feel at home. Great customer service greeted once we entered the door. The entire restaurant is decorated and painted. Its the perfect Italian restaurant. We absolutely fell in love! From the service to every sip of wine. The delicious food is a must try. You will not be disappointed. I love pasta!! We even had to take a few dishes to go! It was a wonderful evening well spent. Thank you for all that you do!

Chicken picatta was so salty it was inedible. Also tried lemon chicken...couldn't eat at. Awful.
Usually have antipasto salad which is quite good.

I've gone here multiple times but, IMO, they've gone downhill a little but. My first time there, I would have given them 5 stats but, I don't think they're as good as previously.
