50 Best Italian Restaurants in Scottsdale

“Amazing place!!! True Italian!!!!!“

“This is the first time that I got a decent salad to go and not have it be just a little handful of lettuce and not much else. I've always been disappointed and I love their salads when I'm there. Their Pizza still didn't have very much toppings it was mostly just the pizza which bummed me out they do better when you're there in person which shouldn't be the case. But I am so grateful for my decent looking salad this time I'm really happy. When you can't go wrong with spinato's flavor.“

“We had NO IDEA where to go for a quick bite on our way to a trail race at McDowell State Park. Google suggested this was on the way (hmm... not really!!) We were TOTALLY shocked this is a clubhouse for a golf course! We were wearing hiking gear 😀. The food was very tasty. We really enjoyed the salad-- good size portion. We also ordered the meatballs (great spicy marinara) and a pizza! Service was very friendly. Not too loud. Clean!!! If we lived closer, we would go again.“

“We are here on vacation and we just had the BEST pizza we've ever had!“

“Service, Food, Wine, They were the Best............. This is a winner folks.“

“Love this place! Nice Local, great food and great staff!!“

“My husband and I love this place . Everything from the salads, meatballs, pizza, soup is all very good . We travel to AZ very often to watch our daughter play softball. I am very sad and disappointed though. I had a pair of AirPod pros that had fallen out of my purse about a month ago . I didn’t realize this . I pushed the find my device and it said they were at Pomos . Two young men said ohh ya we have them they have been here forever . They descried them to me . I said yes those are mine . Then upon getting them out of the bin discovered they were no longer there . Sad that employees are the only ones with access to lost items therefore it had to be an employee take them . They were a gift from my husband so makes me very sad and disappointed.“

“Best sub ever...had and ..brisket sandwich is #1there all food is good fresh..everday“

“Delicious food, and desserts.“

“This cozy little Italian spot had a great outdoor patio and a warm, family-run vibe that I loved. The pasta was delicious, but the service was a bit off with a few things missed, so while I would go back for the food and atmosphere, I’m hoping for better service next time.“

“Excellent food and service!!“

“My husband and I went there for the first time last week and had the most delicious meal! By far my favorite Italian restaurant in the area“

“Omg! Stumbled on this place & seriously AMAZING! Tried the twist ice cream…mind blowing! Got a 4 pack of gluten free muffins & a brownie! Will definitely be back! The best & i mean the kindest, most helpful staff I have ever met! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“the Cioppino is to die for!!“

“We booked at Tommy V's Urban Kitchen as part of AZ restaurant week. We were seated promptly and our server-Jake-was attentive. Our meal was delicious - we enjoyed all of three of the courses. The appetizers of brussel sprouts and the risotto balls were both excellent. Our main courses were the halibut and linguine and the Sea Bass. -both of us had "clean plates". The chocolate mousse dessert was light and a nice finishing touch. We will be back and we do appreciate their participation in AZ restaurant week. We would likely not have tried this but we are glad we did!“

“Our favorite place since moving to Scottsdale! Authentic, charming interior, classy and the food is amazingly delicious! The Management and staff set the tone for the experience of dining here. Rentu (spelling ?) the General Manager delightful and personable and Cody our server for Christmas Eve dinner, superb. 5 stars all the way!“

“I was looking for the soul Cafe and it kind of looked like .that corner.. and looked in and ate. It was very quiet in there but the food was very good. Atmosphere was good.. And after that I found the soul Cafe and I went there for a cocktail...“

“Good food! Favorite was the calamari and sauce“

“Great job with interior design, except the high stool tables in one section, which I'm not fond of . You need to make reservations. Otherwise, be prepared to wait a long time . If you want quick in and out, it's definitely not a place for you .“

“I love the Italian atmosphere and the Friendly service. The Pizza and Margarita was Fabulous. I recommend this Place 100%“

“Enjoyed an amazing meal with Melonie serving amazing food and Hall wine“

“omgoodness!! stopped in tonight for a late birthday dinner and food was AMAZING! Started with the strawberry salad, husband had Chicken scallopini, I had chicken carbonara. Both were fantastic! for dessert, we shared the flourless chocolate torte, which was divine!!“

“Awesome restaurant with great food and great ambiance. This will definitely be our new go to for Italian food. Sauces are made individually by the order so they come out fresh as the food without sitting in the pot just staying warm until needed. Everything was as homemade as could be and the taste said it all.“

“The food, was AMAZING! The service was outstanding! Sit at the bar with Jamel, he is the ultimate character and made our night so special. The short rib arancini...... OMG! Everything was so good and we will definitely be regulars from now on!“

“Food and service are awesome.“

“The food was delicious! The ambiance is their major asset. Perfect for celebrations 💕“

“Came here in honor and recommendation from Charlie Kirk and it did NOT disappoint. Holy cow! How did I not know about this place after living here 16 years! Even got his favorite dish, chicken piccata (which is the “Petto di Pollo Limone”), and I would STRONGLY suggest that for anyone coming here for the first time. Well done staff and chef! Got my go-to spot now for fine Italian dining. RIP Charlie“

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

“Fantastic Italian cuisine and incredible service!“

“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!“

“My friends and I came across La Locanda while walking around Old town Scottsdale. We had their ravioli and gnocchi and they were absolutely delicious! fresh, well portioned plates. The staff were very friendly and the food and drinks came out quickly. The staff were all friendly people and the pasta was fresh and perfect. it was a nice place to break from the hustle and noise of the old town party scene. 10/10“

“LOVE IT♥️ been going here for the past 4 years and the pasta has always been their original shape. I love bringing in the kiddos and let them hand feed m’kaeyo under the tables, he has always been a delight here! ( he Deserves a raise ) the service is friendly and the atmosphere lingers👍 great place for the whole family!“

“for the first time in a long time, I walked out of a restaurant completely satisfied with every aspect of my experience.., and that restaurant was yours. from your server's cheerful attitude, and all-around helpfulness, to the perfectly portioned amout of amazing food. the specialty drinks where delicious and very fairly priced. on a scale of one to ten, this restaurant is easily a ten. treat yourself to a slice of heaven.. thank you..“

“Outstanding food specials and the drink and food menu are regularly outstanding!“

“Monday night spontaneous dinner. Manager greeted us enthusiastically as the hostess was busy making her way back. He was professional and had a wonderful aura about him, checking on our meal as we dined. Meal was lovely. Ambiance was delightful. Service was very basic, maybe even below average. Kailey was a nice person but the finer details were lacking. She came to our table three times, hands empty but not once cleared the side plates from our table, which we had used to share a starter. She also informed us about an ordered dish that was unavailable, long after our orders were initially placed. Even though she was pleasant, she provided the bare minimum. It’s our second time visiting, and we will be back.“

“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.“

“Great food, great service, and great atmosphere!“

“Everything was perfect. I never make that statement in a review, until now. From service to food….it was a great experience.“

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

“Excelente atención y muy rico las ensaladas y pizza“

“We had an amazing lunch at DeFalco‘s today. Brooke, the manager, is an exemplary employee and every single employee there showed how much they cared about their job and their customers. The food was excellent and we will definitely go back thank you De Falco’s.“
