    We really enjoyed the food and service. Unfortunately, we could barely hear our table mates once the piano started—and we were struggling before that to converse over the din. The pasta was homemade and perfectly al dente. The desserts were amazing. We would return perhaps if we could get a quieter table far away from the piano.

    First time dining. Arina our server was very attentive. Eddie the manager sat down and had a chat with us. All the staff we came in contact with couldn't help us enough. While we waited outside for our table to be ready a staff member even brought us complimentary Prosecco. All of these things made us feel appreciated. Most importantly the food was delicious.

    Excellent menu, food, service and ambience. The piano player is a real plus, The noise level was elevated, but not so bad that you couldn't hear your table mates. The craft cocktails were delicious. The wines by the glass list is fine, but could use some sprucing up with more Italian varietals as does the wine list in general. It is not a great wine list. From apps to dessert, the food was a 10 out of 10. The four of us all had our favorites from the mussels, to the peppers, from the veal parm to the petrale sole, and not to forget the excellent pastas. It is a very classy restaurant, but on a very busy Friday night, it was pretty clear that there is no dress code, which for me was a tad disappointing. What an excellent addition to the Scottsdale dining scene.

    This was our first time at the restaurant and we really enjoyed our experience. Everything was superb from the appetizers , to the salads, main dish, and of course, the tiramisu. We will definitely be back!

    Food was terrible.Tasteless special pasta, lightly pushed by server as great. Fully burned bread. Gimmicky Aperol Spritz completely ruined balance of drink. Its a Disneyland version of a NY Italian restaurant. Could be pleasant if food was better. Service very attentive, except when they were overwhelmed with tables or just not around.
