Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Phoenix

Every single staff member I interacted with was so personable and welcoming. It was such a nice experience, especially for being new. Thank you for hiring great people! The host made nice conversation walking us to the table, the server was a so nice and you could tell it was genuine. Her name was Elizabeth I would absolutely ask for her if you visit. The food came out at a nice pace, and the pricing was very reasonable! Absolutely had a wonderful experience and will be back

We always have the best experience here! The food, ambiance and service are impeccable. If you haven't tried it, make a reservation immediately!

We arrived early for our reservation and while we were waiting we found 2 seats at the bar. Since it was comfortable and the same menu was available we decided to eat at the bar. Good choice as Joe was our bartender and was very attentive. We started with the mussels and then I had Gnocchi, which was excellent and my wife had Gigli, also very good. We finished with Tiramisu, which was killer good. Overall a very enjoyable Christmas Day dinner.

Classy atmosphere in Cesars Republic hotel, impeccable service with coordinated plate service by the staff. Three of us started with the arugula salad with crispy prancetta and candied lemons…yum, and the Lemon pizza…fantastic! For entrees the table had the Signature Lemon Spaghetti with shrimp…wow, the Nodi Marini Ala Vodka with a mild arrabbiatta sauce, and the Pan Seared Salmon on a bed of artichokes olives and capers…awesome!. Nice bar and outdoor seating area. Overall, a little pricey but service, food quality, and venue helped to build the value.

Staff was attentive, friendly, professional, and informative. Menu is varied enough to suit a variety of tastes. We all enjoyed our food and drinks. The outdoor patio was lovely and a pleasant temperature on a December evening. Would return and recommend to family and friends.
