    Awesome service, location and style but disappointed with the food… I ordered a Burrata and it was spicy ! The mix with the apple and squash isn’t a great fit.. (missing seasoning as well). The white wine I took wasn’t really good (but that is all about taste) The calamari didn’t have anything special, and didn’t taste the best (more lemon would make it better). Last, was the mushroom truffle white pizza. It was a very thin dough (that was delicious) but the herbs wasn’t necessary and the toppings weren’t rich. Overall the place was fun, with very good service (you have a free Valet service) and EXTREMELY quick! Congrat on that! But the food needs improvement.

    North Italia in Phoenix is my absolute favorite restaurant. My husband and I return for date night because it's consistently good and where we want to spend our money. We've never had less than stellar service no matter which server we've gotten and have gone at anytime of day and gotten a table. Not to mention we love to do a long sit down 4 course meal on the regular including starter, entree, dessert, coffee etc and never once felt pressured to leave quickly. Highly recommend this location and can't wait for the tasting menu special rotating chef dinner special to return, it was always such a delight to share a special one off menu.

    Very delicious Italian food! I thought the service was good - we did end up having to sit outside even though there was plenty of open seating inside but it didn’t detract from the experience although it was a little toasty. Would recommend!

    Have never been disappointed here. The spot is always very clean, and fits in the Arcadia style of restraints very well. It is upscale and usually packed with people (make a reservation) if possible. The food is great and the happy hour is spot on. Great place for a quick date night or a family dinner!

    TERRIBLE FOOD. We got our food in less than 8mins. I ordered roasted chicken... Absolutely zero way they cook to order. It was terrible. Super Super dry. The view was nice though. About the only good thing there. Service was bad asked for our drink 3 times and never got it.

    Amazing food atmosphere and service! Great little place for delicious Italian. Appetizers, mains, including pasta, breads and dough made on site. Caesar salad was epic, and food was beautiful in it's presentation! Looking forward to another trip to visit!

    One of my top 10 best meal experiences in the USA. Began with a bottle of Pellegrino. The seasonal vegetable salad with salmon was exquisite! Finished with the tiramisu. Don’t miss this local gem.

    Pretty much my favorite Italian restaurant. Make fresh pasta the house. In a completely open kitchen, no walls. Had the Caesar salad, which was fantastic.. and the STROZZAPRETI: grilled chicken, roasted mushroom, spinach, toasted pine nut, parmesan cream. I felt it was kind of lacking in flavor... but I've eaten here a few times before, and had some very good dishes. Highly recommended

    Nice place with outdoor settings. The food was less than other places. In general, this place is pricey wrt the food portion that you get.

  • 5/5 Christian C. 3 years ago on Google
    Definitely a go to location. Great food and service and the ambience is casual yet hip, haha

  • 5/5 Bradley H. 4 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed a wonderful meal with family last night at North Italia. Had the fresh made pasta and meatballs. It was amazing! The meatballs and sauce were perfect. Others had the scallop entree and said it was great as well. Very nice wine selection and the service was great. It was busy and the parking lot is not huge, so the valet parking was much appreciated.

  • 4/5 Abigail Lee B. 4 years ago on Google
    Went here for lunch on a Saturday with my sister. It outside on the patio was nice as they had warmers and the fireplace going. Once in a while we would smell something odd/gross. Not sure if it was something from the street/nearby and if it's always there or just at that time. Hostess and waiter were super nice and friendly. The food was amazing. My sister got an omelet and I got a pasta dish. We liked both. The Zucca chips came recommended and said yummy on the menu - They were just average.

  • 5/5 Catalina C. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food tried the squid yummy had a simple salad which was anything but simple I'd say simply delicious. Great spacious atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Gloria S. 3 years ago on Google
    Loved North Italia, got the chicken parm, some form of shrimp alfredo, zucca chips, and chicken noodle soup. So delicious, highly recommend and service was great throughout our dining experience.

  • 5/5 Edgar S. 5 years ago on Google
    Love, love, love this place! The atmosphere is so inviting and the people are welcoming. Shame on me for forgetting the name of the gentleman who helped us but he was wonderful! Sold us on the food week promotion they were having and it sure was worth it. Appetizer, entree, and dessert with house wine for only $33. The biggest reason for visiting besides it being a lovely Italian spot was it being a Fox restaurant, meaning it was related to my old favorite, Little Cleo's Seafood Legend. I was reminded of it during dessert, where I'm almost certain they're using a similar recipe to one at Cleo's. Excellent spot! Will recommend! Thanks for the great experience!

    Atmosphere was very friendly, calm and enjoyable. Staff and waiter was attentive. Food was delicious. Enjoyed the experience and will be back.

  • 5/5 Jordan A. 4 years ago on Google
    Ohhhhh!!!! I can't say enough about this place so straight the point. This is absolutely a favorite great food and atmosphere. The energy tone I can't wait to go back for brunch .

  • 2/5 Bryant M. 3 years ago on Google
    We ordered through Door Dash. Ordered two cheese pizzas for the kids. One had a bunch of sauce but barely any cheese, while the other pizza had cheese but was undercooked. Our bread with the white truffle oil was cold and all the truffle oil was dumped on top of the bread, no real quality control. My squid ink pasta was cold and the shrimp was over cooked. Such a shame, as the sauce was very spicy and quite delicious. My wife's strozzapreti was quite good. Only got one drink instead of the two we ordered. Overall quite a disappointment for the price I paid. I hope dining in is superior to having it delivered.

  • 5/5 Kyle F. 3 years ago on Google
    A fav spot for delicious italian food. Everyone at our table was quite pleased. Had a sister come into town and asked me to take her here again. It has a nice atmosphere. I see why this place has a lot of great reviews.

  • 5/5 Stephanie L. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this place... I don't think there is another restaurant that makes me vocal when I eat their food like this place! Everything I've had here is so amazing. I always show people this place and recommend it to friends. I should get commission haha kidding

    NORTH ITALIA, THE HENRY, AND ALL THE REST OF SAM FOX'S ESTABLISHMENTS WERE SOLD SOME MONTHS AGO TO, OF ALL PLACES, THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY. MR. FOX CAME OUT AHEAD, WHILE LOYAL REGULARS HAVE NOTICED A DECIDED PLUNGE IN THE QUALITY OF BOTH FOOD AND SERVICE. FOODIES TALK..............AND LATELY, ALL THE TALKING HAS CENTERED AROUND SOME OF THE REMARKABLE PLACES WE'VE FOUND TO FILL THE VOID CREATED BY A SINGLE BUSINESS DEAL.

  • 5/5 L T. 3 years ago on Google
    We stumbled onto this place! We had a great server and his recommendations were delicious. Barrata, bottle of wine, Short Rib Radiatori, Strozzapreti! Finished within the Salted Caramel Budino and Affogato!!!! So good!!

  • 5/5 Amy K. 3 years ago on Google
    The pasta dishes are amazing! Husband loves his steak here too!. Bartenders and staff are awesome ??

  • 3/5 Cordelia H. 3 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere was pretty but the food and drinks did not seem worth the price. Meat and cheese board was lacking a lot.

  • 5/5 Christina S. 3 years ago on Google
    Friendly and relaxing place with the best short rib radiatori.

  • 5/5 Kiana A. 3 years ago on Google
    This food took me away, for starters the aesthetic of the restaurant was joyful and I love seeing an open kitchen. The appetizer “White truffle garlic bread” was too die for, I wanted to order another round but I knew there was more food to come. I ordered the chicken parmesan and it was astounding. It was served with parmesan rigatoni, something I’ve never been served with the classic chicken parmesan and I was not disappointed. Having the parmesan rigatoni brought out the tomato flavor from the crushed tomatoes on the chicken. Perfect amount of cheese and great crisp on the chicken. All in all delightful flavor,I loved this place and I will definitely visit Arizona again to come to this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Mae H. 3 years ago on Google
    Highly Recommended! The foods and the drinks were very good in this restaurant. Also, the waiters and waitresses were doing great when serving customers. The place was clean, comfortable, and cozy. The prices here were very affordable and reasonable. Till next time! Thank you, guys!

  • 5/5 Sharna P. 3 years ago on Google
    Yesterday, we went to this Mexican restaurant, and it was fascinating on my behalf. They got plenty of delicious foods and beverages. It was my first time tasting their cuisine, yet it was never a doubt that I happened to taste everything they served in my table. I was astonished by the smiling faces of their waiter and waitress. Perhaps, I would recommend this prestigious restaurant to my friends and workmates. My hands up with their excellence and decency.

  • 5/5 Mike W. 3 years ago on Google
    I went on a date with a lady friend here. She has tummy issues that make it hard to eat out, but we found an amazing salmon pesto plate, I loved it. She loved the salmon but i was unaware she couldnt eat pesto.... The waitress noticed, and was more than accomadating. My date was sad to lose the remainder of the fish, but happy to be replaced by a dish she could enjoy as a whole, instead of a third of. This waitresses kindness towards my date, the romantic atmosphere, and delicious food. 5 stars. The kitchen is right there, visible. And visibly clean. So as a minor germaphob, seeing this, at a time like these, was refreshing. Great food. Great service. Highly recommended. Thank you guys.

  • 2/5 Tyler 3 years ago on Google
    Good service; great atmosphere; lack of quality control in kitchen, especially for price. Most items came overcooked, including the bread to start the meal. Year later edit: completely over priced for quality of food

    Excellent Italian seafood! Went here on a busy Fri night and waited 2 hours for a table at the bar across the street....when we got in and got our food it was very hot and delicious . Had the Ciopino , it was perfect. Also had the crab pasta it was great also. It's very loud and busy.....people where singing along to the music while the cooks blazed away making the delicious dishes in the view of the patrons......great food and fun!

  • 5/5 Em C. 3 years ago on Google
    I had my food delivered. Pasta and the tiramisu were great. The zucchini chips were thin, but they were a bit too greasy. Not bad though overall. I enjoyed my meal!

  • 5/5 Hiram B. 3 years ago on Google
    Want to know a secret? Our favorite place to go for dinner on a nice evening is to make a reservation at North Italia and then to sit out on the patio. If it is cool, then they have wonderful heaters to keep you warm. The staff is consistently friendly and helpful. We order some wine and yucca chips and enjoy conversation and just winding down from the day. Their steaks are wonderful, although this last time I had the baked sea bass on a bed of broccolini and my friend had seared sea scallops. Both were cooked to perfection and I have paid twice as much at other nice restaurants for the same meal. Well, I guess our little secret is out, but this place is just too good to not share with others. Buon appetito!

  • 5/5 Greg H. 3 years ago on Google
    We love North Italia! It's one of our "go to"" places for special events. Great Food, Great Service, Fantastic Ambiance.

  • 5/5 Corey S. 3 years ago on Google
    North is a great restaurant to enjoy a delicious, nice, and peaceful dinner because they have a great environment. It’s a modern take on classic Italian. With incredibly nice servers. For instance this one time I was at north a while ago, and this super duper nice waiter came over, and took our order. When he took our order he asked many questions about our day. Then he brought us some zucca chips (fried zucchini with salt,) (They taste delicious.) I had never liked zucchini until I had tried them, zucca chips. How great is it to get your vegetable in a chip? If you plan to go to North this is a great option for an appetizer.

  • 5/5 Night S. 3 years ago on Google
    I stopped in to buy a gift certificate for someone and thought I would have a light lunch. There was a good crowd for a late afternoon lunch. Most people were on the patio. I sat at the bar and service was great. Burata di stagione was a roasted Fuji apple chunks with butternut squash chunks and I think it was a fig glaze on it. There were nuts on it as well. It was delicious. no matter what entree you get this would be perfect to order and have two people nibble on while waiting for your entree. I also ordered the pizza with fig and prosciutto. It had a nice sweet taste to it you could tell it was cooked in a fire or brick oven. The outer dough was slightly crunchy the inside was nice and soft. Definitely had a fresh taste to it.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth T. 3 years ago on Google
    This is the type of Italian place that gives you a large portion and every bite is perfectly sized for pasta to sauce ratio. Took my friends here for their birthday, and we are defiantly coming back for happy hour. Also, they make a really good Amaretto Sour! 💯🔥🙌🏻

  • 5/5 Jadon H. 3 years ago on Google
    I used to love this pizza restaurant because the foods, drinks, staff, and place were magnificent and wonderful. While waiting for my order, I roamed around the place and find it beautiful and clean. Besides, the waiter that served my delicious pizza and drinks was friendly, informative, and helpful. Overall, this restaurant was the best place to visit. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Keith W. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is insane! Everything we had was outstanding and the service was top notch. The inside is beautiful and open and they did a great job of spacing people out.

  • 5/5 Robert C. 3 years ago on Google
    When spaghetti and meatballs costs $18, it better be really good. It's so good, the price seems like a bargain. This is going to be a problem.

  • 5/5 Laura G. 3 years ago on Google
    Pleasantly surprised. The pizza was great. I also really enjoyed the white truffle garlic bread stuff. The spaghetti was just okay. And the meatballs were huge and also okay, but I'm not a big meat eater. Will definitely order again.

  • 5/5 Liz H. 3 years ago on Google
    We came upon this place by accident, but what a terrific accident it was! The food was absolutely delicious. The watestaff was friendly and professional. I highly recommend the restaurant.

  • 5/5 Michelle V. 3 years ago on Google
    I have yet 2 try their food but it always smells super yummy when I pick up food 4 delivery. Pizza Margherita aroma smells especially appetizing & looking 4ward 2 trying it first. Employees are always pleasant to me as well as super helpful. They are usually "hoppin" which tells me good things are going on there.

    Not my favorite too corporate.

  • 5/5 Amanda J. 3 years ago on Google
    What a hidden gem. The parking lot is small and tight so they have complimentary valet parking. The service is impeccable. Every item on the menu is delicious but the following dishes are noteworthy: Grilled bread w/ olive oil and balsamic Shrimp Scampi Any pizza Strozzapreti Grilled beef tenderloin Italian butter cake Bombolini Tiramisu Cappuccino Rosemary & lime Quiet Italian gentleman Seasonal soup - butternut squash - if they have this you should absolutely get it, all the soups are delicious though. We somehow manage to eat here once a week. It is high quality, perfectly prepared affordable food. The atmosphere is classy and friendly. They have seasoned bartenders here. You will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Heidi Kelly J. 3 years ago on Google
    I have nothing bad to say. Our server was friendly and very attentive. My glass never went empty. The ambiance was romantic and quiet even for NYE. Food was fabulous, fresh and well seasoned. Price was reasonable for what you got during the multi-course new years menu!

    Great place. Food was excellent.

  • 5/5 Saif A. 3 years ago on Google
    A bit crowded inside but plenty of heated patio space outside. We got sat near the fireplace and were treated gratefully by the staff. You could see their smiles through their masks. The soup was warm, the food tasted fresh and the pizza of the day went down with ease. It may be a bit pricey but you're also in Arcadia and with that comes a $13 cocktail. However, any delays in service or the slightest whisper of your displeasure is compensated quickly to ensure your experience is 5 stars.

    Not only is the food here excellent, but the service is outstanding. Shane the manager went truly above and beyond to get me my correct order when the DoorDash delivery driver couldn’t be bothered to. As to the menu recs, everything I had was great — but I gotta say the pasta bolognese really hit the spot. Great place all around.

    Best kale salad in town. The zucca chips are a must. Staff friendly. Sometimes very busy even with covid limitations... recommend going outside "trad" hrs

  • 1/5 Lauren 3 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately we had a very bad experience here. We came on a timeframe and told Paul B that we had to leave at a certain time. Ordered as soon as we sat down. I had to wait more then 10-15 minutes before reminding him my wine hadn’t arrived. Then, more then 30 minutes after we ordered my soup came out. Then we had to have them box up our salads to go and when we went to eat them....the chicken wasn’t on one of the salads. Oh...and I had to kill the mosquito that was biting me on my leg. Not impressed for a Sunday afternoon lunch

  • 5/5 Michelle G. 2 years ago on Google
    Likely my favorite, casual-upscale Fox-Concepts' Eatery in the Phoenix area. The service is second-to-none, the atmosphere is always fresh and upbeat, and the food is always impeccable. Today I ordered the Strozzapreti...a creamy garlic sauce with mushrooms, and pine nuts and spinach and chicken-done-to-Pefection... rich and flavorful and completely satisfying. A must try. Today's lunch partner ordered the Seasonal Veggie Salad with perfect, young, seasonal mixed greens, blanched asparagus sprigs, chopped avocado, and a green-goodess inspired dressing. YUM. When you go....Zucca Chips are a MUST to start, as is their Bombolini for dessert! Enjoy🍴

  • 4/5 Becky K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and service. Food profile and taste was unique and complimentary. Diver Scallops, Zuch chips, Parmesan vinaigrette simple salad, bollinis & Italian butter cake were super yummy. Open kitchen was great to watch. It is a little noisy with vaulted ceilings is why 1 less star. Farro with the salmon dish was not a hit with my husband.

  • 4/5 Luis Dario Davila M. 2 years ago on Google
    The wait was short, the ambience was good, and food overall was really good. Pizza got a bit burned you can actually see it in the picture, and my ink calamari dish had poor presentation. That’s the only not positive comment I have! Everything else was spotless. Recommendations to get: - The burrata with sweet potato is unbelievable amazing. - The kale salad is also really good - The ink calamari is the lowest in calories of all the fresh pastas and it was really amazing. We had a bottle of wine and we were 7 in our party and the final ticket was $187, to an average of 27 usd.

  • 5/5 Tawny M. 2 years ago on Google
    Been to the Kierland location multiple times so I thought I'd try this location since I was nearby. It was good. About as expected. They were very busy and kind of short staffed for a Sunday. Kind of weird that the only parking available is valet but it is complimentary. We got the Braised Short Rib with veggie noodles and the Squid Ink Pasta. There were several people outside with their dogs so it was neat to see that this location is pup friendly.

    Amazing food and great service. Multiple locating around the valley. Definitely a "go to" for a nice dinner that you don't have to break the bank to eat at.

  • 5/5 Allan S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of our favorite restaurants in Phoenix. On a cool winter evening, ask to sit outside next to the fireplace. It is beautiful and cozy. New menu items on both the drink and dinner menus are delicious, and the staff are consistently friendly.

  • 4/5 Remy C. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is great, hand made pastas and fresh salads. I love burratta and theirs did not disappoint one bit. Drinks are reasonably priced and refreshing as well. The only reason one star is missing is due to a slow service however I could tell they were understaffed so I will definitely be back in the future to hopefully add that 5th star in once they are fully staffed!

  • 5/5 April 1 year ago on Google
    We came to celebrate our friends birthday and this was perfect. I got the squid ink shrimp pasta, it was so delicious. It’s long curly squid ink pasta tossed in a velvet red pasta sauce with shrimp and squid rings on top. We shared the truffle bread for appetizer, it was FANTASTIC! We also ordered a few other dishes to share which was mushroom pasta, braised short rib pasta and scallops with risotto. Everything we got was so yummy and great quality. We got a dessert platter and was absolutely decadent and creamy

  • 5/5 Damaris Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good choice for restaurant week. Excellent variety of wines. I'm no wine drinker but being able to sample whatever I wanted was very nice. I enjoyed my salmon very much, asked for it a bit on the rarer side and instead it came extra crispy instead, that part was disappointing but it was still so delicious. I'd go there again.

  • 4/5 Isaac R. 1 year ago on Google
    On a date with my wife we decided to stop by this place, we tried a few pizzas and pasta and the meatballs served on the casserole is a MUST try. Overall the tiramisu is good but in mu opinion the chocolate topping doesn't go well.

  • 5/5 Amit S. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff was very nice, food was great, good drink choices. Even though they were really busy they accommodated our arrival delay. Good to see restaurant this busy middle of the week. Very energetic, busy and loud, so not ideal for quiet dinner if that is what you want. We had a birthday celebration so they got desert with candle and also took it off the bill. Vallet experience is very convenient.

    Took a few months to review this restaurant but wanted to review anyway as they were exceptional. The atmosphere here was friendly & welcoming & they offered valet parking at the door. Our server Candyce was excellent, friendly, efficient & knew the menu well. Our order was delicious & delivered without much wait. Servings were plentiful & we took some home for the next day. Drinks from the bar were great. We'll definitely be back.

    We were the first ones in and had no clue what to expect, but I wasn't expecting the place to be so cute and beautiful. Im just going to say I wish my wife would have let me walk around to take more pictures. Beyond the atmosphere, the food was fantastic. I've been to Italy several times and gotta reluctantly say this was the best Italian food I've ever had! 😋 Our server was super polite and nice when I butchered, saying one of the menu items hahaha.

    Went for dinner and there was a small wait. Staff was super nice and food was just incredible. We have been here multiple times and everything has been amazing. I would highly recommend Butternut squash Anolini. It tastes amazing and was server recommendations as well. I loved Spicy rigatoni vodka as well.

    I’ve been here for dinner and it’s great but the brunch might be one of the best brunches available in the area! I highly recommend it. I got the pancetta hash but everyone I went with was extremely happy with their dish as well.

    Worst experience of all. Valets and server, Brenna, were the best. Went in Friday around 4. Many open tables. Hostess and kitchen awful. The blonde at the hostess stand was horrid, flipped attitude at my daughter, did not smile, so a bad vibe immediately upon entering. Food was equivalent to counter service like Cafe Zuppas and I was overcharged. Drinks were good and pretty. Save your money. I've been here several times over the years now will NEVER return. NOT kid friendly, not wheelchair accessible.

    My first trip to North Italia was great and definitely a place I will be returning to. The Braised Short Rib Lumache was the first dish I tried. The short rib was cooked perfectly and basically melted in my mouth. The sauce on this dish had a slightly bitter taste that complimented the savory short rib perfectly. The spicy rigatoni vodka was also amazing, and definitely my favorite dish. The pancetta was crispy and held a lot of flavor, and the sauce had a kick to it but didn't overpower the tomato paste/cream flavor.

    Very nice atmosphere inside and patio has privacy,fireplace, and misters when it's hot outside. We only had drinks and sandwiches but the eat ball sandwich was really, really good, salads were also very good, other food we saw coming out of the kitchen made me want to come back to try more items. This establishment deserves 5 stars. !!! Good find..

    Delicious brunch! We ordered 6 different items and all were excellent. It was a toss up on best dessert item between the banana coffee cake and the cannoli French toast. Both had amazing flavor! The patio has nice greenery and misters so we were comfortable outside at 96 degrees. We'll be back more often!

    I enjoyed my experience here! "Free" parking by valet by tipping. I came on a Saturday night and was seated immediately. Waiter was friendly and I had other staff stop by my table to ensure a great experience. Low lighting created a nice ambiance and the food was tasty! The spacing of the tables gives you the option to make your dinner intimate with a date or social with a group of friends. I will say though that considering this place was not fine dining, I spent more $$$ than I intended for a table of one! Overall, I recommend this place for a nice dinner!

    My wife and I visited here twice while on our trip. We came on our anniversary night and a few nights later. The first time the service was meh, our server walked past us multiple times when we tried to get her attention. My wife got the strozzapreti and I had the spicy rigatoni vodka. Both were delicious. They complemented each other too, one creamy and one spicy. We both took bites of each others between eating our own. The second time we came we sat outside, it was a beautiful patio. Even with the jungle of birds that wouldn’t shut up it was a nice evening and made us feel like we’re at the rainforest cafe 😂 this time around she had the anolini which was delicious but a little over salted. I had the funghi pizza, it was delicious but the middle of the pizza could’ve used more time cooking as it was soggy compared to the outer crust. 🤷🏼‍♂️ We both love good Italian food and slightly regret not count here in our last night since the sushi place we went to was mediocre at best and a drive here would have been worth it 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Had the Braised Short Rib Lumache. It was very good, however I must admit that small bowl probably isn't worth $26 whether in terms of portion or flavor. Again it tasted great, but it was like a few pieces of shredded beef on a decent serving of pasta with a few pieces of Arugula. Also, your nutritional info states that bowl was apparently around 1790 calories, so I expected some large Cheesecake Factory-like size but found it hard to believe that bowl contained that many calories, even assuming an entire cup's worth of cheese fondue sauce was in there, something like 2 servings worth of Lumache, a full sized braised short rib instead of the few pieces I got, etc. Eyeballing and overestimating it would still only get to around 1200 cal at most. My weight dropped a few pounds the following day, so I think it might be worth revising some of the caloric measurements on the menu. Good tasting food but for $26 I cant help think of other gourmet gems I've been to that hold its weight in price better whether in portion, flavor/technique, or both, such as Tempo Urban Bistro in Buckeye. Will still certainly be back to try other dishes, and the dinner menu at some point.
