Good pizza. Their Pizzicata reminded me a bit of Rome style pizza although the pie crust is thicker. Portions are decent and service is good. All around good real Italian style restaurant and priced reasonably for the times.

Excellent food, great service, wonderful atmosphere. A group of us had dinner on the deck overlooking the golf course. The pizza (even the low carb stuff) was amazing. Follow-up visit with friends and it was even better!

My BFF treated me to lunch on my birthday 2 days ago. It was a perfect day for lunch on the patio. Food was fabulous as usual. We shared an appetizer, Frito Misto; I had Wagyu meatballs, she had Gnocchi Sorrentina, Tiramisu for dessert plus a freebie dessert as well. Got a small pizza to go(meat lovers). Everything was outstanding, including the service from our Italian waiter.

Our first visit was last night. We ordered the Travolta wood fired pizza and a bottle of wine. Our server, Spencer, did a good job taking care of us. The restaurant was remodeled to achieve a feel of Italy. I would give it another visit to try some other items on their menu!

Amazing pizza with an amazing view! It's prime patio season and the Pizzicatta at Painted Mountain golf course has one of the best. They serve two different styles of authentic Italian pizza, both out of a fancy pizza oven straight from Italy. Each bite is bursting with authentic taste from fresh ingredients. Next to the pizza, the meatballs are my favorite thing on the menu, but I've yet to try anything that I don't like. The homemade pasta and deserts are also delicious.

Sitting on an outdoor patio , January with a view of the golf course and mountains beyond and great food to come. Three of us came for lunch and wound up with neopolitan style margherita pizza . Crust was awesome, tight with a great chew. Well cooked and ample sauce to cheese ratio... it's the proportion folks. I like mine a little stiffer on the crust but I ate the entire thing, followed by ice cold peroni in a glass. Service was perfect.. lovely server, good knowledge ( I mean he hails from Umbria) And he knew how to bring food with a flourish. Grazie, prego, you get the idea. And the basil on the pizza is not scorched to ash, thank you. It's placed on the pizza out of the oven. We spent two hours chatting relaxing, Italian style. No push to change over the table, no hanging out for the end of our luncheon. This was service , perfect service!!! And the view, and the food. Epic!

We had heard good things about this restaurant and came here for dinner. They had a very extensive menu. Pasta made in house, amazing pizzas and Pinsa which is an old Roman pizza idea. We ordered the meat lovers pizza, the Regina Margarita pizza, a salad, and the Arancini. Everything was very good. The pizza, both of them. Were absolutely incredible ! They have a fabulous pizza oven here in the restaurant that must be magical. The pizza specialist is Chef Matteo. We sat on the balcony which overlooked the golf course. As the sun went down, The gentle lights come on. ( See Photos )They had live music outside, not too loud but , a nice volume. We also had a great server, Zach. We got to meet the owner, a real Italian from Italy and the pizza chef. Also Italian. We found the restaurant is amazing. The ambience is beautiful. So excited to have good pizza in Mesa.

To toast my 900th review on Yelp, I knew I needed to do something a little special and go with someone to celebrate. Who better than my Yelp Bestie/Cousin Chelsey H.?! This location has been bookmarked to try as I saw a Yelp friend review and saw they had Caprese. If you know me, you know I'm a Caprese aficionado and always looking to see who locally has the best Caprese! When you pull into the very large parking lot, you will want to enter from the right side labeled patio. It can be a little confusing as we walked to the left as it was labeled restaurant, but it was the golf resort side. Once we entered, the hostess was very friendly and asked if we wanted a window view which was a nice touch. Genuinely amazing how beautiful the view was as we both witnessed a sunset and the rolling in of a monsoon storm. The beauty of Arizona in the summer! To start the meal, we began with Caprese which despite the menu I didn't realize didn't come with balsamic. Shame on me for not reading it fully lol. I personally love balsamic glaze and/or balsamic vinegar, so we asked the waitress (receipt says Serena - we didn't catch her name sorry!) who grabbed a bottle which added the little something I felt it missing (personal preference). Before we could even finish the caprese salad, the beautiful vegetariana pizza came out. Pictures do not do it justice as this pizza was perfectly crunchy and the vegetables cooked perfectly! Since we were on a roll, we ended the night with the brownie that's topped with vanilla gelato and whipped cream. Though the texture didn't seem quite brownie-like, it was incredibly rich and delicious! Ended the meal on a sweet note. Definitely recommend this location if you are in the area, and when I have a craving for good pizza then I'll drive the 10 miles from my house to try this place again!
