    Good ol reliable friendly neighborhood restaurant. Decent food. You know what to expect because they are consistent. We frequent Argenzianos may once every few month. Service is good and prices are reasonable.

    Really great food and service . Looked for something closer to our friend's place who are visiting from out of town this evening . This place had great reviews so we drove 25 minutes from north east tucson to check it out . Cozy low key Italian - everything came out steaming hot - big plus - Pizza outstanding, perfect topping to crust ratio . The crust was perfect crunch , bread on sausage and meatballs sandwiches reminds my of those amazing crunchy rolls at authentic Vietnamese place . Stuffed shells , ravioli and sausage and peppers all a big hit ! Lemon and cheesecake desserts spectacular/ Loren was our server , she was on it and she couldn't have been more friendly . Super happy we found this restaurant , we'll be back !

    Still a delicious place and they now take reservations! We had a little bit of a wait which was expected on a Friday night and grabbed a glass of wine until our table was ready. Football was playing on one tv by the bar and the vibe of the rest of the restaurant was relaxing and enjoyable. We ordered the antipasto which is my absolute favorite, chicken fettuccine alfredo, a cheese pizza and sausage and peppers over penne. That last one is my new favorite All the employees are very kind with big smiles. You gotta try this place at least once!

    Chicken wings original sauce/ we ate 3 before I took the pic! There are other sauces to choose from as well. Ranch was great!

    Inside needs a bit of a face lift and fans need a cleaning (my husband noticed that) but let me tell you the food was delicious and came out hot! They just changed to Pepsi products from RC the waitress told us. Service was efficient and friendly

    Fresh Jumbo Portobello Ravioli $16.95 served with soup/salad and dinner rolls. Delish, perfectly cooked. 7-2024

    Early dinner at 3PM and dining room was half full already in the heat of summer; definitely a good sign. Stone's throw from Vail but in the middle of seemingly nowhere is this local Italian gem. PASTA Service was great and all the food was excellent, especially the ravioli, perfectly cooked al dente and enough sauce to see you through leftovers if you didn't snarf it down in one sitting with 6-8 large ones. Hubby got the Portabello and I the ricotta with 2 meatballs. Not sure if made in house but it's very fresh and texture appears so. Meatballs were medium firm, garlicky and herbaceous, and delicious. $16.95 for both dishes and amazingly also served with a yeasty firm dinner roll with butter that comes out with the water, and choice of soup (Italian Wedding or Pasta e Fagioli) or salad. We tried the Fagioli which was excellent, again perfectly cooked beans in a flavorful medium dense tomato broth. On asking for dressings, Caesar was an option and waitress asked if hubby wanted to make that a Caesar side which he did. Receipt showed later a .75c crouton & $1.50 cheese upgrade, so that was a sneaky hit. Dressing had pronounced anchovy flavor which my partner love loves but it wasn't worth the upgrade, and definitely the weak link in the meal. Will stick to the normal salad in future or soups which are stellar. SIPS Oddly for an Italian restaurant they did not have Campari on a full bar to make the beloved national fave Negroni, so hubby got a standard Old Fashioned $13 -$2 for Happy Hr, which I did not recall seeing on the menu and -$1 on $10 Whisky Barrel Aged Cab made for Argz's that was yummy. Guests had a Hot Italian Roast Beef Hero $12 which was packed full of thin slices and as a Midwesterner he devoured it in delight; and a huge plateful of chicken alfredo $20.95 that would easily provided seconds and possibly thirds for a lil bird haha Counting my calories and days to get to this slice of Little Italy deliciousness in Corona de Tucson, Ciao Bello!

    Buffalo chicken calzone (super greasy and undercooked) portion was already in the trash, couldn't even eat this

    First I want to say this place was highly recommended by multiple people so I was excited to try them out. Coming off being sick and not wanting to cook for the family we figured we'd try an order to go. First negative, they were out of ingredients for margarita pizza- unfortunate, yet forgivable. We ended up ordering spaghetti and meatballs, with the house salad (included diced tomatoes and red onions) and a cold roll tossed in the bag unwrapped (nice touch). The spaghetti and meatballs we ordered extra meatballs for $3.00 a piece. It was fine but tasted like sauce from a jar and frozen meatballs. Definitely not worth the cost. And should have just made it at home. We ordered an order of calamari and it smelled so fishy it was obviously a terrible choice. I was brave enough to try it and couldn't even bite through it was so rubbery. Immediately tossed it out. Will follow up if food poisoning ensues. We ordered a Buffalo chicken calzone and it was full of grease, cubed frozen chicken and unmelted cheese. We tried to eat it but threw it away. Picture included for this masterpiece. We also ordered and paid for two orders of tiramisu and only received one. I did call to let them know that the meal was horrible and they forgot our second tiramisu. The manager said that the calzone comes like that- greasy and undercooked so will not replace but said they'll put our name on a list and give us a free calamari and tiramisu next time we come in. We will not be returning and will be telling our neighbor it's and friends about our experience. We just fed our trash can nearly $90 of food including a tip and I'm so mad that the calamari is making the house smell like fish. Someone needs to call Gordon Ramsey- this is the stuff kitchen nightmares is made of. They must serve either heavy poured or cheap drinks because the food is terrible. The only reason I rated one star was so I could write this review. Also not only does the food suck, the management is kinda awful too. This has nothing to do with them personally, I'm only rating them professionally. Save your money for the gas station cantina or the taco truck. You'll be happier with either place.

    It's way overpriced for the food they serve and everything, including sour cream is extra.

    What a great place to stop in for lunch, Meghann made sure the food was right and brought us great…read moredrinks. They have a very wide selection of whiskeys and tap and bottled beers along with the soft drinks to keep everyone happy!!

    I really hate giving a small business a low rating, but here goes…read more I've heard about this place on Facebook and then through the few Yelp reviews. Ratings gave this a positive vibe. Cool. Gotta check this place out because there really isn't a "cool vibe" in Benson. It's a sleepy neglected railroad town that gets ignored by interstate drivers. There's not much in Benson to draw someone to visit this town. But I'm not an interstate driver passer-by, I live in Sierra Vista, 40 miles to the south. I actually planned a trip north to this place to check it out with a burger and beer Thursday special, and then spend some time walking around the old 'hood with my dog to check out the holiday lights. Bad move. I got here at 8:02pm on a Thursday night. The bartender told me the kitchen closed at 6pm. Huh? On a Thursday? I can understand Sundays through Wednesdays, but a Thursday? I was dumbfounded. The sign up front said the place was open until 10pm, but there was nothing stating "kitchen closes at 6pm." Nowhere. I drove all the way to Benson for nothing? Yeah, I was livid. The bartender was willing to talk to the manager but I was not about to request that the manager open the kitchen just for my order, not two hours after the kitchen staff was let go. I understand how restaurants work: hourly employees are let go early when business is slow. It's hard to make a living as kitchen staff for a restaurant unless the restaurant is popular for its food, ambiance and vibe. This place is too new to draw a fanbase. Give it some time. Then I remembered (once I calmed down) that this place is a bar first. Not a restaurant. You walk into a small room and see the bright lights, the comfy couch set up front to the left, and the beer list on the wall to the right. People sit at the bar to drink, not to savor a juicy burger. Lesson learned. I will try again in the future. The business has a Facebook page and when it advertises a meal deal for dinner, I'll be all over that like flies on feces. Maybe a weekend visit would be more appropriate.

    Great Beer. Great Service. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!read more

    This place is so much nicer now that it's no longer a strip club catering to horny soldiers,…read moredefense contractors, and civil servants. Because of its seedy past, I had avoided this place for 15 years. And then the Sorry Gulch became the Horned Toad and cleaned up its act. I finally stopped by yesterday afternoon, a Friday, when I read the reviews here mentioning craft beer on tap. I had to check this out. I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the dark lighting reminds you that you are in a bar, but there are now various sections within the space for a variety of happenings: dancing, listening to live music, shooting pool, sitting on couches by a fire place, sitting at tables with friends, or sitting at the bar. Seats and tables are spread apart to comply with the 6' distancing. I sat at the bar with my friend and had a variety of Arizona craft beers. It was an off hour and quiet enough for conversation without yelling. I'm sure this place can get loud and crowded late on a Friday or Saturday night. Happy Hours are 3-6pm every day when the tap beers are $5 and there are IPAs, blondes, pale ales, stouts to choose from. The beers are constantly changing. I had a beer brat for $5 to stave off my hunger and got to talk to the friendly managers, Miles and Debbie, who both were very attentive to my friend and me. The outdoor patio is also dog friendly as long as the dog is nice, is leashed, and refrains from drinking alcohol. I will be back!
