I got house salad with vinaigrette on side : VERY GOOD. We both got steak, I got the ribeye medium and hubs got the sirloin medium well - temps were correct on both - kudos to chef. Mashed potatoes were phenomenally good, and again the portions were extremely generous. Seasonal veggies for entrees turned out to be steamed broccoli (my favorite), but they douse it in salty something - I could have done without that part and next time I will remember to ask for clean steamed broccoli, no butter salt or anything on it. So full, could not even think about dessert, but they looked good! Very dark inside and the booth seat was flat and uncomfortable. Time to reupholster your booths! We could have sat outside but it looked a little dirty out there from the recent rains and blowing dust storms. Server was wonderful, kind, timely, friendly - would def recommend and will def be back!

What really disappointed me, though, was the lack of cleanliness. The condiment caddy was visibly dirty...the mustard bottle had dried mustard around the cap, and the pepper shaker was so caked with who-knows-what that I couldn't even get any pepper out. The restaurant had only a few guests, so it certainly wasn't a matter of the items just coming from another table. The walls were dirty as well, and so was the glass on the entry door. These may seem like small details, but they make a big impression. Basic cleanliness and attention to these simple details should be a priority, especially in a restaurant.

There were four of us and we got two appetizers, which was more food that we needed! The serving sizes are very generous. We had nachos and an order of cauliflower. Absolutely the best cauliflower I've ever had. I'll be sure to get that each and every time I return. Great musician, Korie inspector, playing in the courtyard. The only downside was we had to ask her plates, we had to ask for silverware, we had to ask for napkins, we had to ask for water refills. Maybe they were just a little understaffed for a Tuesday night, but it will not deter me from coming back. In fact, I highly recommend it. Perfect for a summer night. And I can't quite leave this review without saying the ambience of the setting was just perfect. Lots of shade trees areas for families to play, there were cornhole games going on, there was another sitting area with a waterfall, I could see when I was leaving out there is a dedicated play area for children. This is a great place for a big party it's a massive ranch and they have utilized all of it in great ways.

The place was packed and we ordered the Ceasar's salad to split and the mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce. The salad was fine and enough for us to easily share. The mussels were good, tasty broth, and grilled bread to soak up the sauce. We also ordered a tagliatelle bolognese that was fine, decent taste, hot and a generous helping. Our server was on the spot with making sure we were happy, drinks filled and yet did not interrupt our conversation. To the Cafe Torino staff, we never felt pressure to dine and dash, thank you. The food was fine but not remarkable. Obviously, the crowds love this place. You should make a visit to Cafe Torino and make your own decision.

Caffe Torino is excellent! My wife and I have dined in the restaurant several times but it's been…read moreseveral months since and we recently got a carryout order that was equally outstanding. I usually get the chicken piccata because it's such an excellent preparation, with delicious sauce and perfectly tender chicken and really an excellent piccata preparation, but this time I went with the chicken Taleggio and don't regret it a bit. This one has mushrooms and cheese, but not like a marsala. It's its own dish and an excellent one. Got plenty of pasta as well so the portion size on carryout is nothing to sneeze at - I really like that. My wife got the rigatoni alla panna, rich and delicious, but not too heavy. Another winner. When you die in the restaurant, you also get excellent bread and outstanding service. My carryout service experience was very good as our dining service experiences. Daniela is warm and welcoming, and I don't know the bartender's name, but she was really excellent handling my carryout order. Even the salad is delicious. I can't get over the dressing.

I even called ahead of time and spoke with someone about the gluten-free options (David, who turned out to be our server) and he was very helpful and pleasant on the phone. But the dining experience was sorely disappointing and I'm not sure whether we would return or not based on that experience. David's service was attentive and pleasant, the wine was really good, and my pork carbonara dish was pretty good - the pork chop itself was delicious and perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked; the pasta was creamy and pretty good, but just lacking a bit in flavor (cheese?). I'm not a fan of cherry tomatoes in carbonara but no big deal, still overall, it was a very good dish. But here is where it went wrong. My wife ordered the grilled pork, which according to the menu is slices of pork topped with spinach and mozzarella served over linguine with red sauce. She asked if they could switch the red sauce out for another (non-red) sauce. David suggested either Alfredo or a white wine sauce, and my wife asked for the white wine sauce. And gluten-free pasta.Since I had called earlier to ask about gluten-free or gluten-sensitive options, and they said they have GF pasta and GF pizza crust, David let the kitchen know to start the pasta water (which is a nice accommodation) as soon as we arrived - although my wife wasn't sure yet, having not looked at the menu, whether she really did intend to have a dish accompanied by pasta. But that's fine if they want to start it early. We sat there for a good 25-30 minutes after ordering, wondering what was going on with the food, since we were one of only two tables at the time. We tracked David down and he apologetically told us there had been some kind of issue with the chef "getting the dishes switched around" (??) and that they had to start the order over again, and that he appreciated our patience. After a while, the entrees arrived. My pork carbonara looked good. My wife's pork dish, even after waiting that long and having them re-do the entrees, had a few issues - 1) it was served with pasta with red sauce, not the white wine sauce she'd asked for; 2) uncertainty over whether the pasta is indeed gluten-free because it's possible that they have GF spaghetti, but in our experience, it's very unusual for a restaurant to offer GF spaghetti. Usually it's penne or a similar shape. But David did double check and said it really is GF spaghetti. I was suspect myself when I tasted the dish, because GF pasta has a tendency to fall apart or dry out and I couldn't really tell that this was GF pasta. So maybe it was just really good GF pasta; and 3) the pork wasn't sliced, it was whole. And possibly breaded. When we noted the dish was supposed to be white wine sauce over GF pasta, David again apologized and said the chef was "flustered" (his word, not mine). Not sure how a whole 2 tables flusters a chef, but okay. At this point, after all this time, and my dish being served correctly and hot, we were not about to send the dish back AGAIN while I sit there eating mine while it's still hot. We had originally thought, when first seated, that we might order dessert or at least the good looking after dinner drinks. But we just wanted to get the heck out of there as fast as we could. And to their / David's credit, they did comp the pork dish, which is nice. Not sure we'd return.

The restaurant has a beautiful interior and offers outdoor seating, but since it's the middle of summer in Tucson, sitting inside was a must! We arrived just in time for happy hour. Most of the appetizers on the regular menu were marked down to $9.75, and the happy hour drinks were the same price. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms, steamed mussels, a dirty martini, and a grapefruit cosmo. Everything was delicious, but the mussels were our absolute favorite. The broth they came with was delightful, and we used the complimentary bread to soak up every last drop! Even though the appetizers filled us up, we still ordered dinner. I got the Pesto Penne Pasta and my friend got the Chicken Marsala. My pasta was incredibly flavorful with just the right amount of chicken in every bite. My friend really enjoyed the Marsala too. The portions were great, and we both had enough leftovers for another meal. I definitely plan on coming back when it's cooler to enjoy the patio, which sits nicely between the restaurant and the boutique across the way. The view looks great, and I heard they sometimes have live music. Highly recommend!

I chose this one on Golf Links to visit. First, I arrived about 1 pm on a Saturday. The place was fairly busy. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. My server, Pat S came over quickly and took my drink order. She returned quickly with my drinks and I gave her my order with specific instructions. Pastrami sandwich, no mustard, provolone instead of Swiss, a side of mayo, fries and a side salad with no onions and Thousand Island dressing. Boom! Salad out first, perfect! SCORE!!! The pastrami sandwich had a decent amount of meat on it (not as much as years ago, but that's the way things are now). Pat checked on me a few times, refilled drinks when needed. I have zero complaints and don't understand the low reviews. Being a sports bar, it wasn't overly noisy. TVs everywhere. Tables and dining area very clean. Restrooms were also clean and all products available. I will return when I am in the area again. Thanks, Famous Sam's. You did not disappoint.

I ordered the prime rib sandwich on sourdough with au jus, and it was absolutely delicious, super flavorful and cooked perfectly. I also got the strawberry vanilla margarita with a sugar rim, and WOW... easily one of the best drinks I've had. So good. My grandparents each ordered the prime rib sliders without the bun with a loaded baked potato and made their own yummy creations, which they loved.

The wedge salads had just a dollop of Bleu Cheese dressing on them. I don't usually order filets, but I did this time. It was overcooked and really tough for a filet.

The Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert (not on the menu, not sure why the waiter recommended it) was dry and dense. Overall, the quality has gradually gone down. So much that I doubt we'll be back.
