Fantastic little Italian restaurant. My wife and I sat at the bar. Bartender recommended the special mozzarella dip, calamari, and lasagna. We shared all three and left with enough food for lunch tomorrow. All the staff was nice. Bartender was attentive and makes a killer espresso martini.

Stopped in last minute on Wednesday night for dinner- outstanding! The service was top notch, welcoming and friendly. Compliments to the chef on his AMAZING braised short ribs w/ perfect sauced noodles. We will be back.

The Blind Pig has been on my list for months now after meeting the owner at the Uptown Farmers Market and hearing about their great dishes! I loved the atmosphere in the restaurant, it felt like a true authentic hidden gem in the heart of Scottsdale.The Lasagna is a must have, we couldn’t get enough of the huge portion we were given. My personal favorite was the bucatini all'amatriciana, a delicious pasta with guanciale that was a special that evening. We shared a bunch of dishes and left with a lot of leftovers! I will be going back here soon.

We came here for my husband’s birthday dinner tonight. Unfortunately, the service and atmosphere was quite underwhelming. I’ll preface the review by saying that all of the food that we ate was very good, no complaints on the quality of the food. Unfortunately, they were already sold out of one of the appetizers, one entree, and two of the desserts that we were looking forward to having. It took a very long time to get our drinks and our entrees. We were also seated near the bar and when our waitress put in my order for an espresso martini, the bartender responded with “are you f-ing kidding me”. We didn’t feel welcome or taken care of at all. We won’t be going out of our way to come back. I definitely would not recommend celebrating a special occasion here.

Breakfast burrito made no sense.. said red sauce actually marinara sauce , just didn't blend well. Drinks were good food I wasn't happy with.

The food was fabulous and the staff treated us like family! The 14 layer lasagna with homemeade pasta and 3 meat marinara was a show stopper and absolutely delicious. I took 3/4 of it home as it was over 6 inches high. The short ribs over pasta were fork tender and melt in your mouth with the richest beef flavors. Save room for the best Tiramisu around. It is the perfect combination of sweet and creamy without being too much. This is a true Italian experience!Vegetarian options: They offered a risotto special and other pasta dishes that were customizableDietary restrictions: My daughter was worried about not being able to find a gluten free option, but she ordered the rigatoni with a gluten free pasta and I couldn't tell any difference. It was amazing!

What a beautiful family owned restaurant! The food, service, and ambiance were all phenomenal. Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants we’ve ever been to, including in Italy.

This is the real-deal NY Style Italian Food!I'm from South Philly and a bit of an Italian food snob, this place delivers, can't lose. Tips for you:- It's small (nice patio however) so definitely call for a table, no on-line reservations yet so call- The portions are big- The Lasagna is the largest I've ever seen- They make their own bread, pasta noodles and mozzarellaWe had the Linguini & Clams, and my Wife had Bolognese both are just awesome.Parking: Tons of free parking right there.

I recently dined at this restaurant and had an absolutely amazing experience. The food was delicious, the service from Natalia was top-notch, and the ambiance was perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Definitely deserving of 5 stars! We even had Chef Seth check on our table!!
The best Italian restaurant we’ve been to here in Scottsdale! We were a party of 6 and had a wonderful time. Food, best ever, & service, par none. Prices fair for the huge servings you get. We got to take half of our portions home to enjoy again!

Waited at the host sign to be seated for about 8 min, had absolutely nobody come up to us. A family later approached and also waited, they were approached within the first couple seconds they arrived. We were walked past and ignored the whole waiting time. Other people came up and also left immediately afterwards. They were not that busy so i’m not sure as to what happened here.

First visit my husband had the lasagna said it was very good. Our waitress was lost, never received our appetizer service was slow, super slow my shrimp scampi was severely over cooked and dry, worst dish I have ever had! Will pass on a repeat visit not worth the price.
