Case: This one rounds out my selection of pizza shops in Laveen.  They all get one star, although I think I will now go back and modify my rating of Duner's, which is the only locally owned place for za nearby, to reflect that it's at least better than Domino's, Pizza Hut, and Little Ceasar's.  The only redeeming quality about Domino's is the ease of ordering and delivery.  Thank goodness I won't have to change out of my snuggy to get pizza at home!

Case: I've been to Geisha a few times now and I'm a huge fan. They have delicious, creative, fattening (yes, I like cream cheese in my sushi you haters), funny named, fantastic sushi rolls. One has fritos on it for god's sake...this place is all-American. \n\nI won't go into detail on how amazing the sushi is, but it is. Lots of things to choose from and if you're not a super big sushi person, this is prob a great place to try out b/c the rolls are very mild. \n\nMy fav part of this place is their infused sake. You get an entire carafe for $8...great deal in Old Town. I've had mango, pineapple, pomegranate and apple. All were good, but mango was the best. They also have some delish cocktails that knocked me on my ass pretty quickly...highly suggest. Another perk - the waitresses are actually really nice. Skanky, yes. But extremely nice and helpful. I don't expect that from a place like this in Old Town. \n\nGreat people watching and great music plays throughout the bar/restaurant...give this place a try, you'll like!

Case: The food was great, especially for being a trendy spot. I highly recommend the the prosciutto, the Ravioli, and the lamb. If you like NYC's Little Italy dining, then you will enjoy this experience.\n\n\n- Maurizio Maranghi -

Case: When we went to check in, it turned out I had made a mistake with the reservation-- I had put my boyfriend's first name, but my last name. Seems like a minor mistake, but the guy checking us in flipped out and even CUSSED AT US. Wow. Nice hospitality... the F word really makes checking in so much easier. The manager ended up coming over and fixing the situation, but check in took forever. Anyways, we stayed in one of the basic rooms. It was tiny but cute looking on first glance. The carpet had a few minor stains that I didn't notice until later. I was grossed out by a brown stain on one of the \""under-blankets\"" (not the bedspread, but the blanket under it). Flatscreen TV was crooked. Bathroom was good size and clean, but there was no fan, so if you like taking long steamy showers, you might have a problem. Housekeeping was constantly on us about cleaning our room. They kept calling our room or knocking on our door, even when we had the privacy sign up. Every morning, the maids would try speaking to my boyfriend in Spanish. Good things about the room included the safe, the full size hair dryer, the iron + ironing board, and the lit magnification mirror in the bathroom (good for applying your show girl makeup before hitting the nightlife).  The casino is attractive, happening,  and the dealers are friendly. I won some good money at the black jack tables & roulette was pretty cool too. However, all together, I would not return to this hotel... it just isn't worth the price.

Considreing the above, classify the following: I went here for lunch with a friend last week.  I had heard good things about this place and being very hungry for Mediterranean food, I decided I needed to try it.\nIf you want authentic, freshly made, honest to goodness home made food, this is the place.  I had the gyro platter and it did not disappoint.  I over-ate and still took home half which ended up being lunch for my husband AND me the next day!  The meat was delicious, well seasoned; the rice was excellent and the salad was fresh, tossed with OO and lemon juice with salt, truly the Mediterranean way to dress a salad.\nI truly enjoyed the food.  This place is a gem!
