- DDougMinneapolis - St. Paul •7 reviews5.0Dined todayHidden in a small strip mall, that feeling drops away as soon as you enter. Wonderful fresh made pasta and flavorful sauces with a few creative selections. Attentive staff without hovering. Indoor seating area was smaller than I expected but comfortable and it was still easy to converse at a table of 6. Patio about doubles the seating. Limited wine selection but what we had was very good and paired well with the pasta dishes. Lighting was moderately low but still easy to read the menu. Portion sizes were good, several at our table took food home (the others all but licked the plate it was that good). All commented that this was a great find and would be happy to come back.More infoSfizio Modern Italian KitchenPrice: Moderate• Italian• Desert Ridge•4.6

- TTahlyaVIPPhoenix / Arizona •64 reviews4.0Dined on 1 Mar 2025We went after 8 on a Friday. It was surprising that it wasn’t really busy. Cool vibe and liked the lounge seating areas. We had appetizers- fried chicken sliders and Philly cheesesteak egg rolls. Both very good. Has the strawberry mule- also good. Would be better as a hangout with friends than dinner date.More infoChauncey SocialPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• North Scottsdale•3.7
