From all of the exterior vegetation, you probably wouldn't be surprised if you learned that this was an actual garden. The big tree out front probably has a history of its own. But you can't walk into this restaurant believing that you're not going to have a good experience.

One of the most important things, the marinara sauce, can either make or break an Italian meal -- Their sauce made it as far as taste goes, but it was a little watery.

They serve Pepsi, not Coke, and you know that's important. The interior is perfectly lit, nicely decorated, and very clean. That is, until you get their crispy bread crumbs all over the table.

As I have been for several years, I will continue to go back.

Riazzi's is located at 2700 S. Mill Ave in Tempe.
