    Amazing! What went well? Everything!! We have found our place! Italian, all home made, prices are $$. The ambiance is wonderful! Huge bar and minimalist dining room. Tables are far apart! Bartender, Linee, very knowledgeable!! Acoustics are great! What a great find - 10 min from home!!

    We stopped in for a late dinner and go give osteria in surprise a try since the happy valley location is not our favorite. Service was good and our waitress was nice and friendly. She was also bartending and did a great job managing both duties. Alicia was her name :) The mozzarella was good and I liked that it came with pomadoro for dipping. My hubby was sad they were out of the scampi special but he ended up with the gemelli. The basil cream sauce was delish and so flavorful. He was thrown off by shrimp with tails left on being mixed into the dish but wasn't the end of the word (yes he ate one without realizing and stabbed the roof of his mouth lol). My pizza was good and it was different for me to try since I'm not a truffle fan but the black truffle cream sauce was good and balance well with the cheeses and mushrooms. We also got moose track gelato which is obviously going to be good. Our drinks were also made well and we loved seeing the white label Penelope as a bourbon options because we have never seen it out at a restaurant. It was slower in the evening but we did appreciate the spacious this location is One additional note- we honestly were very excited to see Sabi serving! She is a GOLDMINE in the city of Surprise! So many people know her and no matter where she is serving if she's tour server you're in the best of hands!! She wasn't even our server but it was nice catching up with her and getting suggestions from both her and Alicia. Definitely plan on returning to try a couple other items we were glancing at on the menu

    Jessica is our Server, super nice, attentive and very accommodating. The place is quite large, very open but clean and well maintained. Cocktails; Almafi Spritz-very refreshing, Gran Torino-Excellent and well balanced with all the different spirits that made up the cocktail, loved the large ice cube, nice touch Appetizer; Calamari Fritti-Lightly breaded, not tough, great homemade sauce and seasoned properly. Entrees; Gemelli, homemade pasta, homemade sauce with shrimp, very flavorful but filling, took some home for the next day, Linguine Alle Vongole; Excellent, homemade pasta and sauce with clams, loved it, no leftovers on this dish. The only suggestion I have is they should hand grind parmigiano/reggiano cheese table-side vs. a cheese shaker like you would get at Pizza Hut, just saying! We will return to try other Entrees and their pizza.

    OMG. I kept hearing about this restaurant and I don't even live here. So while visiting family, we decided to pop in for dinner on a Saturday. We were able to make a Phone reservation, which was very helpful since we were dining with a senior guest. I know everybody in town is a senior, but it is hard for them to wait. I believe our server's name was Sardie they were super friendly and professional. They had short brown hair and a bunch of tattoos, which was cool. We opted for two specials that evening. When was the chicken and the other was the Branzino. And then, of course we had the radiatore. Each of us also decided to start with the Caesar salad. It was delicious and the perfect size. The pasta was the star of the show with the short rib Ragu and creamy ricotta. We did enjoy the Branzino, although we felt it was a little overcooked and a little salty. Yes I know there are olives, etc., but it was a little salty. The chicken was also very good with both the breast and dark meat along with vegetables and sausage. The focaccia bread was also delicious and I recommend that you start with that. And then we finished off with a dark chocolate gelato, which was delicious. Overall, we had a great meal. There's parking out front, but it is a little weird directionally and if you have a limited mobility guest or handicap guest, you'll have to park on the opposite side because none of the curbs on one side of the building are ramps. Cool ambience although a little cavernous in my opinion, the manager came by to say hello, he was super sweet. I would definitely come back and try other items.

    Nice little spot. Food was good but service was A+! Stephanie was our server, she was suuuper nice, as was everyone else we encountered. I asked for a veggie on the side to go with my daughter's Mac n cheese, so the chef personally came out to verify if broccolini would work, and if we'd like it cut small and sautéed rather than their normal way of preparing it. I got their weekly special branzino, awesome. I was slightly disappointed in the crème brûlée, I don't think the top was brûléed enough to my liking and still seemed like gritty sugar rather than a hard shell, but the overall taste was still great (and everyone else at the table preferred it this way). I'd definitely go back to try out more things on the menu.

    We enjoyed a good Friday evening meal for the first time here at Osteria Mia in Surprise, AZ. I noticed when walking in that the seating here is very open with a cafeteria feel. There's not much to absorb noise, with no walls or noise-absorbing surfaces. There are tables and long booth seating as well as high back chairs and tables, and bar seating. Patio tables as well. This spot was packed on a Friday night and everyone seemed to be loving it here. We were told by the hostess it would be a 20-30 minute wait to be seated but got taken to a table in around 10 minutes. We had a great server, Stephanie! She was cheerful and fun. She gave me recommendations and helped me decide on a main course too. We ordered: - MEATBALLS to share to start - POMODORO, PARMIGIANO, CROSTINI. Decent tender meatball. Really enjoyed the marinara with fresh garlic flavor. Drool. - CAMPANELLE x2 - GRILLED CHICKEN, CREMINI MUSHROOMS, PEAS, RED WINE DEMI CREAM SAUCE, PECORINO. I absolutely loved this dish! Full of flavor. I adore peas and pasta. I also love mushrooms and pasta - a prefect marriage. Every bite of pasta was delicious. It tasted homemade. I asked Stephanie and she said that yes, indeed, the pastas are all made in house with exception to the gluten free pasta and the gnocchi. Hubs said that this dish didn't have enough flavor for him. Different strokes I guess. - Cherry Cannoli to share for dessert - Yummy! Good fresh fried pastry shell and rich and flavorful cream inside I only finished half my meal so Stephanie brought a to-go container to the table and transferred my plate into the container.

    My first time here since I live nearby and heard great things about it. The menu was simple which I like meaning they have specialty dishes, but they do well in. The atmosphere was chill the dining room looks like it was type of warehouse feel to it. But classy. The service was good. We ordered an appetizer two meals and a mocktail. Overall, the food was good. A little expensive, but I can see why it was worth the price. I would come back again to try different items.

    Lupara

    We ordered for take out because not everyone in the family was feeling well so I can't comment on the dining in experience, however the restaurant looked roomy and clean! I ordered the Short Rib Radiatore, Campanelle, Lupara, Americano Pizza, & the Truffle Fries. When I arrived, our orders had just came out so they were ready just on time as communicated to me over the phone. All were big portions, and the entrees tasted really good! We are so excited to have another Italian restaurant that's not chain restaurants in town. We look forward to dining in soon!

    Mario's temper tantrum in response to my review. He's so unprofessional and petty.
    Sue H.

    I had initially left a 3-star review, after the owner decided to have a temper tantrum, I changed my review to one star. The owner and his wife think it's okay to walk around their restaurant drinking alcohol. It definitely would have been better if you were just sitting at the bar because people probably wouldn't have noticed it. And your juvenile daughter was running around INSIDE the bar area with her soda. If you think any of this is professional or acceptable, IT'S NOT. I am entitled to my opinion. The fact you're so petty about it shows you're unprofessional and immature. I will definitely tell all of my friends what happened and how you responded. We will never be back.

Or maybe you've never had them prepared that way. Well, you are missing out! What a delightful surprise to have the meat or the cheese fillings rolled inside tender wrappings that you don't have to cut into with a knife or push down with your fork! People should be lining up for these rarities. I was allowed to order 1 cannelloni and 1 manicotti instead of two of the same, so I was pleased to be so accommodated. Flavorful sauce covering both was excellent too. Another rarity is being served on linen tablecloths anywhere these days, especially in a moderately priced establishment, so that was a nice touch as was the complimentary bruschetta, but why no soft background Italian music to enhance the atmosphere?  Our entrees included a small salad or soup, and our salads were crisp and fresh.  For dessert we split a pistachio tartufo which was a scoop of gelato rolled in chopped pistachio, and was flavorful, plated well, but very hard and not as creamy as I've had elsewhere--also, the $8.95 price was too steep--I don't believe it was made on-site although it said the desserts were homemade--it may only be referring to the baked goods--the server skirted the question when I asked. We were also dismayed to see that veal is offered on the menu since it's hard to not think about the inhumane practice that veal entails--switch to chicken for all those veal dishes--it would save some money too. Overall, well worth a visit for those filled crepes alone!

Both pizzas were interesting. The Lichfield Park pizza has pesto sauce and corn on it, as well as cheese, so you might get a slice of that after your "guests" scarf their first helping. You better grab a slice of the Brooklyn pizza right away, though, because it's a traditional-looking pizza with pepperoni and sausage. You won't get a second shot at a slice. You'll get to finish the rest of the "adult" strawberry & bacon salad, though, with spinach instead of lettuce, walnuts, strawberries, and bacon bits. It doesn't come with ranch or even ranch-colored dressing, so they might not risk trying a pinkish salad dressing as a dip for their pizza crust. It's a very good salad and helped my vacation digestion, since I'm not used to the 110° August heat. Papa Paul's Pizza is less than a mile away from my room at the Wigwam. Going there would even be walkable in the summer heat if the fences around the Wigwam had pedestrian gates. As it is, both driveway gates on that corner of the Wigwam are slotted through the perimeter fence far from the place where Papa Pauls and the resort are just across the street from each other. I'm too delicate for a 0.9-mile walk in that much sun. I enjoyed a glass of wine at the bar to rehydrate, though, while I waited for the pizzas to come out of the oven.

I understand some people like that, but I wish they would have lightened up the amount and just have people ask for more if they want that. I ordered the chicken & broccoli alfredo. Sauce was clearly made in house, but the pasta itself was generic and did not taste like it was homemade. Good amount of protein though. We also ordered the mango and classic cannolis, and these stole the show. Flaky to perfection! If we come back, we might try the pizzas to see how it compares to the pasta.
