Sfizio Modern Italian Kitchen

Cute and intimate Italian restaurant. Located across the street from desert ridge marketplace. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, quick and attentive. The drinks:Definitely try the espresso martinis! Pro tip is to get them with tequila instead of vodka 15/10 delicious. Came out super quick as well! The Italian margarita was definitely interesting, super nutty flavor. Personally didn't love it, but if you want to try an Italian twist on a marg go for it!The food:We started with the truffle garlic bread, it is a MUST. Cheesy with the perfect amount of truffle oil, not overpowering at all. We ordered a second order with dinner. I got the margarita pizza. They have a wood fire store in view of the restaurant, so you know it was delicious. Fresh ingredients, the perfect amount of cheese and crispiness to the dough. The rigatoni vodka was amazing as well. Next time I am getting that for myself and not stealing a couple bites! I will be coming back here!

Very impressed with this restaurant! We went here for a work team dinner and had a great experience. It is a small space so I would recommend making a reservation. We tried a few of the appetizers but our favorite was the burrata! It was creamy and freshly made. For entrees, we loved the lobster ravioli and the chicken parmigiana! The red sauce on the chicken parm had the perfect, savory flavor. Large cocktail and wine menu!

Not bad, not great. It was okay.Got this one delivered for dindin. Loved that the menu is not complicated which makes it easy to choose.Got kid's spaghetti and meatballs, the portion was a small considering something so simple like spaghettiLasagna leaned a little salty and the pasta a little too thick, I still finished it! Just drank more red wine with it. LOLBruschetta I say maybe pass, the fig was waaay off balance, and too sweet. And the vegetable one needed maybe a little balsamic glaze because it ate dry.Italian Farm salad with chicken for additional $ was a little disappointing the chicken was flat stringy pieces, and was drryyyyyyyyy as the AZ weather. I cried a little inside. The Nutella Pizza saved our night that was delish. OK I also have to give all the stars to service, I forgot to check "utensils" when ordering in the app, I called apprehensively asked if there was a way they can add it in our order and they were so nice about it. WIN!

We had three pizzas - two Americanas, a custom one, an order of sautéed vegetables and the meatballs appetizer. Service was a little slow. It took well over 15 minutes to get our meals delivered. The pizzas were very good and came out flaming hot. The crust was very tasty.The side of vegetables had a nice amount of garlic, were well seasoned and perfectly cooked.The problem we had was with the meatball appetizer. It was ordered as part of a meal and it came out not even lukewarm, more like kitchen cold. We asked the server to heat them up and they returned only a few minutes later with the partially eaten meatball replaced with as new one and all were as cold or colder. Not to look like a jerk I ate them anyway however in retrospect I should have returned them again and just eaten some of my better half pizza instead. The small crostini that came with it were also soggy and cold.They must not use thermometers to check temperatures or their holding bin was broken because I' ve never returned cold food to have it brought back as cold or colder. All night long I kept waiting to have stomach problems from it and luckily did not!We'll probably return since the pizza was so good however I'll bring a thermometer next time just in case!

We were in town for just 1 night and went here for dinner w out having any knowledge of it. This place is great! It reminded us of home going to the family Italian place. It's a perfect size place, just a front of house and small kitchen that matches the chef's menu. Service was great and the special was crème brûlée which is the bomb! Great food! Like heading home for dinner.

Great food - absolutely slow and abysmal service. I would recommend this place to go rather than dining in!

My fiancé found this spot when we were out to brunch and we decided to give it a shot tonight. We normally love our old Italian spot Tomasos but this is literally 6 minutes from our house and the menu was small which meant it was probably good.We made reservations for 5pm on a Saturday and wanted a booth which they accommodated but it was a half booth, half not booth situation so I asked if we could get seated at a separate table as the folks next to us was pretty close. Could be awkward in conversations hahaEveryone was really nice and we didn't wait long to be assisted at our table. It is smaller on the inside but they used the space very well. We started with the Bruschetta, you can pick three and we did the traditional, hometown and prosciutto. All 3 were amazing but if I could get another round I would do the traditional and the prosciutto only cause that salty and sweet combo with the fig jam is great. The hometown was good but the spreadable salami was too spicy for me and I normally love a good spice haha!I wanted to try the pizza but already had pizza last night so I got the lasagne and my fiancé got the pasta Tuscan style. The portions were pretty large especially for the lasagne. My fiancé thoroughly enjoyed his meal and for the most part I did too, the lasagne wasn't bad at all but it had a weird after taste. I took the leftovers home regardless. However, I probably should have had the pizza instead as they cook it in a stone oven which is cool! You can see it from my pic! I would suggest they do a small bread basket of Italian bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for folks while they wait for their food. Also, we weren't told what the happy hour was and I don't know if I missed it on the website but lunch had hours and happy hour didn't. All in all, it was a pleasant experience and we will go back to try the pizza and sangria!

I love going here, be it with family or on a date night, the food and atmosphere is excellent! The pasta Tuscan style is a must and the vodka rigatoni is fantastic as well. Service is always well above average and pricing is very fair for the portion size and flavor!

Pizza was great. It was more than enough for 2 people and we did 1/2 and 1/2 so got to taste 2 different flavors. Both pizza and tiramisu were delicious. A bit dark in the restaurant and the vibe is a little too low. Music was extremely loud and service was also just okay. Would return for more Pizza.

I have been here a couple of times and really want to like this place. The staff is nice, but service is really slow and they always seem to be out of certain liquors. I asked for a margarita and they would have to charge me extra because they only had expensive tequila.I had a chicken dish and the chicken was unseasoned and pounded so thin, that it felt like I was cutting into shoe leather.We shared grilled vegetables and they also arrived unseasoned. I was shocked to see that this restaurant uses truffle oil for their garlic bread. Everyone knows that there is no real truffles in truffle oil.The piped in music really kills the fun vibe.
