    Meatball sandwich and fries.
    Mark M.

    Still a pretty tasty food experience. We had the soup and grilled cheese sandwich and the meatball sandwich. We also had some amazing onion rings. Service is always excellent. Good meal all around.

    What a pleasant way to spend a Friday evening--dining at a small, quaint, family-owned restaurant. I was drawn in by the glowing reviews and decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The space is quite small, with five tables/booths and a bar area with chairs, but it's well maintained and charming. The owner, José, and his staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. I ordered a glass of Cabernet, and my wife had an iced tea. She chose the pot roast with mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley, while I had the steak tips with the same sides. Both meals were delicious and clearly homemade. The side salads were crisp and fresh, featuring a nice variety of vegetables. I should also mention that they have a full bar. For dessert, we shared a tiramisu and a cannoli--both were excellent. José, who is also the chef, is clearly passionate about his craft and takes great pride in the dishes he serves. He's a true entrepreneur, and it shows in every detail. One note: there seems to be a glitch with the app's reservation feature, so I recommend calling ahead the old-fashioned way if you want to reserve a table. Pricing was very fair given the quality, portion size, and thoughtful presentation. We'll definitely be back!

    Cheese burger and onion rings

    We love this place! Great fresh food and a welcoming atmosphere. Today I had the cheeseburger and onion rings. One of the best burgers I've ever had. Highly recommend the empanadas too.

    Wow! We couldn't have been more pleased. Excellent service, excellent food, wonderful ambience, and spotless place.

    The meatball sub and onion rings.

    This little unassuming spot is so much better than expected! It is small inside, so we found sitting at the bar to be the most comfortable spot. The service was quick, they checked on us continuously, and the owner even came out and chatted with us. We had the fish and chips and the heavy hitter meatball sub and everything was amazing. We had the chocolate mousse cake for dessert and it was delicious as well. We will definitely make this a frequent stop!

    Came here after going to three differently restaurants after they all closed early and was not disappointed! This is a newly opened business being run by a husband and wife. All the food seemed very good and my meal was great (I forgot what I ordered). Service was good as well. I would recommend this restaurant for a nice lunch and drink.

    Strawberry Mojito. It's so fresh and not sugary. Very very good.

Ordered a glass of Chianti for me. Hubs and I shared large Caesar salad and spicy specialty medium pizza. Both were absolutely delicious and 9/10. Especially enjoyed the buttery croutons, thin yummy crust, sauce and fresh generous toppings. I visited restroom and it was clean and well-stocked. Very important for any eating establishment. Noticed a separate large area for group seating. Good to know. We are yearly AZ visitors and plan on coming here again. Highly Recommend! ~EG Eats

The drinks are limited if you don't like sweet drinks so I paid full price for a cocktail off the list. When the bill came the price of the cocktail in the receipt was different than was was in the menu on the table. The waitress did change it but a customer shouldn't have to tell you the price is incorrect. The service was good. She checked on us frequently. There was nothing special about the restaurant so I wouldn't go here for date night but I did see other couples there for date night. It's a decent family restaurant.

Fads like chili on everything only serve one purpose, to demolish traditional recipes to align with the now predominant "heat" in everything! We came to celebrate a birthday and have a nice dinner: mission accomplished! Started the evening with cocktails and S.pellegrino water as always. The "Knucklehead" cocktail is bourbon based with bitters and pear liqueur; I had to try the "I'll Guav Another" and Yes, I had another, it's very more-ish :) The service was excellent and our server was on point with descriptions of dishes and the continued service. The ambiance was very similar to restaurants back in Milano, noisy because people were chatting and having a good time. Thankfully there were no sports TV's close by making for a very pleasant evening out. I had the pasta alle vongole (clams) that was very tasty; I would have liked a bit less oil and fresh parsley on top, but I honestly ate the whole thing and even mopped up the lemon and white wine sauce with the crusty bread they served. We call it "fare la scarpetta" in Italian. The other diners had a chicken dish that looked good too but I didn't taste them, was too engulfed in my pasta... We had a really good meal, the company was great, and we left well sated. Will be back when on their side of town !

The owner greeted us warmly and spoke passionately about the menu. We enjoyed interacting with her. We ordered an antelope burger (med rare) with side salad and a gluten free grilled cheese and tomato soup. Both were incredibly satisfying. The food was perfectly prepared and we finished every bite! With such delicious food and wonderfully friendly owner, I was surprised more people weren't beating down the doors to eat at this restaurant! But it does have a dated "old school steakhouse" vibe inside, which isn't exactly the ambiance preferred by our younger generations. We thought it was great, though. Give Il Vinaio a chance! You won't regret it.

(I also have a Chihuahua named Kevin, which is besides the point) They source their meat ethically, and the salmon was wild, the salmon is one of the best. I've had --simple grilled perfection. My friend got the pasta Bolognese, which was delicious with tons of meat Next time I come, I want to try the antelope burger, which the owners great care in sourcing as well This is really a surprising gem in Mesa, as I do not come here since I stay in my 5 mile radius of North Scottsdale. Delicious and friendly, I really enjoyed this dinner
