   We were here for my wife’s birthday. Just two of us. We sat on the outdoor patio where there are ample heaters if needed. Plenty of space between tables for an intimate dinner. Our waiter was very attentive and was always there to help or fill our wine glasses. We ordered the eggplant appetizer which was delicious. My wife had the Margarita Pizza. It was very Italian, thin and simple. Barely any basil (one little piece per slice) but enough for one person. I had baked pasta with no meat. It was very tasty and I could eat only half of the order. We will definitely be eating there again. One thing I wanted to share is that they have a great looking bar with lots of seating and a few tv’s. It will be a good place to stop in have a cocktail in the future.

   Took a chance, wanted Italian food and looked for restaurants in the Scottsdale area. Landed at Sfizio. Weather was nice, and we asked if we could move our reservation to the patio. Patio heaters were on, but not terribly uncomfortable. Our waitress came and was super nice and friendly. We started with the Bruschetta, which was amazing and flavorful. I am sensitive to garlic, so Italian isn't normally my jam, but this appetizer was flavored perfectly. We then tried two main dishes, a Prosciutto and Arugula Margarita pizza, and a Vodka Sauce Penne Pasta dish. The pizza was very good, the crust firm and soft. The pasta was AMAZING. The Vodka sauce was perfection, and a dollop of Ricotta topped it off. We added Italian Sausage to ours, and all of it was delicious. You could taste how fresh the entire dish was, and it really showed. We wrapped it up with dessert, my wife got the Limoncello, and I had the Tiramisu. My wife was in love with her cake, and I was in love with mine. Both were easy 5/5. My only ding on the entire experience is that the patio is situated right next door to a noisy restaurant. I'll sit inside next time. Can't wait to bring the whole family.

   Sfizio’s is a wonderful place for casual dining. Service is great and the food is awesome. I never wonder if I am going to have a good dining experience there when I make a reservation. Love it!

   This was my second time there and it didn’t disappoint. The owner greets you like you’re coming into his home as a friend for dinner. The waiter was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. I brought my very savvy foodie daughter and son in law. They loved everything about this experience. I won’t go to another Italian restaurant moving forward. This tastes like Italy. Love, love ,love!!

   We were so thankful we chose Sfizio for a large client dinner. Every detail was taken care of and our clients were so impressed. Many of them have not stopped commenting about how good the food was. Thank you Sfizio for making us look so good in front of our clients! We will back!

   Made reservation for 25th anniversary dinner. no one mentioned our anniversary. that's ok; would've been nice to see they actually pay attention to reservation remarks. Dinner was good but not as great as last time. The sauce seemed to lack a certain depth to the flavor. Antipasti board was good however for 2 people it didn't divide evenly and should have come w/evoo& herbs(for dipping); everything is a la cart, doesnt come w-salad or bread. but will definitely be back for the new menu

    The entree food was delicious since you could tell it was homemade. Alcoholic drinks were very pricey and the dessert which was a plate of three cannolis was a bit over baked. It was also a little disappointing that neither a salad or even bread was included in the entree price. Service though was exceptional.
