   Delicious food and attentive service!! Can’t go wrong with short rib on top of creamy polenta. The linguini and clams were also delicious as was the caesar salad. We ended our meal with scrumptious tiramisu, spumoni cake and fresh pressed Italian coffee. We will definitely be back.

   If you're looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience, this place is a must. From the moment we walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere set the tone for an exceptional evening. The staff was incredibly attentive—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the food and service. Every dish was a standout, The cocktails were a 10!! The ambiance elegant, making it ideal for both date nights and special gatherings. A true gem—can’t wait to come back!

   The Italiano was good but I felt somewhat average. Our server was attentive, informative and friendly. It can get loud due to live piano playing. There wasn’t anything bad to report but I don’t think I would go back unless I happen to be in the area.

   We really enjoyed the food and service. Unfortunately, we could barely hear our table mates once the piano started—and we were struggling before that to converse over the din. The pasta was homemade and perfectly al dente. The desserts were amazing. We would return perhaps if we could get a quieter table far away from the piano.

   The food was delicious and the restaurant is beautiful. It’s a little loud and it was hard to talk to the group we brought. The server was nice and attentive. The problem I had was that is was a 2hr 15min meal. Our reservation was at 5PM on a Sunday. It got busy after we had been there for about an hour. It took way too long. The people behind our table came in after us and left before us. We waited 15 mins to get the check and then had to wait for it to be processed

   First time dining. Arina our server was very attentive. Eddie the manager sat down and had a chat with us. All the staff we came in contact with couldn't help us enough. While we waited outside for our table to be ready a staff member even brought us complimentary Prosecco. All of these things made us feel appreciated. Most importantly the food was delicious.

    Excellent menu, food, service and ambience. The piano player is a real plus, The noise level was elevated, but not so bad that you couldn't hear your table mates. The craft cocktails were delicious. The wines by the glass list is fine, but could use some sprucing up with more Italian varietals as does the wine list in general. It is not a great wine list. From apps to dessert, the food was a 10 out of 10. The four of us all had our favorites from the mussels, to the peppers, from the veal parm to the petrale sole, and not to forget the excellent pastas. It is a very classy restaurant, but on a very busy Friday night, it was pretty clear that there is no dress code, which for me was a tad disappointing. What an excellent addition to the Scottsdale dining scene.
