A generous portion with a spicy tomato based sauce. I sopped it all up with some crusty bread. My husband had minestrone soup and meatballs with peppers. He cleaned his plate!

Uncle Louis never fails to please.

The smell of woodfired pizza wafts from the open ovens, the furniture is beautiful and substantial. The spacious booths easily accommodated the six of us hungry people. After being seated, the menus were presented and we all were drooling over the variety of dishes. When we ordered our drinks, our server asked if we wanted bread, regular or foccacia, and we ordered both. I also ordered ceviche. The owner, Paco, stopped by our table and asked what we really wanted because if it wasn't on the menu, they'd make it! My DIL asked about a four cheese ravioli she saw online but not on the menu, no problem! She was pleased. I mentioned I was considering the linguini with clams and he said, "Good choice, you stick with that." My son had Fettucini Alfredo with chicken. The grandkids were ecstatic and twin 1 ordered Mac & cheese while twin 2 asked to sub Alfredo sauce which they dad. Jack got a cheese pizza, a full-sized thin crust gooey with cheese. Everyone loved their food. The service here is fast. The kids' meals arrived with the bread and my ceviche which was perfect because they were really hungry AND take forever to eat, lol. Our meals arrived minutes later. I cannot praise the foccacia enough. I poured some olive oil and balsamic on a plate and added parm to make a yummy dip. I also loved it with the bright, fresh ceviche, featuring big juicy chunks of shrimp. My linguini with clams (spicy) came with a delicious savory wine sauce. The clams were plump and perfectly cooked. All the pasta is house made and cooked to a perfect al dente. The desserts looked amazing but we were all too full to try. If you're in Scottsdale, be sure to stop in for fresh pasta and woodfired pizza.

We've been to Casa Mia twice now and it was incredible both times. You must order the burrata,…read morewhich comes with a large portion of cheese and the best prosciutto I've ever tasted (so fresh). Bread is free, served to every table with delicious olive oil and vinegar. I really appreciate the free bread, not many places do this anymore and it's just such a nice touch. The bread pairs perfectly with the burrata. For the mains my husband ordered the tagliatelle which comes with bolognese sauce. He got this both times we came because it's just that good. I ordered the gnocchi the first time and the paccheri the second time. Both so delicious. The gnocchi was very rich and creamy with lots of mushrooms. The gnocchi pasta had a great flavor and texture. The paccheri comes with a huge portion of sauce with sausage and tomatoes and basil, the flavor is amazing. The pasta itself (paccheri noodle) is the best noodle I've ever had, cooked perfectly al dente, it has such a nice texture, so chewy. You can tell everything is homemade and fresh. For drinks we both got a glass of the Cabernet which was very nice, $15/glass. Something shocking happened at a table next to us at our most recent visit. Our table was right next to the kitchen. One of the waitresses was bringing our pastas to our table and she slipped walking down the steps from the kitchen to the dining room. She accidentally dropped my plate of pasta which caused the ceramic dish to break into many pieces. Obviously this is an accident and the waitress feels awful dropping a plate of fresh food, who would want to make her feel any worse?? The table next to us. A table of four, two couples. That table was incredibly rude, started yelling that the "glass" flew and hit one of the men and demanding the entire meal be comped. The dish wasn't even glass lady... I was shocked by this woman's behavior - she was speaking so loudly, bad mouthing the restaurant, demanding meal be free, cussing, saying they're never coming back and that it's a terrible restaurant. Just nasty behavior. It was my pasta dish so that means we waited longer to get a new plate. Did I care?? Absolutely not. I felt awful to all the staff at the restaurant that had to interact with this person. Her husband finally started telling her to calm down and sent her out to wait in the car while they finished paying. During this whole interaction my husband and I just observed the madness and waited patiently for our food without a complaint. Two waiters (maybe owners?) came over and asked us if we were okay, apologized, and offered a free glass of wine. We didn't want the wine, or anything for free, but they insisted. We talked to our waiter about how rude they were being and agreed that it's best if that group never returned. I felt called to write this review to show how incredible this restaurant truly is, not just because their food is so tasty and fresh. We had so many staff come to our table and be so kind, generous, and warm. I can imagine this rude woman might go leave a negative review and I just need people who read reviews to know the truth - the lady was the problem NOT the restaurant. I can't understand this behavior, so entitled and ignorant. Thank you to everyone at Casa Mia, we had a wonderful night and will be coming back and bringing our loved ones. By the way - we live in downtown Phoenix so we drive about 30 min to get to Casa Mia, and it's 100% worth it.

Thought I'd give an Italian restaurant a try and this place was a very nice experience…read more I was promptly greeted upon arrival and seated at a comfortable table. The menu was quite large and I decided to go simple. I started with the Cesare salad. It was good but far from special and definitely not exceptional. It was served in what appeared to be a soup bowl which seemed a bit strange. The Caesar dressing was quite ordinary and the salad presentation was what I'd expect in a 3 star restaurant. My entree was the Spaghetti Puttanrsca. It was a nice blend of pasta, meats and spices. Served at the right temperature, it was unique and very flavorful and not too spicy. The dish does not appear on the online menu so I presume it's a newer item. For dessert I had the Coconut Sorbet. I should note there was no dessert menu and the waiter went over the choices with me. The Coconut Sorbet was rich and creamy although frozen quite hard. Overall I give the restaurant 4 stars. The service was excellent and the restaurant comfortable and inviting. The bar area was crowded which demonstrates the popularity of this location. I give it my recommendation.

Two people who ordered Ravioli, said it was cold, and sent it back to the kitchen. Their complaint was acceped. Shortly they were served what seemed to a fresh plate of ravioli. My order was Spaghetti Carbonera. The spaghetti was thin and hot. It was cooked until tender. Loads of white sauce, and butter topped the pasta. There was bread on the table for soping up the sauce. Those who diined with me ordered dessert. They were all trilled with how the desserts tasted. They all looked appealing. The dining group redily agreed to put this on the repeat list, that is we will go there again because it was so good, not because the food repeated on you, but because we all wanted to go back again.

We live in Queen Creek AZ and planned to visit Heritage kitchen in Scottsdale but when we showed up…read more, we were surprised to see that they were closed from July 2-6 for the holiday , which was a bummer , so I looked for a place close by and found a little italian restaurant called Ciao Grazie. Im glad we stumbled across this place...its a a must-visit! We started with the meatball appetizer, and they were a huge hit--tender, flavorful, and the perfect way to begin our meal. My husband ordered the chicken parmesan, and he absolutely loved it. I had the chicken piccata, which was perfectly prepared and full of lemo flavor. I also tried the pizza, and it was outstanding. One of the highlights of our visit was talking with the manager, Stefano. He was incredibly friendly and provided exceptional service. He explained that everything is cooked in their wood-fired ovens, and they even make their fresh mozzarella in-house. You can definitely taste the difference! The drinks were just as impressive. We enjoyed an Italian Mule which paired amazingly well with my Chicken Picatta, a Limoncello Blueberry Mojito, and an Espresso Martini--each one was delicious. To top off an already amazing meal, we shared their caramelized dessert calzone filled with Nutella and banana and topped with ice cream. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic dining experience. From the food and drinks to the outstanding service, everything exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend Ciao Grazie to anyone looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience!

We've been coming to this restaurant for many years, and unfortunately, our recent experience was…read moreextremely disappointing. Since the restaurant is now under new management, it seems like the entire atmosphere and level of service have changed. We waited an entire hour for our food. What made the experience even more frustrating was watching the manager appear to prioritize feeding his own family while paying customers continued to wait. The entire staff seemed stressed, overwhelmed, and disorganized. I understand that restaurants can have busy days, but there was very little communication or acknowledgment of the lengthy wait. It's sad to see a restaurant we've supported and enjoyed family celebrations for years go downhill like this. We truly hope the new management takes a step back, addresses the staffing and service issues, and remembers that customers should come first. At this point, we're very hesitant to return. BRING NADINE AND CLAUDIO BACK!

We had a great experience at Patricia's Pizza for happy hour. When we first arrived, the bar was…read morefull, so we went to the small bar patio to find a seat. While some seats were available, it was a very warm day, and I couldn't manage sitting in the sun, as the one umbrella I saw wasn't opened, so we went back inside to see if any bar seating had opened, and fortunately for us, a couple of chairs at the bar were now available. It's super comfortable sitting at the bar here, with a nice open-air view across the bar to the outside patio area. The service was friendly, and the happy hour menu is plentiful. We were here for the food today, and there is no shortage of options at (by today's standards) pretty reasonable prices for the amount of food you get. And if you come at other than peak hours, you can even get happy hour in the main dining room and patio, so we hope to give that a try! We ordered three items: handcrafted meatballs with San Marzano sauce ($10) and rigatoni with pulled chicken ($12) from the happy hour menu and the half Tomaso's Sicilian salad from the regular menu (essentially a happy hour price at only $8). All of it was delicious, but the standout was the salad, which my wife said was even better than the salad she orders when we visit Little Italy in San Diego. That's a huge compliment! The atmosphere isn't quiet, but they didn't have super loud, blaring music when we were there, which was welcome. It's essentially a square dining room with a bar on the side. While the bar patio on the north side of the building isn't much and isn't shaded unless you score a spot with the umbrella or come at a time of day when the building blocks the sun, the main patio is nicely covered and shaded at all times. We look forward very much to coming here again and trying other items they offer, especially the pizzas. It's nice to have another dining option in this part of town. :)
