I just don't get it.  This has to be the absolute worst Italian restaurant in AZ. Really. I tried Oregano's about 3 years ago and didn't like one bit.  After construing to the rave reviews of how good this chain is we thought we'd give another try. Big mistake.  Maybe growing up in an Italian neighborhood back east where every restaurant was \"homemade\", spoiled me.  The pesto bruschetta was fine, but how can you go wrong with bread, cheese and pesto. Cheesy garlic bread is garlic bread. Then the pizza and the angel hair pasta.  A pepperoni thin crust. Still the worst pizza ever eaten. No taste at all. Reminded me of a thin crust frozen pizza.  The marinara on the pasta was terrible as was the pasta itself.  This just confirms that people in the valley truly do not know good Italian food.\n\nBright spot.  The waitress was absolutely wonderful.
