Reviewed: Rosso Italian, new Pomo Pizzeria sister restaurant

• Short rib tagliatelle: This perfectly balanced blend of melt-in-your-mouth beef, mild tomato sauce and al dente noodles is topped with a generous dollop of creamy cheese.
• Burratella pizza: This wood-fired pie is loaded with spicy soppressata, mozzarella, burrata and a delightful combination of local honey and chili threads.

The verdict: The tagliatelle was one of the best pasta dishes I've had in Phoenix, and I'll be back to try the cacio e pepe spaghetti and burrata gnocchi.

• The pizza's flavors were spot on, but I found the pie a bit soggy. I'll be sticking to the original Pomo Pizzeria for my future wood-fired cravings.
