On the website it said they would be doing a midnight release of the Halo Master chief collection. So when we arrived there at 11:30 we were informed that they wouldn't be doing it. No notice and no warning that it wouldn't be happening. An employee came outside to inform us that they "accepted preorders" but wouldn't he doing a midnight release until a week after the game came out. He was rude, lied and just didn't care. This is why best buy is going out of business and Amazon and Frys taking over.

I like this place as it reminded me of back home in the mid-west...all hillbilly & red neck. Oops JK ;)

This place has AMAZING FOOD! Their chicken chop salad is to die for! They also have some delicious pizza! On Tuesdays it is buy 1, get 1 free. Perfect for a simple night out

Thank goodness that the owners decided to revive this beautiful downtown location and turn it into a far better restaurant than the old cafeteria that used this building before. Il Vinaio is a welcome addition to downtown Mesa. I've visited about a dozen times for breakfast and will continue to be a regular. I haven't had lunch or dinner there yet, but I suspect that the food and service would be consistent with their top-notch breakfast. The staff is friendly and attentive. After a few visits, it was clear that they recognized us and gave us even warmer welcomes. It seems like they genuinely enjoy their jobs. I've had the crepes with blueberries and marscapone (only $6 - take that, Crackers) a couple of times. The fruit is fresh and the crepes are perfectly cooked. It's sweet but wonderfully executed. Lately I've stuck with eggs for breakfast - either the $5 breakfast sandwich on an English muffin with a generous portion of potatoes, or two eggs (I take mine poached, which they do in the traditional style, so no added fat) with potatoes and sausage for about $7. I'm not a fan of potatoes, but I love what they do with them for breakfast. They are oven roasted, slightly crispy, with roasted and almost caramelized onions. The taste is fantastic. I do have a couple of complaints that I hope the owners will work on: 1) Buy some good (hot) tea options. You are a nice restaurant and should have something other than Lipton plain black. Invest in a variety pack with herbal and green teas, plus Earl Grey. 2) Replace your ceiling vents. They're disturbingly unattractive.
