A quaint and charming decor that told a story of old Italy. The service was quick and friendly. Our waitress was efficient and personable. You could tell she enjoyed her job. We indulged in a house Merlot that had a fantastic flavor. We tried the appetizer sampler platter that was just the right size for the two of us. Our entree's were prepared with great care and tasted of wonderfully fresh ingredients. The portion size was just right for us. We did not partake in any desserts, but the list looked just yummy. Just a great location in Old Town Avondale. We are looking forward to our return to try something new.

The smells of Italian cooking fill the air. Yet you walk through to a big seating area in the back. Nice decore with all tables formally set up and Italian instrumental music in the background. Lina took care of us and still managed even though this place got busy real quick. We had some delicious zucchini appetizer along with the complimentary toasted bread. The penne arriabatta was delicious and my date raved about the creamy Tuscan chicken. I look forward to trying again. If you partake in wine I noticed a big selection. I really enjoyed the experience and the super clean, nice smelling bathrooms made me smile.

Both 5 star. The trouble started with the dessert menu - how do you choose? We landed on the Brookie Sundae. The food, and ambiance is well worth the trip.

My boyfriend asked what I wanted to eat and all I knew was I wanted pasta.

If im ever back on this side of town I will be back ASAP. I may even drive this far as my new pasta spot! Boyfriend tapping in here. i took one bite of my meat lovers calzone and audibly said, "OMG WOW" after just a bite of cheese and bread. the food, service, and atmosphere was truely wonderful!

That's when we learned that they cook the chicken in the fryer (good to know) He took that off our bill. We shared the tiramisu for dessert which was also awesome.

Here's another Yelp! first for me... This review is for two business who work closely together for…read morean awesome cause. If you've never heard of Pizza to the Rescue, you should. And if you don't know about their affiliation with the dog rescue Almost There, you should. From what I understand, Almost There came first and it sits behind the pizzeria across the parking lot. For our daughter's 16th birthday, we took her and ten friends to do puppy yoga. It was awesome and the girls had a great time. Plus the instructor Meg was super chill and the volunteers made sure the experience was enjoyable. Then we walked across the parking lot for an equally amazing lunch. Pizza to the Rescue isn't an ordinary pizza joint. Think elevated. The eclectic interior is hard to describe. It's got a mid-century modern vibe with a mix of boho and tiki lounge. Sitting at the bar, my wife and I took it all in, admiring the decor, sipping our adult beverages, and allowing the girls to celebrate behind us on the patio. The service was excellent. Our server, the bar tender, the busser, and others all worked together as a team. It was also a sight to see. Now the food was unexpectedly good. Seriously, our roasted artichoke heart appetizer belongs in a fine dining restaurant. And so does the pizza. The variety and creativity is impressive, and the pizzas were delicious! The best part of this is the fact that 25% of Pizza to the Rescue's proceeds go to Almost There. Do yourself a favor and go try the pizza. And maybe pick out a puppy to take home with your leftovers.

They even have a dog-friendly patio, which makes it even better. They also have an incredible happy hour daily from 2 PM-5 PM. I ordered the meatball sandwich for just $10, and the bread on that sandwich is absolutely to die for. I also ordered a pepperoni pizza with basil oil for $10 as well, which felt like such a steal. I had a well vodka cranberry for $6, which was exactly what you'd expect--simple and fine. The food is what really stands out at this place. It's great food while also supporting a fantastic cause. It's about a 40-minute drive for me, but I've already been twice in the last month. Service can be a little spotty depending on how busy they are, but overall it's totally worth it.

The hostess greeted us right away, we were seated on the patio - gorgeous view. Our server was wonderful - attentive, courteous, provided suggestions without upselling. We ordered italicus spritz & margarita - light and pleasant summery drinks. For a meal, we shared deviled eggs, sonoran chicken lettuce wraps, sliders with fries and Thompson bolognese. Everything came out pretty fast - it was fresh and delicious, generous portions too. Of course we had to try dessert - we had spiced carrot cake with espresso. Cake was very good and espresso was great & strong! We'll definitely go back to try other items on the menu.

I made a reservation at this long-ago bookmarked restaurant to celebrate our twins 21st birthdays…read more I am so pleased they are finally old enough we can dine at restaurants I want to try (instead of only those serving kid food). Our Open Table reservation was for inside seating, but the restaurant was packed and we were seated on the misted patio at a high top for four. A spinning device was placed on our table lamp to deter flying pests. It was warm on the patio but fully shaded, with an occasional drifting cool breeze from the open doors of the dining room. The view of the McDowell Mountains is gorgeous from the patio. Our server was a quiet young man who was training another new server. Drink orders were placed, waters delivered all around. Appetizers ordered and meal orders placed at the same time were timed appropriately for our entree to arrive after a pause. We ordered from the happy hour menu a Dos XX draft lager and a house red sangria to go with the spinach artichoke dip and tortilla chips. The sangria was lovely, a tart red on top then sweeter, with brandy perhaps ,when mixed from the bottom. Several slices of citrus filled the glass. Beer was cold and a full pint. For $16 the spinach artichoke dip is a pricey appetizer at happy hour. It comes in a little cast iron skillet with oil all around the edge of the bubbling cheesy dip. Is truly thought they had overheated it, but the center was still creamy, the cheese unbroken. The tortilla chips were so light and crispy I had to inquire with the server if they were truly all corn or a blend. All corn! This was the most flavorful and delicious version of this dip I have experienced in any restaurant, and I do order it frequently. My only complaint was the spinach is too stringy and should be lightly chopped before adding to the dip. For my entree, I ordered the happy hour chicken lettuce wraps $10. They were pre-assembled portions of spicy dark chicken with corn and hot sauce. The lettuce cups were small but held up to the fillings. The chicken was one dimentional in flavor, just hot sauce and nothing else. I won't order this again, what a shame and a missed opportunity for a spectacular dish. One son had the 105 burger , a house double smash burger with waffle fries. He enjoyed the burger a lot, planning to save half then eating it all anyway. The garlic aoli was his favorite thing. He pronounced the waffle fries too crunchy. Almost like kettle chips, they lacked the tender insides he prefers in a waffle cut potato. Husband agreed. He had the same fries with his absolutely amazing French dip sandwich with prime rib. Especially awesome was the horseradish sauce and the dip which clearly had meat broth not just bouillon. Nice job! I got to eat about a quarter of it when he couldn't finish and yummers! I should add, our server made husband's beer $3 because they have a $19 burger and beer special (and son had a burger with no beer). This was very kind and honest! Other son ordered the short rib rustica pasta. This was a very filling dish. He enjoyed the meat sauce, it was very rich and tender. The house made rigatoni was broken, flattened and cooked too soft for his liking. Nonetheless it was all gone in a flash. When I suggested dessert, neither boy was really interested but I insisted because of the celebratory nature of our meal together. The wait staff brought our two desserts with four spoons and two candles in honor of the boys birthdays. The neighboring tables joined us in singing to our kids when the servers left. It was sweet. And so we're the desserts! A brownie sundae with dulce de leche ice cream vanished quickly. The boys were amused by the potato chip garnish. The seasonal ricotta cheesecake was also a dulce de leche flavor and it was fabulous. Dense, rich and smooth, I ate more than my share of this decadent wedge of heaven. Accompanying strawberries and blueberries were appreciated as a nod to healthier choices. The birthday desserts were both comped, very generous and thank you to the manager! When the bill arrived, we tried to pay using the QR code but the receipt is only for joining their e club. Server brought a kiosk and we paid on the spot. All very efficient.
