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!“

“We had an amazing experience. Food was top quality, service was above and beyond, and we felt like we were special guests. Bread with pesto was just the start of an amazing palette pleasing evening. Recommend the Sangria and Limeoncello. Highly recommend. We had a group of six, some vegetarians and were easily accommodated.“

“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.“

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

“very good food and service !“

“Amazing food!! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for authentic Italian food!!“

“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.“

“Enjoyed lunch today, from bruschetta to marinara parmigiana everything was delicious. Server Morgan S was friendly and helpful. Worth the trip from east valley!“

“There were 5 of us the food was excellent“

“We went Friday night because it was well rated and close. We returned Saturday night because it was awesome! Burrata with prosciutto, fresh peach, cherries, balsamic, honey and fresh mint. Gorgeous and delicious. The seafood cannelloni is a rare find and was extraordinary. Chicken parm - often the worst of banquet dishes, proved it can be an exceptional dish. The peach cobbler was a delightful finish. The staff is efficient and communicative without hovering or being overbearing. Oh, and the $21/bottle wine special cab was the deal of the decade. When we're back in Scottsdale we'll return.“

“Crust is a FABULOUS restaurant to go to,! We used to just go EVERY Friday to start our weekends however, we have now progressed to Sundays and throughout the week as well! The food is ALWAYS CONSISTENTLY Delicious! THE New dishes that are added to the menus are AMAZING,!! THE BEST Part IS...the staff, the managers as well as the wait staff are AMAZING!! THEY ARE OVERLY FRIENDLY AND JUST SIMPLY AWESOME!! As I stated before,the food is prepared to your liking in a DELICIOUS AND FABULOUS MANNER!! WE HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Crust....infact ALL THE Locations ARE GREAT!! WE TRY to visit all of the locations.....Each one is different, however the food is ALWAYS OUTSTANDING AND PLEASANT AND INVITING. WE LOVE CRUST And ALWAYS LEAVE WITH A SMILE ON OUR FACE AND TOTALLY SATISFIED!!“

“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“

“the Cioppino is to die for!!“

“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!“

“Great food, It's a local spot for sure. Pizza and appetizers are really good. I started off with sausage pizza. The crust is crispy, light and soft. Probably one of the better pies I have had in AZ. Wine selection is good, margaritas very yummy! Had a few, easy to drink! The house made ricotta on bread with figs and pistachio was a favorite. Gnocchi a little tuff, not so pillowy as they should be, however the sauce with them and shrimp was well prepared. Atmosphere is nice. The smell of the wood burning oven is lovely.“

“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 .“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“We had dinner here on a Monday night to celebrate an anniversary. The food was delicious, the homemade noodles were phenomenal. Truly the best fettuccine I have ever had. Staff was kind and patient while I took forever to decide. My only regret is not grabbing a cocktail!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“The cold melon soup was amazing, the ossobuco was very good as it was served in medallions with the bone as part of the presentation and to enjoy the marrow. Don't forget dessert, I enjoyed the pistachio dessert. Very enjoyable evening and atmosphere.“

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

“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..“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“My party of four had a lovely dinner to celebrate a couple of birthdays at the table. I'd never before been to Evo and was pleasantly surprised. I liked the feel of the restaurant, from the decor to the music. Kayla was our server -- she was so friendly and attentive to our needs. We had the whipped feta with honey appetizer and it was delicious! A friend ordered ravioli that was made in-house and she loved it. Two others had the buratta salad and raved about it. My Caesar salad , minus a protein add-on, was pretty basic. I was so pleased to be prompted by Open Table when making the reservation to specify that ours was a birthday celebration. Kayla surprised our honorees with a petite chocolate mousse dessert complete with a candle. Such a sweet and generous touch. I'm absolutely returning but eill indulge in something more tempting than the Caesar next time.“

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

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

“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“

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