We adore La Famiglia!!! Every time we go there, it is just like walking into Little Italy in NYC. The food is exceptional. We have not found anything better in Arizona for Italian dining and that includes a lot of the ""big name"" restraunts. Their pasta dishes are fresh and al dente and the sauce is like mama made - if you were luck enough tp have an Italian mama!!! They make their own huge, dense meatballs, but the sausage they buy is wonderful, too. We usually order the Baked Ziti and have them slice up an order of sausage and put it into the ziti to bake. It always comes out hot and dripping with cheese without any huge wait time. I have never found the staff, most of whom are related to the owners, to be rude or ill mannered.
Oh, and PS, you must buy at least one order of their ""Garlic Knots"" . They will have you speaking Italian before you finish the first one. Just do not get your cholesterol tested the next day. Actually, you will probably be back at La Famiglia the next day to eat again. Every one we have sent there returns the following day!
Pros: great food, great prices, fresh, fast, and fun
Cons: strip mall style- but hey-- so are a lot of restraunts
