Best Italian Restaurants in Fountain Hills / Rio Verde

Food was good. Servers were nice but service was so so slow. They seem to be short-handed every time we've been there, under old ownership as well as new. Perhaps hire more people especially for the weekend during busy, snowbird season? Also ran out of several menu items by 8:00 pm. The atmosphere is great - nice, quiet location. Will give them another try after a while and see.

We went as a group on a Thursday night and I have to say it was really outstanding. I had the special of the fish n chips and they were wonderful. A few folks got the burgers and were very happy as well as the french dip. But, the real key that put them over the top as outstanding was our server Gracie. She was magnificent! Came back and checked on us several times, always smiling and every single detail we asked for was perfect! We all commented on the way home we couldn't remember the last time we had service this excellent! She really makes Thompson 105 a place to go to have great service and amazing food!!

Best food in the valley with the exception of Steak 44. My wife and I have attended Casa Mia dozens of times and never had a bad meal or service! That says a lot and sets a very high standard that few restaurants can match.

I have been excited to try this new restaurant. We had friends in town, so it was a great opportunity. The place was full the entire time we were there. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and timed perfectly. They have a lot of staff working. Everyone was very pleasant from the hostess table to the people bussing tables. Following someone else’s review, our party ordered the short rib lasagna, short rib pappardelle, and I got the chicken rigatoni. Everyone raved about their meals. The Caesar salad had the prettiest presentation. As much as I’d like to keep this restaurant to myself, I have to say it’s amazing, and will be on top of the list when we go out. You must have a reservation. It’s busy and for good reason!

Great place, with great food, wine and service. Don’t know why it’s not busier?!
