    Good ol reliable friendly neighborhood restaurant. Decent food. You know what to expect because they are consistent. We frequent Argenzianos may once every few month. Service is good and prices are reasonable.

    Really great food and service . Looked for something closer to our friend's place who are visiting from out of town this evening . This place had great reviews so we drove 25 minutes from north east tucson to check it out . Cozy low key Italian - everything came out steaming hot - big plus - Pizza outstanding, perfect topping to crust ratio . The crust was perfect crunch , bread on sausage and meatballs sandwiches reminds my of those amazing crunchy rolls at authentic Vietnamese place . Stuffed shells , ravioli and sausage and peppers all a big hit ! Lemon and cheesecake desserts spectacular/ Loren was our server , she was on it and she couldn't have been more friendly . Super happy we found this restaurant , we'll be back !

    Still a delicious place and they now take reservations! We had a little bit of a wait which was expected on a Friday night and grabbed a glass of wine until our table was ready. Football was playing on one tv by the bar and the vibe of the rest of the restaurant was relaxing and enjoyable. We ordered the antipasto which is my absolute favorite, chicken fettuccine alfredo, a cheese pizza and sausage and peppers over penne. That last one is my new favorite All the employees are very kind with big smiles. You gotta try this place at least once!

    Chicken wings original sauce/ we ate 3 before I took the pic! There are other sauces to choose from as well. Ranch was great!

    Inside needs a bit of a face lift and fans need a cleaning (my husband noticed that) but let me tell you the food was delicious and came out hot! They just changed to Pepsi products from RC the waitress told us. Service was efficient and friendly

    Fresh Jumbo Portobello Ravioli $16.95 served with soup/salad and dinner rolls. Delish, perfectly cooked. 7-2024

    Early dinner at 3PM and dining room was half full already in the heat of summer; definitely a good sign. Stone's throw from Vail but in the middle of seemingly nowhere is this local Italian gem. PASTA Service was great and all the food was excellent, especially the ravioli, perfectly cooked al dente and enough sauce to see you through leftovers if you didn't snarf it down in one sitting with 6-8 large ones. Hubby got the Portabello and I the ricotta with 2 meatballs. Not sure if made in house but it's very fresh and texture appears so. Meatballs were medium firm, garlicky and herbaceous, and delicious. $16.95 for both dishes and amazingly also served with a yeasty firm dinner roll with butter that comes out with the water, and choice of soup (Italian Wedding or Pasta e Fagioli) or salad. We tried the Fagioli which was excellent, again perfectly cooked beans in a flavorful medium dense tomato broth. On asking for dressings, Caesar was an option and waitress asked if hubby wanted to make that a Caesar side which he did. Receipt showed later a .75c crouton & $1.50 cheese upgrade, so that was a sneaky hit. Dressing had pronounced anchovy flavor which my partner love loves but it wasn't worth the upgrade, and definitely the weak link in the meal. Will stick to the normal salad in future or soups which are stellar. SIPS Oddly for an Italian restaurant they did not have Campari on a full bar to make the beloved national fave Negroni, so hubby got a standard Old Fashioned $13 -$2 for Happy Hr, which I did not recall seeing on the menu and -$1 on $10 Whisky Barrel Aged Cab made for Argz's that was yummy. Guests had a Hot Italian Roast Beef Hero $12 which was packed full of thin slices and as a Midwesterner he devoured it in delight; and a huge plateful of chicken alfredo $20.95 that would easily provided seconds and possibly thirds for a lil bird haha Counting my calories and days to get to this slice of Little Italy deliciousness in Corona de Tucson, Ciao Bello!

    Buffalo chicken calzone (super greasy and undercooked) portion was already in the trash, couldn't even eat this

    First I want to say this place was highly recommended by multiple people so I was excited to try them out. Coming off being sick and not wanting to cook for the family we figured we'd try an order to go. First negative, they were out of ingredients for margarita pizza- unfortunate, yet forgivable. We ended up ordering spaghetti and meatballs, with the house salad (included diced tomatoes and red onions) and a cold roll tossed in the bag unwrapped (nice touch). The spaghetti and meatballs we ordered extra meatballs for $3.00 a piece. It was fine but tasted like sauce from a jar and frozen meatballs. Definitely not worth the cost. And should have just made it at home. We ordered an order of calamari and it smelled so fishy it was obviously a terrible choice. I was brave enough to try it and couldn't even bite through it was so rubbery. Immediately tossed it out. Will follow up if food poisoning ensues. We ordered a Buffalo chicken calzone and it was full of grease, cubed frozen chicken and unmelted cheese. We tried to eat it but threw it away. Picture included for this masterpiece. We also ordered and paid for two orders of tiramisu and only received one. I did call to let them know that the meal was horrible and they forgot our second tiramisu. The manager said that the calzone comes like that- greasy and undercooked so will not replace but said they'll put our name on a list and give us a free calamari and tiramisu next time we come in. We will not be returning and will be telling our neighbor it's and friends about our experience. We just fed our trash can nearly $90 of food including a tip and I'm so mad that the calamari is making the house smell like fish. Someone needs to call Gordon Ramsey- this is the stuff kitchen nightmares is made of. They must serve either heavy poured or cheap drinks because the food is terrible. The only reason I rated one star was so I could write this review. Also not only does the food suck, the management is kinda awful too. This has nothing to do with them personally, I'm only rating them professionally. Save your money for the gas station cantina or the taco truck. You'll be happier with either place.

This is a small town with really one top restaurant. It's going to be busy. Be patient or pick another restaurant.

I was pleasantly surprised that they're just as good as I remember from 10+ years ago. The cheese is flavorful and has a great stretch, and the crust is just so crispy and thin! Really delicious. The lunch special is very good, too. $8 for a massive cheese slice and a drink is a deal hard to come by in this economy, and it can easily feed 2 people. I opted to add pepperoni for an extra $1.50. Still a good deal. I also would not skip on the ranch if you're a fan of the good homemade kind. I can tell it is made in-house and it's so creamy and garlicky. Service was quick and polite. I also notice that they always offer fresh brewed ice tea and some kind of specialty water - this time they had a watermelon infused water that was great. I love when I'm offered fresh-made drink options besides your usual fountain drinks.

We also ordered the garlic knots, which were great for their price. It was a little awkward ordering over the phone for pick up because they said it would take "at least 45 minutes" but if we could give them "a little more time that would be great". We weren't quite sure when to pick it up so that we either wouldn't be waiting forever at the restaurant or if we showed up too late the pizza might be cold. We decided to wait an hour. Luckily it was ready by the hour mark and was hot and fresh when we got it home. It was busy when we picked it up so I can understand them not knowing exactly when it would be ready. We'd love to dine in next time!

Even though the restaurant was open for business they did not answer the phone! Warning! I finally had my call answered in the evening and made our reservation and informed them that we were interested in the 'Cheese Wheel Linguine' as you are required. We were then informed while ordering that they would not be doing the 'wheel' due to 'callouts' that night. OK, so I tried to order (4) different bottles of Chardonnay and they were out of three of them. We started with an appetizer of 'calamari' and it came 'burnt' and like rubber. We also ordered their famous Caesar Salad and were never served. We then decided to order a pizza which was served to us cold, uncooked and doughy. The poor wait staff and cooks are not managed correctly and were well over whelmed with no help. I was informed that the restaurant has 'new ownership' as they were purchased by 'Flying Leap Vineyards' and have been recently having staffing issues, inventory issue's and the new owners have cut back on everything. They did credit us on our bill for the cold uncooked pizza and the burnt calamari that was not edible. Our waiter felt so bad but, as we told him it was not his fault we were leaving without eating dinner 90 minutes later. Flying Leap Vineyards needs to somehow overcome this type of quality and improve things in a hurry otherwise ' just shut the doors' and sell Wine!

One or actually two comments I must make which were unpleasant. The bread was served in the bread basket covered with a napkin and it was very cold as if it just came out of the fridge. In about 5 minutes after delivering the bread a young lady who was not our server came up to us and asked if she could take it away. We said that it just arrived, however, she was somewhat insistent so we let her take it away. She took the basket, the oil, the vinegar and the plate with an uneaten slice of bread. Super strange behavior in my opinion. The second thing I noticed is as soon as you stop chewing they want to take your food away immediately. Beware
