    Bruschetta

    The food here is incredible! I had the Chef's special and the bruschetta. The pasta dish is one of the best I have ever eaten. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend! The only downside is that I live 7 hours away from here.

    Such an awesome little hidden gem! Good service, great food, sat on the patio which was nice! Can't go wrong with a classic cheese pizza and some vodka pasta with some grilled chicken in it! Will definitely be coming back! All the food was delicious!

    Chefs Favorite a familiar flavor to me with a rich ham savory taste. Loved it! Stole from my wife lol.

    Wishing we had a place like this in South Chandler. Everyone deserves a great local Italian spot where all the food is made from scratch using literally grandma's recipes. A place where you know the food is made by the chef and not line cooks who don't have the feel for the plate you order. Made like it was in your own kitchen the dishes we ordered were fantastic. Really they were outstanding. Want to come back and try their pizza. Those of you who live close by and haven't tried this place should because you will find it to be so much better than giant restaurants and chains where don't get this level of quality. You guys rock and keep up the great work. Till we pop in again!

    Came here strictly off of other Yelp reviews. This is a small whole in the wall type of establishment. Inside was completely redone since covid due to an unfortunate fire. :( The waiter we had was very friendly. We asked him about the dishes & what he would recommend. He was very helpful & patient with us. I ordered the linguini & clams with white sauce, it was quite tasty, but, in all honesty it was a little on the salty side. But, very flavorful. My husband ordered some chicken pesto pasta dish & he said his was very tasty. We also had some cheese garlic bread as an appetizer. Also good! He did say that the bread for the garlic bread is the same as what they use for their pizzas, all in all, I'd say this is a very good hidden gem, definitely would suggest giving them a try if you ever in the area. Oh & just fyi, they are located in a strip mall type of place.

    The food was phenomenal, you must try something with their homemade pesto. Service was perfection, everyone was so kind and really elevated the experience. Literally there was always someone nearby that was perfectly attentive. I sat in their outside dining and had full Venice feels of sitting outside watching the world go by. BYOB, They will supply the glasses. If you forget, there is a convenient store next door. The perfect dining experience!

No wait in line for the tables! The service is fast and attentive. The short rib is perfectly tender. The eggplant shakshouka is perfectly seasoned. The lucky cream bun is to die for. Milk bread is so soft and goes really well with strawberry mascarpone.

We were seated inside quickly - it was a slow afternoon. Signs on the door let you know they have A/C however they left the front door propped open so it wasn't that cool inside. We each had a cocktail and they were pretty good - him a Painkiller on Main (he said it was good) and I had Ranch Water Paloma but asked them to mix tequila and mezcal rather than have me choose one over the other. Quite tasty! We just did apps: Fondue Blanc served with linguisa, pretzel bread and roasted cauliflower. The fondue was especially delicious with the cauliflower. We also had pimento cheese served with potato chips and chicharrones. I've only ever tasted grocery store made pimento cheese and was not a fan but when I tasted the pimento cheese at Beginner's Luck, I instantly became enamored. Totally enjoyed it with the chips. I recommend stopping in for a bite when wandering Old Town.

    Great salad and fresh, clean tasting bread…read more Pros 1. Very flexible to build your own salad/bowl with a lot of clean ingredients to choose from 2. The salmon was cooked perfectly, which I was pleasantly surprised about since a lot of quick food places overcook proteins. Second time ordering from here I got the roasted chicken, which was also good but I liked the salmon better (personal preference). 3. The green goddess dressing is really good especially if you like dill. 4. They use real olive oil since I got that as a dressing and can taste that it's not a cheap replacement, but in fact the real thing EVOO. 5. Very clean and homemade tasting bread that comes with the salad (you have to select it during the ordering process for no extra money). Cons 1. The first time I ordered a salad here with romaine and arugula the greens to toppings ratio was great. The second time I ordered, I received too much arugula and spring mix compared to the amount of toppings they put on. It was mostly greens.

    I tried sweet green recently and it was delicious! Upon walking in you're greeted with an…read moreindustrial kitchen setting and the employees prompt you to order on an iPad.

    First off, the outside of this building looks so welcoming, and you walk in and it practically…read morescreams, "Hey you, come eat a plant and feel better about your life choices." Inside, the vibe is excellent and cleaner than my search history. Contrary to some of the other reviews I've read, my service was incredibly fast and efficient. To be fair, we walked in well after the lunch rush, but the staff was still totally on top of it. As for the food, my friends ordered The Club and The Grinder, and both absolutely loved them. I went with the Moroccan Turkey, and oh my god, I loved everything about it. The standout players were definitely the Greek yogurt sauce and that red wine vinaigrette. Absolutely incredible flavor combo. That said... unless my friends and I have suddenly hit a massive growth spurt, the portions could definitely be a bit larger for what you're paying. We're in Scottsdale, not a micro-portion tasting menu in Paris. Feed us, ChopShop! The real plot twist of the meal was the BBQ potato chips. I thought they were absolute perfection. However, they caused a full-on culinary debate in our group. They lean pretty sweet and have this distinct Indian-spice vibe going on. If you're expecting standard backyard-barbecue Lays, you're going to be confused. Half the table was questioning their entire existence, while I was busy hoarding the bag. Come for the great food and healthy atmosphere, just maybe grab a snack beforehand if you're starving--and prepare your palate for the chip controversy.
