The Scene – Tables are close together and surrounded by walls covered with soccer paraphernalia. The cooks sport ball caps as they flip pasta over open flames. Energetic servers are knowledgeable and helpful. The conversational buzz is quieter at the outdoor tables and traffic in the mall lot is unobtrusive toward evening. – – The Food – The smoked salmon a la Greca has the salty fish wrapped around eggplant and feta cheese with a heap of tasty spinach in the middle. The fabulous calamari crema floats in a creamy, white wine sauce balanced with lemon and spice. The…

Best Veal Saltimbocca in the Galaxy.
by READTHISREVIEW
Order the Calamari Crema Appetizer, Side salad with Creamy Italian (WOW), Veal Saltimbocca (Out of this world) If you dont like veal, get chicken or shrimp Saltimbocca but the Veal is phenominal. Then Tiramisu. You will have the best dinner ever. I Guarantee it. Don't deviate from this list. and you will have a 6 star experience.
- Pros: Salimbocca, Calamari Crema, Tiramisu, Wines
- Cons: Snotty Male Servers

Worst service in Tucson and surrounding areas
by imedic8
My first trip to this place onLa Cholla on Sunday AM. It took 15 minutes to get coffee; 25 minutes to get an omelet after ordering. Wait staff was inattentive and made excuses about the shortage of staff. Who cares? I am paying good money for minimally adequate food and lousy service. was never even offered more coffee. Will not go back.
- Pros: seat yourself
- Cons: noisy, too small, slow service

no longer impresses
by hea
Originally, the novelty was appealing. So many dishes; so relatively delicious. Eventually all dishes went up by $5 and the quality and quantity declined. Some sauces are now more routinely overdone, with some tomato sauces tasting grossly overcooked--little TLC. Fra diabolo and carbonara (two of my personal speicalties), for example, are excessively greasy. At their current prices they can no longer impress. I don't go there any more. Especially considering their skimpy aesthetics, one can get better ambiance, better flavor and lower prices at better venues.
- Pros: large variety
- Cons: not always tasty
