The Best Italian Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"Tucked away in a strip mall near Fountain Hills, intimate, upscale Casa Mia has been flying under the radar for over 20 years, but insiders know just how exceptional this small, family-run operation is. It’s the life’s blood of Danilo Sodano and his adult children Nantas Sodano and Hera Ambrosio, who create classic Italian dishes using organic produce, fresh pasta, and grass-fed beef. Get started with a grapefruit basil martini and the burrata appetizer, embellished with prosciutto, mint, and fig syrup. The pasta is outstanding, as is the elegant saltimbocca." - McConnell Quinn
