Must have a new cook. My pizza was too dry to eat. I have had this pizza before and was looking forward to it. Salads and appetizers were good though. And no, a complimentary desert that I did not want and did not eat did not make up for the pizza.

Spiga consistently has great food and great service. Over the years, I have often had Italian food that was servicable but Spiga is definitely a cut above for almost anything you might try. And our server was attentive but discreet. Just perfect! Thanks.
One of our favorite places to eat in north Scottsdale! The food is always excellent and the servers are great as well. We recommend Spiga's to all of our visiting guests and local friends.

Nice restaurant but disappointed we could not sit on patio. How do we request that with an Open Table review? Disappointed in artichoke. I was split in half One half was hot and one half cold. It was served on what looked like Miracle Whip. We had to ask for bread which was readily provided to other customers. Chicken Parm was good as was wife's pizza. Service on entrees was rushed Waitress was a young lady with blonde and black hair. She needs more training. Restaurant not as good as it was and has slipped a notch or two.

Always a great meal at Spiga. Service was a little slow, but it was Friday night and very busy, the team did great considering the amount of diners. We eat regularly at Spiga, it's our walk to local. How lucky we are!
Food and service was outstanding. Our server, Claudia, was an absolutely delightful Italian gal. But unfortunately, the noise level was off the charts. Very difficult to have a conversation. Might try outside next time.
The food was fresh and well prepared. We really enjoyed our server who was attentive and very friendly. I prefer pasta al dente in the Italian style which is a bit more firm than typical in american restaurants.

Our food was very good and the service was also. We sat inside and it was extremely noisy inside. Couldn't even hear each other at the table and the waitress had to shout in order for us to hear her. Will go back for the food but only if we can be seated on the patio.
The food was great, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh and of high quality. The staff was friendly and attentive, with reasonably quick service all around. The only negative was that this may have been the loudest restaurant I have ever been in. We had to lean in to hear our waiter, and practically yell to talk with one another. Would come here again, but probably only during a non-busy time so as to avoid the noise. Maybe better for a big group, but not the right environment for a date night.

Nice evening. Hiccup w my order as no disclosure of “vegetables” was made while my profile disclosed a bell pepper allergy. They quickly recovered and remade my dish with new vegetables. All good
This was our second visit to Spiga. Unfortunately the expectations fell short. We were seated in the bar for a drink prior to dinner. There was a loud presumably regular seated at the bar next to us - that both bartenders felt the need to engage and attend to. We moved to dinner to be disappointed our request for patio dining was not honored. Our main dishes were served unusually quick, with the pasta being under cooked in one dish and the chicken parmesan was partially adorned with red sauce and what appeared to be two slices of provolone. For the price point we were disappointed. The kind waitress did comp desert.

Very nice place, great patio setting with large bar. Octopus appetizer was great. Procutto pizza with fig was outstanding at a fair price.

Very pricey for lunch and what you get. Food just okay. One of our diners loved the bolognese that the waiter recommended, the other two pastas were deemed to be just okay. The salad wouldn't be ordered again. Two of the diners eating pasta said they were hungry a couple of hours later. The agnolotti were sparse in a giant dish of sauce. $200 lunch, that's crazy. No wonder the place was almost empty. Great ambiance sitting outside. Friends have said this place is a favorite. It's our third try as we went previously during covid and thought we might be unfairly judgmental and they may not have had enough staff.

My husband and I both loved our meals! From the garlic bread to the server, salad and wine to start everything was wonderful. I loved my Bolognese and my husband raved about the chicken parm. It was difficult to have a conversation though due to the excessive noise. We joked with the couple next to us we should just text rather than try to talk. It was that bad!! The ONLY disappointment was when it was time for dessert. We were both full and they knew the next day was our 40th wedding anniversary. We simply said we'd have a scoop of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and 2 spoons. We thought it might be comped and of course were fine either way, but the $12 scoop of ice cream just kind of deflated our experience! We've never seen a charge like that and we have traveled and eaten at the finest establishments. They blew it there with us but don't let that be a deterrent!
