This was one of my favorite restaurants during my visit to Arizona. Don't skip the mouthwatering lamb meatballs and bacon wrapped dates (loved the fresh bread and sauce with the meatballs). For entrees we shared the sea bass and sweet potato cannelloni. Both were delicious but I preferred the cannelloni-- the pasta had both wonderful flavor and texture. We were stuffed but had to try the house made gelato and the peanut butter pudding. I loved the dark chocolate gelato and the coconut- the espresso was just ok and didn't have the best texture. The peanut butter pudding was tasty but very rich and heavy.

Be sure to make a reservation as it can get quite crowded on weekends. We came a hoping to be seated a bit early and there was no space at the bar. Servers were quick and attentive. I was impressed by how quickly food came out even though it was so busy.
