Food was good but the plumbing and bathroom is disgusting. There is black mold in the bathroom toilet which makes me question the health quality of the food and water served

Passable Italian restaurant but nothing spectacular. Dishes weren't necessarily authentic Italian but more so someone's interpretation of authentic Italian. But they were tasty and overall the experience was fine.

We couldn’t get a reservation anywhere near old town Scottsdale. We found this restaurant and they had availability. Overall, it was fine. The food was decent and the ambience was fine. It didn’t stand out, by any means. I wouldn’t hesitate to go again if I couldn’t get in somewhere else, but I would probably choose something different if I had more options. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves.
