We came here with the whole family tonight to celebrate my father's birthday. 5 of us total…read more(including my 6 & 4 year old son and daughter). My husband and I had been once before for our anniversary and the food was incredible. Tonight really showed how much heart and love goes into this restaurant when a little boy peaked out from behind the wall & asked if my kids wanted to play with him as we waited to be seated. After making sure it was okay with who I'm assuming is the owner & family of the little boy, my kids went to the table he was at to color and play with him. Everyone was so kind and gracious with my kids, and the little boy Sebastian was the highlight of our night. He was such a sweet kid & the best little host. My kids had a great time with him as we waited for our food. I got the carbonara, my dad got the chicken pesto & my husband got a 3 meat penne. The kids got chicken tender and fries. Each dish was delicious and tasted authentic. The bruschetta dip was amazing. My husband doesn't normally like bruschetta, but how the flavors were balanced had him eating most of it. The bread was perfect, crisp outside with a softer inside. My carbonara was creamy and flavorful. Most carbonara upsets my stomach because of dairy (but I still order it anyway because it's my favorite), but how they made it here left me feeling satisfied without an upset stomach which is a huge win in my book! It warmed my heart to feel like my kids were welcomed in a restaurant with open arms when many restaurants view kids in general as a burden. We will definitely be back! Personally, we've never been to a restaurant that provided this quality of service and hospitality in addition to the best Italian food we've had at a more than reasonable cost! 10/10 recommend this to anyone!

Italian Restaurant located in Downtown Avondale. The…read morerestaurant is cute and the decorations are on theme for an Italian restaurant, but are not cheesy. They compliment the culture extremely well, and help set the atmosphere. When we went for lunch on a Sunday, it was pretty empty (only 1 other table). I would recommend not worrying about the low attendance. I think this has to do more with the fact that Downtown Avondale tends to be pretty empty. I think that they would do really well and be a lot busier if they were in a different location. The service was amazing, our server was attentive and gave out really good recommendations. While all the food was delicious...the free bread was my favorite. It was perfectly toasted and seasoned and included a brushetta topping on the side. I could have just ate that and would have been extremely happy. We ordered an appetizer of Calamari, it was a good portion size for the cost. The Calamari was well seasoned and crispy. I ordered the Portobello Mushroom Ravioli. It was flavorful with large pieces of mushroom mixed with the sauce. Even though it was a white cream sauce, the dish was suprisingly light, I would recommend trying it. The other two people I was with both ordered the Frutti de Mare. There was a good mixe and amount of seafood in the dish and the pasta was cooked perfectly. While the marinara sauce was good, I don't think it was something that was out of this world. I just think it needed a little more seasoning or some kind of kick to round it out. Overall, great restaurant and would recommend.

This is all freshly made to order, not a sit down Restaurant just a to-go spot but this will be my new favorite place to grab food, On my way home from work. I cannot wait to come back. I had chicken piccata, and my daughter had the fettuccine Alfredo. Both were outstanding. I loved every bite, came with garlic bread that was toasted and delicious. Then I ended with a homemade chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich, which was to die for. I cannot wait to go back!!! Thank you so much to the staff for making my meal and experience so great.

Two offspring had Alfredo Fettuccini, and Meat Ravioli. All were served with Garlic Bread. Dishes had rave reviews. The portions were ample, except for the Ravioli. Overall a good experience. I don't usually order food for take out, but good to know Pasta Lovers is an option.

We were greeted by the kindest gentleman at the door, who helped us to our seats and made us feel welcome right away. Then we met Lisa--a Jersey girl with Arizona in her heart! What a sweetheart. We laughed so much with her, and she made us feel like we'd known her for years. Honestly, we couldn't have imagined a better evening with her looking after us. Ask for her section if you go, and don't be shy about asking her for recommendations! The food was fresh and so delicious, and the portions were big! We shared the calamari, a side salad and lasagna, then finished with Italian cookies, tiramisu and a latte. Definitely consider sharing, and save room for dessert! We loved the food, the atmosphere and how welcome everyone made us feel. We've already been telling people to visit and ask for Lisa! Lisa, thank you for all the laughs and for making our night so special. The Sicilian Butcher is lucky to have you. We've fallen in love with Arizona, and this evening was one of the reasons why. Until we meet again!

The service was good, however, I ordered the Ceasar Salad and Margherita Pizza for lunch. The lettuce in the salad was bitter and on the verge of turning yellow, the pizza was good, presentation could be better. The staff was courteous to oblige and correct the issue. Bakery side is lovely, Cannoli's are my favorite and they were scrumptious. Overall, it is a beautiful atmosphere, service was good, food could better for the price. I do plan on returning to the restaurant and bakery to try other menu items.

The chicken was cooked perfectly and the polenta was delicious. My husband had Braised Short Rib Marsala. He loved it and the amount of black truffle was perfect. Service was quick and efficient. The food came out fairly fast for such a busy Friday night. The Ambiance was great, how ever I wish we could actually see our food without a flash light. Next time we will join them for lunch. Thank you

Unlike 80% of this evenings customers we dined on premises. An attempt was made at some sort of…read morelighting for evening hours... but I suspect as noodles are a comfort food corporate would've been better off to have gone with a cozier vibe for the interior. The modern surfaces and furniture are unremarkable. It's difficult to distinguish whether a table you approach is dirty or clean because of the weird would like texture/pattern to the surface. We were gladly provided with actual menus so we could sit down and make our selections before returning to the register to place our order. This was much appreciated by the 10 year-old. He chose the buttered noodles with grilled chicken another vegetable option as a side would have been appreciated, but he went with an extra order of broccoli. It was a little more al dente than he appreciated. And while he's not one to notice or comment, I was really annoyed with the lack of Care taken to place the grilled chicken in any sort of attractive manner on his serving of noodles. Quite frankly, it looked a little mangled. As we were leaving, I noticed a customer who had ordered the Caesar salad and added chicken, and it looked nicely and attractively placed on the salad so I know that someone in the back is capable of plating well.. This was my first time dining at a noodle restaurant. I was astonished at the really nice variety of noodle dishes. It would be hard for someone to not be able to find one that made their mouth water. I opted for the Korean Steak noodles. Perfectly seasoned, heat and texture were spot on the cashier. Encouraged us to keep one of the hardcopy menus to take home, which we did and I enjoyed browsing the other options. I was especially surprised with the nearly Julian cucumbers on top of the dish. So many more options to explore. The snickerdoodle like cookies were tasty, but there's nothing like a homemade one.. for those who are fond of rice crispy treats there big wedges are a must order. A friendly employee who offered us menus and later took our order was pleasant and interactive. She did invite me to join the loyalty program, which I declined at the time and enrolled in later. Her pleasant demeanor seemed natural to her.. we will definitely be back. I merely would like the staff to understand that even if it is a kids meal, the aesthetics of how it is plated matters.. we eat with our eyes before we take an actual bite!

I don't know why the other locations don't offer this as an option. Im not sure when they changed their Italian Farm salad to the Italian Cobb Salad but its very similar and still delicious and refreshing. This has some zucchini, green olives, sun dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, salami of a couple sorts, different cheeses, pistachio mortadella, mixed greens and oregano vinaigrette. I always go for the Roasted Salmon as it's a perfect balance of colors and taste. There were mixed in cauliflower and a bit of broccolini. I would definitely love to have more broccolini though. I ordered this as part of the summer menu which it comes with a choice of their daily soup (which was a creamy chicken soup on a Saturday), Sicilian meatballs, Cacio e Pepe, Simple Salad or Charcuterie plate. I went with the charcuterie plate which had a array of foccicia bread, pitted green olives in an olive mix of rosemary or thyme theme taste, sweetened figs over a soft cheese spread, pecorino cheese I think, candied nuts, a jalapeño forward pickled veggies such as carrots, cauliflower, prosciutto, speck (another type of prosciutto). Other dishes were kids Alfredo pasta, Margherita pizza and the ricotta cavatelli which has lump crab meat and shrimp, mint and lemon olive. Our server was absolutely 100 percent as well as the rest of the staff. This place used to do valet but when we came for lunch there was no valet which I appreciated as the lot is just a regular private parking. This still has the same set up as it was 10 years ago or so with the barnyard type of structure and an open kitchen. Oh how I missed coming to this specific location. I'm ready to eat here again!

Which made me wanna go back a second! This time I was pretty disappointed with my food. For small plates my father and I ordered, the calamari and the garlic truffle. The calamari was for sure very different, and honestly it really wasn't that great. I get that they're trying to be different, but I like the calamari originally how it's made, which they made it with a different batter. I will say that the garlic bread was really good and honestly was the only thing I found really good. For my entrée, I ordered the lasagna. It should've been called the soup lasagna. It was so watery!!! And my father ordered the Bolognese. which needed way more time to cook. The noodles were hard! The entrées we're pretty bad, We didn't even take the leftovers home.
