Italian Spoon - Phoenix

Philly cheesesteak is great and the fries have a great seasoning. Great spot for dinner.

Amazing food here, I don't know why its not more popular

This is a casual restaurant, which I love. Out of all the restaurants in this strip mall, this restaurant is the best one. I tried the restaurant a couple years back and liked it then as well. My break between visits was due to me sleeping on how good this restaurant is. I came in recently for a quick take out dinner. I tried a 5 piece shrimp and chips combination plate and an order of okra. My meal was delicious. The shrimp was butterflied and very crispy. The cocktail sauce was spicy, sweet, and flavorful. The fries were seasoned well. The okra was hot and crispy. The service was good as well. My food came out of the kitchen quickly. I plan to visit this restaurant more in the future to try these items as well as new items. Update as of August 23, 2021: I like the food at this restaurant and the service, but just have a couple of suggestions. Could you please make sure to have someone come out to put in more lighting? The restaurant is a bit too dark. Also, I have noticed from my last visit and previous visits the drinks from the soda machine taste off. I am not sure if it is a machine malfunction or what. The Minute Maid Lemonade does not taste as sweet or as lemony as it should. Also, the Dr. Pepper tastes more like Vanilla Coke to me. This may be something to look into as I do not know how a fountain machine works. Anyway, it is great to see the restaurant is still operating after such a tough year and a half for businesses. I will visit again in the future. Update as of May 30, 2022: I ordered (3) pasta entrees for the first time including Baked Ziti; a Chicken Parmagiana Hot Plate with spaghetti; and Cheese Ravioli. I just tried the Cheese Ravioli and a bit of the sauce from the Baked Ziti and Chicken cutlets. The sauce is delicious. The Baked Ziti was also delicious and filling. I have no doubt that my other entrees will also be good. The servings of pasta are enough for at least two servings per entree. Update as of 07/29/2023: I ordered a hamburger; calamari; (2) orders of coleslaw; and a Mango Snapple on 07/28/2023. Most of my food was good. The calamari was overcooked. It was a dark brown color when I got it instead of golden brown. There was also a couple of pieces of another protein mixed in, which I think were either pieces of the chicken cutlet for the chicken parmesan or chicken nuggets. This was supposed to be one of my last times eating out at restaurants for a while and this one food item made the experience underwhelming. Update as of 08/17/2023: Despite my last experience, I cannot give up on this place. They have great customer service and the food is good 9 out of 10 times. I believe the last visit was just a fluke. I will be back once it is in my budget!

I look for the same thing coming out of the back. And this place has delivered on that. I the meatball gyro. Yummm

Do not dismiss the opportunity to stop in. It was definitely fresh and Italian. Not much space for a family but for two of us I was very impressed with the quality of the baked ziti.
