text: We went to Caffe Boa last night for my Mother in Laws birthday It had been years since we were last there and ever since we moved back to Phoenix I have been excited to go back We were however very disappointed The pasta was overcooked and was drowning in sauce My husband and MIL had the rigatoni puttanesca and the sauce was very tomatoy and not very flavorful I had the penne in pesto sauce with chicken and hearts of palm The sauce aside from there being way too much was also very heavy and well gooey I do not know how else to describe it but it was not a dish I would order again The fact that my dish was almost made it feel like even more of a ripoffnnMy feeling is that Caffe Boa is riding on their reputation from years ago when it was goodeither that or it was a really off night We will not be going back there are other great restaurants to explore We will just hang on to the memories of Caffe Boa of the past
