                                                              Great find and everything was excellent. Arrancini was a huge hit, perfectly filled and cooked to perfection. The gnocchi with sausage was made from scratch and the red sauce was a perch accompaniment to the pillowy gnocchi. Gelatop mashed a fantastic finish! Highly recommend as price point to quality food and service was astonishing!

                                                              This was our first experience at Sfizio. A welcoming experience with superb service by all. Our party of 4 was completely satisfied with our dishes. For example, the gnocchi was handmade with delicious Marzano tomato sauce which I could have eaten a little more (if more was served) mmmm…melt in your mouth delicious, romana salad was tasty with its greens, grilled vegetables and flavourful herb dressing, handmade lasagna was served generously. For dessert, we chose the hand crafted cannolis. A nice modern style trattoria tucked away in a plaza across from Desert Ridge. We will come again soon.

                                                              Another good restaurant has gone downhill because of "shrinkflation". It would have been ok if the good quality is the same except it wasn't!! I came for the pizza and it was flavorless and the crust was chewy vs crispy being a thin one. The restaurant was quite empty but yet our service was slow ... The best thing was the server who was pleasant. It will be a while before I consider coming back, sadly!!!
