22 Best Italian Restaurants in Tempe

“Delicious and pleasant, I recommend and we will be back.“

“Everything was delicious!“

“If you have a super picky eater in the family it can make trying new places difficult. But we ordered from The Spaghetti Shack for the first time for a school fundraiser and everyone in the family absolutely loved it and had multiple servings. The sauce was amazing! The meatballs were phenomenal! And the service was super friendly and fast. If you want something that you know everyone will enjoy, this is the place for you!“

“My friend is in town and she has celiac so we were trying to find a good place for her to have variety. We found a recommendation for this place on a gluten-free page. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. I was shocked at how gluten friendly they are, even to the point of having a dedicated oven for the gluten-free pizza us. My friend was overwhelmed with all the amazing options, and absolutely loved that she could pick whatever she wanted. We had the focaccia bread, the bacon, mac & cheese, and the fungi Florentine pizza. Dessert we tried the apple crisp and the tiramisu, both are which are gluten-free. The food was incredible. We will definitely be back.“

“Been to Society about 5 times now and have never been disappointed. Amazing food (The Diablo beef tips and the Evo salad (Kale) is incredible. I never thought I'd say that about kale, but you have to try it to understand. Excellent service and Uber friendly staff too. Highly recommend!“

“This is our favorite pizza amd wings spot in Arizona! We love the ingredients, which we do buy at the grocery store as well because we love it. We typically order the Strawberry Gorgonzola salad, plain wings, and a large meatball pizza. Our children love this place too. We order a large pizza because you can save the pizza for leftovers and it is still great. Drinks.and cocktails are all winners just depends on your taste. Atmosphere is crowded but there's a reason - the food and service a spot on! Make reservations on Friday and Saturday nights otherwise you will regret not doing so. Its a hotspot! The bar area is nice too. We like to go to the one in Tempe, AZ (Rio Solado Pkwy) great service friendly workers. They work hard and are professional 👏 👌“

“Tried the Italian Sausage Sub it was so good. Love the Spaghetti buckets easy for a night you don’t feel like cooking“

“Such a classic, fun place for Chicago-style pizza. We’ve been coming here for almost three decades!“

“The atmosphere is so welcoming and the food is amazing. The owner welcomed us in as if we were old friends. I absolutely love coming here for the huge portions and the wine. Absolutely a wonderful Italian dining experience I highly recommend.“

“This is one of our favorite North Italia locations (it doesn't hurt that it is ten minutes away from our house). The service is always friendly and professional, and we have never had even a mediocre meal here. This last visit I tried the Strozzapreti and it was fab; my husband tried the crushed meatball ragu and it was amazing. We will always come back here!“

“Everything is intentional. Great wine, every selected item carefully placed on the bruschetta. Every olive 🫒 selected carefully. Yum.“

“This spot totally hits the mark when you're craving comfort food. My favorite dish is the mac & cheese. Game… Changer... The cavatappi noodles are the perfect match for that rich, creamy cheese sauce. Like, it’s the kind of dish you think about later and wish you had leftovers lol. It’s a simple thing but I love that they serve complimentary rolls with the pasta because I can eat all the sauce up!
Their pizzas? Always fresh, always fire. I’m vegetarian so I stick to the basics but besides the plain cheese I do also like the White Pizza too. Okay now our fave thing to get before we leave are their cookies. They’re soft, gooey, and just magic, not your average cookie. Trust me, get one (or two).
The staff is super friendly and actually knows the menu and will give great suggestions. Plus, seating inside or out depending on your vibe (and the weather, obvi). Now the only negative we have encountered so far is parking. It can be a bit of a hassle during peak times, because you have to pay and walk a bit but honestly, it’s worth the mini hunt if you can’t get parking up close. Overall, a solid spot and highly recommend to our friends & fam! Sauce Pizza & Wine is the vibe. 🍷🍕🧀🍪“

“I enjoyed a meal consisting of hot wings, pizza, and a Caesar salad. All the dishes were delicious, and the prices were reasonable. The establishment has a welcoming ambiance and a great atmosphere. This was my first visit, and I had a very enjoyable experience.“

“Tara was amazing AND BEAUTIFUL❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️“

“We loved Barro’s Pizza! We were able to customize the pizza exactly how we wanted. They offer different crust options — whether you like it thick or thin — and even have vegan choices, which I think is amazing. Definitely a 10 out of 10!“
