    Chicken marsala
    Patti B.

    We went to Twisted Italian on a very busy night and sat at the bar - we will go directly to the bar again! This Italian rustic atmosphere opened the senses for a taste experience. Phenomenal bartender, who gave exceptional recommendations. We shared with fried gnocchi and meatball appetizers. The cheese sauce was great with the bread service too. The seafood lasagna was SO unique with a tasty sauce, light noodles and shrimp in and on the lasagna. Chicken marsala was lightly fried with a mushroom sauce. Highly recommend for date night.

    Twisted Italian is an upscale casual Italian restaurant, they are known for traditional dishes with creative twists. Their food is delicious, friendly service, and a busy environment. I got the Fried Mozzarella (Hand Cut Breaded Mozzarella Strips, deep fried and served House Marinara. Uses Grande Cheese from Wisconsin for a superior melt) and the Chicken Parmesan (Hand breaded crispy 7oz chicken breast topped with Marinara, Bruschetta Mix (diced tomato, red onion, basil) and melted Mozzarella Cheese. Served over Angel Hair Pasta with Alfredo Sauce).

    The atmosphere was nice. The wait staff was fantastic. The food was delicious. We didn't have to wait Long. The chicken Parm was delicious. Chicken was juicy. I had the pepperoni pizza. It was fantastic. this restaurant is family friendly. Many options for beverages. I would definitely come again at my next visit to Arizona.

    Great little hidden spot! Service was good, fresh bread and plates of oil with seasonings. Lunch specials are a great deal and the food was so tasty. I ordered the Mediterranean pasta and the house salad which were both great portion sizes and tasty. It gets busy and fast after opening at 11 so either show up early or prepared to wait!

    Friday Special - Walleye in a creamy citrus sauce, angel hair pasta and al dente mixed vegetables

    I've been here a few times before and really enjoyed my food. Once I ordered the Piccata Fish Friday Special and I've been meaning to return and order again. I've been craving it. It's very crowded here on evenings so there's usually a wait. This is a small, intimate Italian eatery with a mini bar/bar seating area at the back, and table and booth seating in the main dining area. There's a restroom for customers. Last Thursday, we wanted to celebrate a final meal with extended visiting family during Spring Break. We arrived around 2:30 pm to beat the rush. We were seated immediately at a long booth table. Our waitress was such a doll. She was ultra friendly and accommodating and took good care of all of us. We had such a good meal together. Oil and balsamic vinegar is on the table for the complementary bread basket brought to the customers. We ordered: - FRIED RAVIOLI STARTER - Ricotta filled ravioli breaded and deep fried. Served with Marinara - ZUCCHINI STARTER - Parmesan cheese breaded zucchini chips. Deep fried and served with a spicy garlic cayenne dipping sauce. YUM!! My favorite. The dipping is amazing too. - BUFFALO CHICKEN FETTUCINE ALFREDO - House made Buffalo Alfredo Sauce with Fettuccine Pasta, Red Onions, and Sautéed Chicken. Topped with Gorgonzola cheese. My daughter loved this! - GNOCCHI TELEFONO - Potato Dumplings baked in a Tomato Cream Sauce topped with Mozzarella and Basil - SAUSAGE & PEPPERS SANDWICH LUNCH SPECIAL (Good, Spicy Sausage. Very tasty, large portion) - MEAT LOVERS 16" SPECIALTY PIZZA - Sausage, Salami, Pepperoni - EUROPEAN SEA BASS Pan Fried Parmesan Crusted Branzino seasoned with Rosemary, Garlic, lemon and a touch of compound butter. Served with Angel Hair Pasta with Capers and Grilled Veggies. My choice - loved this! Everything was good and fish cooked well. - MEATBALL SANDWICH Toasted French Bread stuffed with House Meatballs, Marinara, and Melted Mozzarella. Served with your choice of side (twisted House salad with ranch) Hubs enjoyed his sandwich 4/5 - CHICKEN PARM SANDWICH Hand Breaded crispy 7oz chicken breast topped with Marinara, bruschetta mix (diced tomato, diced red onion, basil), and melted mozzarella. Served on a toasted French Roll. My nephew ordered and loved this. I was wishing I'd ordered this. It was very large and looked delicious - FETTUCINE ALFREDO Homemade creamy garlic Alfredo with broccoli. Served on Fettuccini Pasta - LEMON BERRY CREAM MASCARPONE CAKE - TIRAMISU

    Been awhile since eating here, used to be the best lasagna, maybe you shouldn't pick it up, won't order there again, lots of options now in our area, very disappointed

    Excellent service food was good, cayenne shrimp was THE BOMB! Good Margaritas, very friendly crew and great atmosphere! It's not a 5 star restaurant but definitely worth trying

    Pizza Bianca, no chicken, no spinach, add the superior gorg & mush!!

The staff claimed they didn't receive it but door dash adamantly stated it was cancelled by the restaurant and they could see it on their end- I emailed about this and no response. Tonight we called ahead and asked how late they took to go orders And they told us 830. We called at 815 to place an order and they told us their kitchen was closed. Same person we spoke to 1 hour prior. We called ahead to make sure to plan our dinner time. I consider this poor service now that it's happened twice and I felt the first time we were lied to and it was never addressed. Food can be great but if customer service is bad, it makes the overall experience poor. Very disappointing - as we love the restaurant and we live right in this neighborhood and love supporting our local businesses.

We were also so grateful that they were able to put certain items of the dish on the side depended upon our preferences.

I'll be honest that I missed lunch today so I came to EAT and the strozzapreti was the perfect size for my big appetite. The only con I found was that my wine glass was actually a little dirty, and I am notoriously bad at telling wait staff about stuff like that because if it's not egregious then I prefer to just deal with it, but I'm sure they would have been happy to get me another glass.

    Funny enough, my sister & I were watching Nonnas & the first ten minutes made us want the pastries…read more So, we stopped to think where could we get a pastry? I remembered this place. It happened to be a little under twenty minutes away from us so we decided let's do it & they were open late. Hell yeah. There's not a crazy amount of pastries but the selection was great. We got two tiramisus, one vanilla custard lobster tail, some mini cannolis, & the wedding cookies. Everything came out to about $50 so beware, prices aren't exactly cheap. But for one, if you're going to do "bad" then do it right & we also shared with our family of 5 so plenty to go around. & Holy cow, everything was incredible. So indulgent, decadent & rich in flavor. My nephews liked the cannolis, personally they're not my favorite, but if you're into it the mini's are a great option to quench the craving. The lobster tail with the vanilla custard took me by surprise. I didn't think I was going to care for it, but the cold custard was refreshing & the flakiness of the bread was crazy, my taster buds were confused by the textures, but in the best way. They complemented each other well. My ultimate favorite was the tiramisu & the wedding cookies. I honestly wish I had gotten more of the wedding cookies, those things took me back. I grew up eating the Mexican ones & the Italians did it right *applause* But damn, the tiramisu was to die for. I would order that again & again. Perfectly chilled, the dusting of the cocoa powder didn't taste like nesquik--incredible. At first the price had me thinking if we were doing too much, like damn, should we have just gone to Sprouts bakery? But after being able to indulge in a great quality dessert, it was worth every dollar. My only feedback, careful when you're paying at the register. If you're not paying attention, the tip automatically defaults to 18% on the tablet. Only thing I didn't care for. I could see if I was eating at the restaurant, but I just popped in to take pastries to go. So, that was kind of annoying. The service was fine, the girl that helped me was nice, but again I just pointed at desserts I wanted & went home. The location is part of the main restaurant, but it has its own entrance & little room making it feel separate to the Sicilian Butcher. They also carry gelato which I haven't tried yet. I believe they have little tables to sit at also. Highly recommend checking this out so save room for dessert!

You got to pick your shell and filling for the cannoli. My MIL said their gelato tastes like it did when she traveled to Italy. All of the desserts looked AMAZING. We went there with my MIL for Christmas Eve dinner. My dish for dinner was ok but I should have got the lasagna as it was a smaller portion than what everyone else got.
