If anyone gives this local hangout anything less than a 5 star review, maybe hit up a food chain…read more The food chains are consistent with 2 star reviews. 2 stars are not an option with Transfer Station... Absolutely love this spot! Tucked away in the backyard of the tap house, this food truck is hands-down one of my favorite places to grab a bite. As regulars we are super stoked to have a consistent tasty food truck to enjoy! The food is consistently delicious--fresh, flavorful, and made with real care and LOVE! Every time I come here, I try something new and it never disappoints. Tonight was steak Friday! What a treat. The meat was melt in your mouth tasty and full of flavor. Happy Fri-yay!! The frites on the side were crispy, hot and flavorful! As a regular, I can honestly say the quality and service are always top-notch. The vibe of enjoying amazing food outdoors with a great craft beer in hand just can't be beat. It's the perfect combo of chill atmosphere and seriously good eats. If you haven't checked it out yet, you're missing out. This place is a gem in our Arizona desert! :)

Overall a great experience.. and there are many more items to try on the menu.. so we'll be back!

As for the pasta, we can still fix it by adding oat milk, cheese and a bit of water to cook it longer at home.

This Town & Country location is welcoming but run with precision; there's a seriousness to the operation that translates directly to the plate. Sitting at the bar, the focaccia sandwich (with anchovies added - not for everyone) lands exactly how you want it to--balanced, intentional, and deeply satisfying. Paired with a glass of Verdicchio, it becomes a simple but dialed-in experience. Side note, Verdicchio roughly translates to "greenish" in Italian, a nod to the grape's subtle green hue and fresh profile. It cuts through the anchovies' elusive fishiness with surgical precision. Service is efficient and no-nonsense, with clear attention to detail. There's an initial edge--the kind that comes with a place that knows its reputation--but it softens quickly if you meet it with patience. Come in grounded, and the interaction becomes far more human. It's not inexpensive, but that's part of the contract here. You're paying for consistency, craft, and a kitchen that takes itself seriously--and delivers.

This was our first time checking out this location after being regulars at the Old Town spot (so…read moresad it closed!). Happy to say this one totally lives up to it. The service was just as amazing, friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and the food was just as fresh and delicious. Prices are still super reasonable, which makes it an even better go-to. Our favorite is the Forno 301 pizza, always a must-order. We also loved the wine selection, and of course, you can't skip the limoncello to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for a delicious, affordable meal with great service!

An extra treat was that they have bottles of spicy oil on the tables, so I was able to enjoy the crusts by slathering them with the tasty oil as though they were breadsticks. On the way out, after mentioning to the bartender how good the oil was, I was gifted a couple of condiment cuplets to-go, which was a thoughtful and nice touch and sort of made up for the server who wasn't particularly warm or informative as I had to ask about the specials and whether or not all the pasta is freshly made, etc. Heck, if you have a great selling point like homemade pasta, talk it up and get us to drooling! There is a variety of seating available, including outside and at the bar--bar has an inside section as well as outside which is a nice design for the lovely weather days. However, it's unfortunate that the outdoor seating is on such a busy traffic corner, so it's not the little retreat it would otherwise be. The lunchtime music was more like happy hour music, not conducive to conversation--maybe for the cellphones-at-the -table crowd it's okay, but being near the Phoenix Art Museum and Arizona Opera, why not add to the cultural experience of the area by celebrating its Italian origins with some Italian music? Even if just added as interludes during every few pieces, it would enhance the ambiance. We had to raise our voices to carry on our conversation, but it was manageable. However, when I came back the next week with a friend with a hearing impairment, it became more problematic. She tried adjusting her hearing aids, but the thumping rhythm kept taking precedence as we tried to find a quieter corner, but it wasn't possible as it is a small space and speakers were close to each table. I felt so bad that she couldn't enjoy a meal there--we both were so looking forward to having a fresh pasta dish, but just couldn't stay. Upon leaving, I felt I should let management know why so I waited to speak to him, offering constructive criticism about the sound level but he was not the least apologetic nor said he would take it under advisement, but was completely dismissive and harrumphy as though we were annoying problems and not potential regulars with suggestions worthy of consideration. How hard would it be to have a quieter area or make a speaker accessible with volume control? People, whether on the spectrum, with hearing impairments, or just lovers of good conversation deserve respect and when it is not given, will go elsewhere....

A quaint and charming decor that told a story of old Italy. The service was quick and friendly. Our waitress was efficient and personable. You could tell she enjoyed her job. We indulged in a house Merlot that had a fantastic flavor. We tried the appetizer sampler platter that was just the right size for the two of us. Our entree's were prepared with great care and tasted of wonderfully fresh ingredients. The portion size was just right for us. We did not partake in any desserts, but the list looked just yummy. Just a great location in Old Town Avondale. We are looking forward to our return to try something new.

He made sure everything about my visit was perfect. I had the tortellini with chicken, and my sister had the chicken Genevieve and both dishes were delicious. For dessert, we tried the housemade tiramisu, and it was outstanding. It wasn't overly sweet, just the right balance to perfectly finish the meal. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town!

The atmosphere is perfect clean, quiet, and the little pond outside adds a nice touch. The garlic bread is a MUST. Soft, buttery, and packed with garlic exactly how it should be. The lobster ravioli is next level. You can actually see the lobster meat inside (no mystery filling like most places), and they top it with shrimp which takes it even further. The shrimp limoncello dish was also great big, fresh, flavorful shrimp cooked perfectly. Prices are reasonable for the quality you're getting, and overall it's easily one of the best Italian meals I've had. Definitely a go-to spot anytime I'm in the area.

The first thing that stands out is the massive, beautifully maintained outdoor seating area. It's covered, pet-friendly, and thoughtfully designed with fireplaces and privacy walls that give each table a more intimate feel. There's even an outdoor bar where you can grab a drink while you wait or just enjoy the atmosphere. Inside, the décor is incredibly creative. Butcher knives and custom cutting boards line the walls, and the open kitchen showcases hanging meats so you can see everything in action. The bakery area adds another layer of charm, with rolling pins and whisks hanging from the ceiling, it all feels intentional and immersive without being over the top. The menu is just as fun and different as the space itself. I started with the Sicilian wedge and then had to go for what they're known for, the handcrafted meatballs. You can mix and match meatballs with different pastas, but the real showstopper is the "meatball carousel." It lets you sample multiple meatballs with their recommended sauces, all presented on an elaborate Ferris wheel-style display that turns heads across the restaurant. It's a full experience, not just a meal. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. What truly made the night, though, was our server, Mia. She struck that perfect balance of fun and professional, engaging, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to interact with. She guided us through the menu, made great recommendations, and brought a level of energy that elevated the entire experience. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows. For dessert, we went with the traditional Sicilian cannoli stuffed with Nutella and a lemon tart that was so good I'd honestly consider flying back just to have it again. This place delivers on every level, atmosphere, creativity, food, and service. I'll absolutely be making this a regular stop anytime I'm in Phoenix.
