Every sandwich, pizza, and entree worth every penny. The staff are all awesome and friendly but there are few of them. So here is the only caveat, don't be in a hurry. Service is not fast. They will get to you when they get to you. It is a small crowded market. It's not fancy or romantic, it's not meant to be. Sit, wait, talk to strangers and eat. You'll be fine. I love it here.

Went back to Aqua Di Mare tonight just in time for the soft opening of their expanded site. They…read moretook over the store next door and doubled their size. The floor space in the original side is greatly improved by the repositioning of the bar to the adjacent expansion. The new bar has a full length salt water aquarium with a few fish to start. A salt water aquarium is a major undertaking that must be done gradually to succeed but this looks like an amazing start. The food continues to be delicious with the addition of multiple items in almost every course. We started with the Burrata, Prosciutto and Bruschetta. Each component was delicious. For the main course, I had the Chicken Milanese which is served at the table with the sauce and cheese being slid onto the crispy breaded Chicken cutlet and a side of spaghetti. My wife had the perfectly cooked Chilean Sea Bass and the perfect accompanying glass of wine suggested by the owner, Nikola. My son-in-law had a new dish, the beef wellington. It was also exactly as he likes it, medium rare and super tender. For desert, we had the canoli. The service was excellent yet not intrusive. Best wishes on the new expansion Nikola. With food like this, you should have no trouble filling the space.

This restaurant is known for their massive cheese wheel pasta that's made right in front of you and…read morewe were so excited for what we thought was going to be the yummiest pasta, butttt things quickly took a turn when our pasta came out cold with hard noodles. The prices are also definitely on the higher end across the menu. I don't think I've ever seen a Beef Wellington priced at $94 and the Cacio E Pepe was $42 with no protein! The table side cooking presentations were also extremely underwhelming and they leave them out and cover the cheese wheel with a towel which definitely ruins the anticipation. The service was also disappointing. Our waiter was new but kept using that as an excuse to everything that went wrong and they forgot every single thing we requested (butter for the bread, chili flakes for the pasta) & we had to ask others for it. We also made reservations online and it wasn't stated that we'd be sitting outside and patio dining isn't my preference in AZ in September.

The staff was wonderful from beginning to end, and we especially want to recognize Katia. She was incredible throughout the planning process, helped relieve so much of our stress, and made sure everything came together flawlessly. She did an amazing job decorating, and everything was even more beautiful than we imagined. The food was absolutely delicious! We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing everything tasted, which is something people are still talking about. Staff even accommodated our son (who is 4) and made a small kids burger with fries. We are so grateful to the entire Hidden House team for making our wedding day so special and memorable. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue with an incredible staff, beautiful décor, and amazing food, we wholeheartedly recommend Hidden House. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams! We will be back every year to celebrate

We had reservations and when we first walked in we…read morenoticed how warm it was...hostess said their air wasn't working but it was working fine in the back dining area and she was right...much cooler! We love this little gem! There are two wonderful outdoor patios, obviously not for summer seating but during our nice weather, beautiful! Wife had a Blue Hawaiian and said it was flavorful and perfect except a bit less ice would make it better. We decided to share a meal tonight so started with their Loaded House Salad, which they split for us. We loved this salad! Their tarragon ranch dressing was perfect with the mixed greens, the grape tomatoes, pepitas, and bacon crumbles...such a good salad! We shared their popular short ribs (they charged $2 for plate share) which were cooked to tender perfection and served over a creamy white bean puree. Delicious for sure! We finished with some of their Black Forest Cake which was the bomb! Tender, moist chocolate cake rounds with the best tasting whip that has vanilla bean in it and then some great cherry jam to set it all off. What a great meal!

Instead, we were offered a table in the back outside while everyone else was seated inside. As a Black family, the experience left us feeling unwelcome. I can't say why we were treated this way, but the interaction was extremely disappointing, we chose to dine elsewhere. Update: After my original review, the restaurant reached out to apologize for our experience. We decided to give them another chance, and I'm glad we did. Our return visit was completely different. The service was excellent, and we had the pleasure of meeting the Ashley Cook, General Manager and the owner. They made us feel genuinely welcome. I appreciate that they took our feedback seriously and worked to make things right. Our server Tyler was exceptional.

It has been nine years since my last update and with them celebrating their 10th Anniversary, why not write a new review? The Brickyard Downtown still features the original exposed brick walls, concrete floors, and tin tile ceilings that date back over a century. Talk about sitting in history. This place has tasty food and amazing sips. My friend and I recently popped in here for Ladies Night. We only had sips this time around as our other friend wanted to meet up for cocktails too but I couldn't change our reservations so we had to leave shortly after. I had their Hera (Bayab Rose | Elicser | Grapefruit | Lime | Orgeat | Egg White | Rose Water), $17: It was a delightfully balanced drink with a perfect egg white froth on top. Great sips. Coming back, I was reminded why the first time coming here left me with a great impression. It's still a cozy spot though so I wouldn't recommend coming here with a large party.

Located in the heart of Downtown Chandler is Crust Simply Italian. Due to location, parking can be…read morea challenge but thankfully a July Saturday around 12:30pm didn't prove to be that large of a challenge to locate. When we entered, we were advised to be seated wherever we liked with menus on a table to grab. Our server was over pretty quickly, and appreciated him offering an appetizer and entree suggestion. What We Ordered: - Cucumber Elderflower Spritz: I've been on a spritz kick since having one at the beginning of the year at Disney World. The perfect refreshing drink for a humid day after rain in July (2" in Apache Junction). Loved the cucumber and elderflower combination, and would definitely order again! - Shrimp Medina: The server recommended, and our favorite of the meal. The scampi butter with the heat of the red chili flakes was perfect. I'd honestly look to see if there is a pasta dish like this next time as that sounds like perfection. - La La Vodka: My friend ordered this, and said it was pretty good. She remarked how large it was and wish for a lunch portion that you could order half, but thankfully, we were heading back to her house after to be able to drop off leftovers. - Pasta Picante: This was recommended, but I wasn't all that fond of it. It was not really spicy, and I didn't like the sausage in the dish. It could have just been my preferences, but my friend ended up taking as leftovers her kids would enjoy. Overall, this place had both comfortable seating and comfort food. Italian is one of my favorite things to dine, and get that dopamine fix from pasta. I'll definitely return and explore another entree more suited to my preferences.

Waiter took our orders and food came in on timely manner. Happy hour menu is not the greatest & has some limited options, cocktails & wine glasses will still ring you $10 instead of the normal $12+ so not crazy savings. Onto the food: Our calamari was great The bread rolls had so much oil on them the last roll was almost inedible. You would squeeze it and oil/butter would ooze out like crazy. Our pizza was good but the crust was very toasty, it would snap in half if we tried to bend it just a little to take a bite, maybe it was a one off for the crust being a bit burnt but just keep that in mind. Our limoncello drinks were definitely the star of the night; refreshing, light and not too sweet!

The decor was nice, service was prompt. Our server was attentive and always refilled waters when they were low. Sometimes parking out front can be a little hard but there's more parking in the back.

My absolute favorite is their fresh Antipasto Salad and warm Ciabatta bread. I highly recommend ordering a side of their scampi butter for the bread. Yum! This visit, I had the Baked RigaTony, and my daughter ordered the Deep Dish Lasagna with marinara sauce. Both dishes were excellent--hot, flavorful, and generously portioned. They also have great weekday lunch specials. The Chicken Cutlet Picatta is another favorite of mine. Great food, friendly service, and a restaurant that's been a longtime favorite of mine.

We had bacon dates to start. These were tasty but not quite like we imagined. They were sweet and salty which was great. The blue cheese stuffing didn't quite jump out like we expected. For wine, my wife likes sweet wine. She tried the Riesling first, then the Moscato. Moscato was hands down her winner, it was sweeter. For me, I tried the Murphy Goode red blend and I enjoyed it a lot. Good balance, complexity, and smoothness. For the main course my wife had the Pasta Bolognese. It came with rigatoni noodles. The sauce was nice and thick and coated the noodles really well. It had a big robust flavor but wasn't overpowering. I had the Chicken Saltimbocca. The sauce was a bit on the sweet side for my preference due to what tasted like a bit of balsamic, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was well cooked and tender. We tried a cannoli for dessert. The thing was huge! Shell was thick and crunchy. Filling was moderately sweet with a subtle brightness to it (like a touch of lemon). Ends were dipped in chopped pistachio.
