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 indoor plants add a natural touch to the environment. Staff is friendly and has an open view of the bar and kitchen. Also, please don't publicly embarrass yourself -- the side of the bar has extra plates, utensils and whatnot on the side as self-service lol. I'm just moderately blind My personal 10/10 favorite has to be the yada yada sandwich! But lil Jerry is also a top tier choice. The Torres black truffle chips has a strong flavor too! My partner and I absolutely loved it. ٩( )و

This time around, I tried the Maestro sandwich and the Little Jerry with a friend. Definitely prefer the Little Jerry's more cohesive bites of chicken and vodka sauce with the backend having pesto to pair. Wonderful taste and texture all throughout this sandwich. The Maestro was also great, but definitely gets a bit salty for me personally because of all the slices of assorted Italian cuts. Overall, a great sandwich spot (with more) to study at, bring friends to chat, or just enjoy a meal before checking out the Japanese Friendship Garden nearby!

After looking over the menu, we started off with Francesco's frittura to share. This dish tasted fine, nothing outstanding. For our main entrees we ordered the brown butter seared scallops with sweet corn risotto and the shrimp fradiavolo. Both of these entrees were outstanding in their own respect. The risotto was subtly sweet and not heavy or rich. Additionally, the scallops were nicely seasoned and not overcooked. The shrimp fradiavolo was mildly spicy and the spaghetti was perfectly al dente. Since we always have room for dessert, we ordered the tiramisu to share. It was nice and fluffy, and not too sweet, which we prefer. Overall, service was friendly, patient, and attentive. The ambiance was comfortable and intimate with lots of indoor seating and some outdoor patio seating. I highly recommend making reservations in advance if you plan on coming here. After our great experience, we will definitely be back to try out some of their other dishes!

What a cute gem in an unlikely location within downtown Phoenix. Near the baseball stadium and…read moreconvention center, this location popped up when we were looking for a Friday HH upon landing. Their happy hour concludes at six pm, but in true fashion our flight got delayed. Their hh menu is valid outside and in the bar seating area. We nonetheless pushed our resy back and arrived around 6:40pm. This restaurant has a very cute vibe and I loved the mural near the bar in traditional concrete. The decor and accent walls were all fun, and I really liked the main area. The staff was super attentive and the bartender serving us on Friday, August 28th was the best. Welcoming, informative, and kept it real with us. My partner and I landed on the pappardelle short rib pasta and toto sapore pizza. The pizza was one of my fave pizzas I've had in quite some time. The mixture of meats including sausage, soppressata, and salame parme was perfect with the right amount of spice. The pasta was al dente which was greatly appreciated and it was a lovely meal all around. This spot is worth checking out if you're in the area and wanting a great dinner in a calmer vibe (with some bomb music).

Had a reservation on a busy Friday night downtown (baseball game and a concert going on). We were contacted and asked if they could push our reservation back, when I said we couldn't they said no problem and that they'd accommodate us. And they did. No wait when we arrived slightly prior to our reservation time. Service was fine. Our waiter did mess up getting our order in-- but he fixed it and we didn't wait too long considering. He kind of disappeared at the end but another server kindly checked us out so we could go. Patio was really nice-- less noisy than inside and with the misters just fine even though it was hovering around 100 degrees. My husband said his NY strip was the best he's had in a while. And I enjoyed the Gnocchi (but would probably try the pizza next time). Was a little sad when I was asked if I'd like some Parmesan on my handmade with 00 flour pasta and was handed a shaker... (I mean even Olive Garden will put fresh cheese on their "Italian"food for you.) Enjoyed our experience overall and would eat here again.

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!

We waited for ~10 minutes while our table was set up. It was very busy even for a weekday and the noise levels were quite loud, I honestly could barely hear our own conversations. The waitress was very friendly and suggested plenty of options. All of us decided on getting the non alcoholic spritz. All were very good but I especially loved the hibiscus lavender spritz. We stated with the calamari and the whipped eggplant. Calamari had a unique dip but the star of the night was for sure the whipped eggplant. I have never had anything like it before... literally so obsessed. I got the truffle pasta and soppressata pizza as a main. Definitely is enough food for 2 I just wanted to try a bunch of different options. Truffle was kind of a miss for me. I wasn't a fan of the butter base for the pasta sauce. The pizza on the other hand was delicious! It came with an infused pizza oil to add some spice which was a nice touch. We finished off with the pistachio dessert. I couldn't get much pistachio flavor but it was DELICIOUS. Highly highly recommend if it is on the menu

We got the Buscatini Limone and the Milanese. The buscatini was my favorite. The beautiful lemon lightened up the heavy cream and was absolutely delightful. I didn't know that lemon and heavy cream sauce could be paired together in such a lovely minuet, but this would put Fred and Ginger out of business. There is a free parking garage on the west side of the restaurant. There's even a sign that states which restaurants allow you to park there. The restaurant is loud and the seats are a little uncomfortable. But if you're a foodie like me, you'll be willing to ignore those things. They also don't seat you until everyone in your party is present. The menu is very small and they state that they don't make substitutions or accommodations for those patrons that don't ingest dairy or gluten free. It had a great lively atmosphere, but this isn't romantic for date night. But don't let that stop you from coming to enjoy the food. I can't wait to come back. They are on break until 09/22, so plan on going after they're back.
