16 Best Italian Restaurants near Cave Creek

“I went there with a large group (nearly 20) and we had the most wonderful time. The environment felt like a family dinner, the food like a home cooked meal. The highlight was by far the Cesar salad. The staff was amazing and friendly and made it a great night. The even accommodated us on short notice on a Saturday night.

The group I was with had just spent the day commemorating the life of a lost friend and dinner at your restaurant was really heartwarming and healing. Thank you Albert, Roberto and everyone else who served us.“

“This place is fantastic! Service is beyond 5 stars!! Food is outstanding! They treat you like a vip!“

“We live the food at all the Babbo's. We usually go to the one in North Glendale, but we work in Scottsdale and go to the one at the Pavilions often too. This one up North off Tatum is way out of our way, but we randomly decided to go. Food was great, as usual, service was not so great. The lady serving us was snooty, and never smiled. She also didn't come around often to fill out drinks or bread and oil. Location is in a strip-mall. All you can see is a big McDonald's and part of a car wash. It's not as nice as the others we frequent, but better than the one off 12th Street. That one has the worst atmosphere.“

“Amazing service from the hostess to the waitresses and the food there is made with a love and flavor i havent had before! Take a trip and pay your compliments to the chef! This restaurant is amazing!!! i would highly recommend the ragin cajun chicken“

“A great neighborhood pizza place! They serve pizza by the slice for lunchtime at a great price. Barro’s on Cave Creek Rd is very supportive of local school groups like our high school band, and always willing to host a restaurant night to help us out. (Fast turn on getting the turnout numbers and check too) We absolutely love our local Barro’s Pizza! And yes, of course the pizza is delicious. Win-win for everyone, and scrumptious pizza. 🍕🍕❤️❤️“

“The pizza and salad were really good but the mango-habanero wings were to die for 😋. Really impressed will the great service and the cozy comfortable neighborhood vibe. Cheers to the owners 🍻“

“We where a party of 8 celebrating my birthday. All of dinners where different and each one was very good and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and just at the right pace. Thank you Giordano’s we enjoyed“

“Friendly, delicious and timely. I love this place!“

“A local staple under new ownership, Lorenzo may not be in the kitchen, but the great dishes are frankly better! He was always a little heavy handed with the salt, sorry. Portions are huge, menu is expensive, and the service is perfect. Nothing fancy, but just great, dependable Italian fare, at family friendly prices. Our favorite, once again!“

“OMG. The best food ever. Lovely Owner. I highly recommend. ❤️❤️❤️ love you Gigi“

“Nick's is my goto Italian restaurant. There are a lot of Italian restaurants in Scottsdale but Nick's stands out because of the consistency and classic Italian entrees. Their gnocchi is the best I've had outside of Italy. My favorite entrees are the veal picatta, Marcela and parmasean.

Their tiramasu is the best I've had anywhere.“

“we continue to visit Spiga without disappointment. the food is is prepared beautifully with portions large enough to share. I shared the evening special of Piccata style Branzino. We appreciated the manager visiting our table to check to make sure we were happy with our our meal as well as the server. this small touch is meaningful when making a restaurant choice. We are always greeted with smiles upon arrival and when leaving.“

“The pizza was delicious! The people in the kitchen are hard working, most of them family members. I wasn’t impressed with the hostess, or a couple waitress, although others were great. Being in the Restaurant business for yours it’s just really hard for me to watch somebody just stand around, especially when there’s dirty, filthy areas that could be clean, even just the top of tables and condiments.
We did enjoy the pizza, we might order to take out. I was a bit disgusted by the attire that a couple people wore. I think you need to be more presentable when you’re working with the public. Not just my opinion.
I JUST——-“

“I travel to Italy several times a year. This place is the closest thing to authentic Italian food you will find in Arizona. Everything is made in house from the motzzarella to the pasta, all made on premises. Unheard of in today’s restaurant world. The pizza is the best I have had in Arizona hands down. All the kitchen staff are Italian and the prices are very reasonable. Anyone that gives this place less than 5 stars should be ignored.“

“I'ts like going back home to Chicago!!! Square cut, lots of sauce and seasoning... XOXOXO!!!!“
