   Hidden in a small strip mall, that feeling drops away as soon as you enter. Wonderful fresh made pasta and flavorful sauces with a few creative selections. Attentive staff without hovering. Indoor seating area was smaller than I expected but comfortable and it was still easy to converse at a table of 6. Patio about doubles the seating. Limited wine selection but what we had was very good and paired well with the pasta dishes. Lighting was moderately low but still easy to read the menu. Portion sizes were good, several at our table took food home (the others all but licked the plate it was that good). All commented that this was a great find and would be happy to come back.

   Bar service was quick. Old Fashion cocktail Was good! Focaccia bread with flavored butter was tasty! My sea bass was delicious and my husband liked the short rib pasta dish. We highly recommend this establishment and would definitely come back

   We were here for my wife’s birthday. Just two of us. We sat on the outdoor patio where there are ample heaters if needed. Plenty of space between tables for an intimate dinner. Our waiter was very attentive and was always there to help or fill our wine glasses. We ordered the eggplant appetizer which was delicious. My wife had the Margarita Pizza. It was very Italian, thin and simple. Barely any basil (one little piece per slice) but enough for one person. I had baked pasta with no meat. It was very tasty and I could eat only half of the order. We will definitely be eating there again. One thing I wanted to share is that they have a great looking bar with lots of seating and a few tv’s. It will be a good place to stop in have a cocktail in the future.

    Took a chance, wanted Italian food and looked for restaurants in the Scottsdale area. Landed at Sfizio. Weather was nice, and we asked if we could move our reservation to the patio. Patio heaters were on, but not terribly uncomfortable. Our waitress came and was super nice and friendly. We started with the Bruschetta, which was amazing and flavorful. I am sensitive to garlic, so Italian isn't normally my jam, but this appetizer was flavored perfectly. We then tried two main dishes, a Prosciutto and Arugula Margarita pizza, and a Vodka Sauce Penne Pasta dish. The pizza was very good, the crust firm and soft. The pasta was AMAZING. The Vodka sauce was perfection, and a dollop of Ricotta topped it off. We added Italian Sausage to ours, and all of it was delicious. You could taste how fresh the entire dish was, and it really showed. We wrapped it up with dessert, my wife got the Limoncello, and I had the Tiramisu. My wife was in love with her cake, and I was in love with mine. Both were easy 5/5. My only ding on the entire experience is that the patio is situated right next door to a noisy restaurant. I'll sit inside next time. Can't wait to bring the whole family.
