Gianfranco's food is simply delicious. I had a fish special (can't remember details at the moment) and it was very good. But my husband ordered a simple alfredo dish. He says the true test of good italian is to order something simple, and if they do that right, they likely do the rest very well. That alfredo sauce was the BEST alfredo sauce I've ever tasted. YUM. It's close by to our house, so we'll definitely be going back!

I bought a Groupon about a week ago & decided to use it last Friday. I got the same things as before, pulled pork sandwich for me & brats (yes, he wanted 2!) for my hubby. They did add a few new sides, so in addition to beans I also got us the waffle fries. Everything was yummy as usual, I was missing the hunks of meat in my beans but hubby had some in his. I remembered to get some BBQ sauce this time, the sweet one was my fav! I also bought a pound of their bacon. I made it Sunday morning before the Superbowl & man was it good! I have to add that the place was a lot busier this time. It's good to see people supporting local businesses!

The owner and manager are absolutely obnoxious. The owner has private little parties in the pool area (very annoying because guests can't really gather there or would get yelled at) and the manager seems to have no idea what he's doing. The rate range from really cheap per what app/site you go through to insanely pricey especially for that area. They have so many different rates depending on it's remodel status and specials and just because it seems. Most guests actually kind of live there which is apparently illegal because at one moment there were these people monitoring the out of state license plates. The rooms they show on the site / for review are the nicest because they're very artsy, however most of the rooms aren't very nice, old school kitchens and appliances, they think they're being charming - they're not. There's only a couple employees and like one maid? Way too much for a few staff to handle. Sometimes drunks come through in that Scottsdale area so there can be a lot of noise or none at all as it is tucked away. The grounds have trees with rotting fruit that attracts flies, bugs and I think I overheard "roaches" (didn't see any, but gross!), they don't clean up enough which I don't blame because they don't seem organized. NOT a resort, NOT a bed and breakfast, just an overpriced, over glorified crash pad.

Not a sushi bar! They do have some rolls, though. Great menu with all of the Japanese fast food favorites. They make everything on-site and it's cheap. Ideal downtown spot for lunch or early dinner.
