In Short – Homesick for your mother's Italian cooking? Grab your appetite and head to this restaurant, where the friendly wait staff will serve up portions of Colosseum-esque proportions, like spaghetti and meatballs loaded with savory tomato sauce and lots of pungent garlic. Dishes center on Southern Italian immigrant fare, and are meant to be shared family-style with a large goblet of wine-to enhance the taste, of course.

Italian served family-style

by rdeanb

Anyone who wants to place this in the special occasion dining section of these reviews is missing the boat. This is your average chain family-oriented Italian that serves huge portions at reasonable prices. Although the food is good, there is nothing special about it. Unfortunately Phoenix seems to be a chain oriented dining town, so try some of the other local establishments if you want something for special occasion, but if you want to take your family out for an Italian dinner served family-style, this is the place.

  • Pros: Family style Italian comfort food
  • Cons: Noisy and not very comfortable
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Old word italian

by pijakjak

Unlike chain Italian, this place seems to make most of their food from scratch. This result in fresher taste. The garlic bread has real garlic, but too much of cheese that it eat more like pizza. the Apple salad is refreshing with the right amount of dressing. Main dishes portion are big. The desert is made in house. The wait can be long on busy weekends night.

  • Pros: Seating, fresh ingredients
  • Cons: price, too busy on weekends, nothing serious though.
