It can get pretty busy, so be sure to plan accordingly. I also stopped by the bakery section and had the pleasure of meeting Siya. She was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about all the bakery items. Thank you again for the cannoli, it was absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be back.

It must be the same interior designer because even though the restaurants are so different, they have a similar feel, and I like it! The enormous wine bottle light fixtures are pretty cool. We ordered the Saganaki to start, which is delish. I love the flavor of the lemon they use to put out the fire. Can you ever go wrong with delicious melted cheese? Hubby ordered rigatoni with Bolognese and steak meatballs. I didn't taste it, but he really liked it. My son ordered Caccio e Pepe pappardelle. I tasted it and it was very yummy. I had the meatball ferris wheel which is literally a little ferris wheel with little bowls with a different kind of meatball in each. The Ferris wheel ended up just making it harder to eat, but I do think the novelty of it is cute. That said, I was super disappointed. I liked the steak meatball pretty well and the arabbiata was yummy, but the rest were mediocre for me. I love meatballs but, honestly, I've had meatballs that I like better elsewhere. My bread was also over-toasted, making it kind of like a hard crumbly rock. Our server was very nice and quite friendly, but both my husband and I noticed that she actually boxed the food at the two tables near us for those people, but for us, just just dropped off boxes and a bag at our table and left us to do it ourselves. I don't mind doing it myself, but what made us different from the other tables? All in all it was good. The pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked and sooo good and the Saganaki was also delish. The meatballs, not so much for me.

    Came for dinner on Saturday at 6pm. We called the restaurant a few days ahead to make a reservation…read moreas they do not have an online reservation option. Showed up and the restaurant was relatively busy with only a few open tables inside. The restaurant has a fish tank with some large fish which was cool. We were immediately greeted to get drink orders. We ended up ordering the 10 inch Tuscan pizza (it came cut into 6 slices). We also ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca. After about 15-20 minutes both dishes arrived. The Chicken Saltimbocca was outstanding. The flavor was delicious. Would highly recommend. The Tuscan pizza was also great. We were worried it might be dry but did not have a problem. Overall, the meal was wonderful and we will definitely come back to try more. Our server was kind and efficient and overall it was an awesome meal.

    I have to commend the operators and the staff at Pestos for a great experience this past Saturday…read more We arrived for our 6:30 reservation to find that the whole area was without power. We thought we would have to go somewhere else. Instead we were treated to a very nice "candlelit" experience that was still up to the very high standard that we had come to expect from Pestos. The food was delicious, the service was excellent. We all had a great time. Bravo to you and your staff for overcoming a difficult situation and making it great.

    My friend wanted something in between our houses as she recently moved to Maricopa while I'm in the…read morefar east valley, and she wanted pasta specifically. I searched my Yelp bookmarks and remembered a few fellow Yelpers wrote great reviews about this location. I love that you can do a reservation through Yelp, though it was slower on a Sunday evening around 5:30pm so the reservation wasn't needed. She arrived before me, so I asked the hostess to direct me where she was at. The interior seems to be divided in sections, and we were seated in a dining room area with table clothes and more nicer Italian restaurant vibes versus martini/wine bar. What we ordered: - Bruschetta "Va Bene" ($9.95): great flavor, and impressed the price point is under $10! - Linguine Al Pesto ($19.95): my friend ordered, and remarked how delicious the sauce was. - Risotto Mare Monte ($28.95): the texture of the risotto was great, and I enjoyed the flavor. A very good risotto comparative to others in the valley I've tried. - Crème Brûlée ($8.95): not my favorite, but also not the worst. A pretty solid crème brûlée and next time, I'd try the tiramisu (dined with my pregnant friend who's avoiding caffeine). I had my heart set on a vodka martini, but they were out of blue cheese stuffed olives which was a bummer. It was one of the deciding factors why I chose this place. Other than that, it was a great dinner and I'd return in hopes of having a martini and exploring more of the menu.

    An excellent dining experience!…read more The food was delicious, from the appetizers to the salad/soup to the entrees; the quality was a pleasant surprise. Especially the Chicken Parm and Shrimp/Scallion Linguine, the chicken and seafood were cooked to perfection, and the seasoning paired quite nicely. Colton, our waiter, was professional, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, in addition to being accommodating to our 1-year-old daughter (who also deserves a five-star rating for being such a good girl). The building, from the exterior, with its upper level covered in plant life, to the quite Italian interior, made for an appropriate dining atmosphere. With the back of house providing excellent food and Colton providing excellent service, our evening was elevated. Thank you for the meal Carrabba's!

    I had not been to Carrabba's in years. I felt like eating soup and remembered how good their…read morechicken soup was so I called to place an order. Upon calling, I spoke with a male employee. He told me when it would be ready and that was it. When I asked if I should come inside to pick up the order, his response was, "Yep". When I got home, I spoke with the store manager about the employees response of "Yep". When I asked if he thought this was an appropriate response, the manager said "Yep", that is how he would have responded but that he would have added a little more to it. That was the end of the conversation. When I arrived home and poured the soup in a bowl, I saw 2 very, very small pieces of chicken!! That was it. I only live maybe 6 minutes from the restaurant and the soup was lukewarm. I also ordered meatballs. They were cold!! I recommended this restaurant to a friend. I am so very relieved that she did not go. I will NEVER go back and I will NEVER recommend this restaurant!! Rude staff and rude manager. Quality of food is VERY POOR!!

My husband had an Old Fashion and I had a Raspberry Margarita. The margarita was frozen and so good. I am gonna be drinking that all summer!!! It was reminiscent of ZTejas Chambord margaritas. If you know...you know. For food, I ordered the seafood ravioli special. It was so good with lots of extra lobster on top. I was full at the end of the night and the flavors were so amazing. If you like seafood and cheese, grab this. My husband got the Cannoli de Carne. Wowza, this was so flavorful and delicious. Makes me wanna try the lasagna next time I stop in. Which will be soon!!! We ended the night with a shot of Limoncello and that baby was good. I be they make an amazing Limoncello Martini here. Excited to check this place out for HH, 5:00pm to 6:30.
