It is one of my favorite restaurants in the USA and definitely one of the best in Arizona. I keep coming back because it is consistently delicious, the staff is always kind and professional, and it always feels special. I brought my mother in law here. For reference, she's an executive chef in New York City and has a pop-up restaurant in the Hamptons. This woman will point out everything and anything she feels could be done better any time she goes to a restaurant. She smiled throughout the meal, seemed relaxed, and actually finished her plate. My mother, who is an extremely picky eater and normally will also criticize food she doesn't like, has been here multiple times and has said that it was delicious. It's safe to say that I'll be a loyal customer for life.

Frickin Netflix... Yeah, we noticed this restaurant because of Chris Bianco's episode of ChefsTable Pizza series, and we bookmarked it for a special occasion. We came in with too high an expectation, or maybe we had appropriate expectations that should have been met. Either way, its a one-and-done. The Chicken Liver appetizer was tasty and a delicacy, but the ratio of liver to bread was a bit high for our palettes. The Limoncello Negroni was tasty but stronger than we anticipated. The fettucini al limone had some spice due to the chili flakes. Fresh pasta in a delightful sauce. We did appreciate the NY strip, whatever seasonings the chef used made the crust fantastic. And the single quartered russet potato with cheese shavings and rosemary paired well with the steak, but the price point was well outside the experience. And based on our waitress' reaction, we can safely assume that chef Bianco doesn't often make an appearance. The night could have been saved had the valet followed through with his promise to bring us the Porsche Cayenne instead of our Kia Soul.

An amazing dinning experience as always. The atmosphere is comfortable and open - service is flawless and the food options delicious. We have been often and never had a bad meal. This time we tried the NY Strip - not the best option. A bit more marbled than we expected at this level of dinning. We would have opted for the pork chops or chicken which have never disappointed.

Oh my goodness, this place is a must-go if you are in the area. Each and every dish was mouth-watering good. We ordered the focacia with whipped butter and honey, cheese plate, fettucci, swordfish, and mushrooms. Everything was phenomenal. I could eat those mushrooms on their own every day. I regret not ordering dessert (I couldn't, or I would have had to roll myself out since the portion sizes are family style and generous), but each item on the dessert menu sounded like it needed to be in my belly. I will most definitely visit again. Our server, Ryan, was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. The atmosphere and interior design are very cool. Limited seating with plenty of space between tables made the atmosphere very comfortable and gave the illusion of a private dinner. Great for a date night. Loved to see everyone dressed well for a night out, even on a Tuesday. I am craving the food already and looking forward to the next creative menu options!

Everything about this place was great! Starting with the seating, the waiting area is really nice, and then when you get to your table you have plenty of space between you and the other tables. The host nicely explained the menu to us. We got the chicken livers for appetizer, which we really enjoyed, and then two pasta dishes. The food was super delicious and you could tell that the pasta is freshly made. There were so many subtle flavors in the sauce that you could taste. For dessert we got the frozen chocolate mousse with whipped marshmallow topping. As someone who isn’t a big fan of marshmallows, I was amazed at how delicious the dessert was!!
