- OTOpenTable DinerVIPChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoEvery 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 backMore infoÉlephante ScottsdalePrice: Moderate• Italian• North Scottsdale•4.7
- KKendall MassiVIPPhoenix / Arizona •14 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAmazing food, without seed oils! I'll take a restaurant like that any day over your average, over priced, mediocre food! Worth the wait! Waited about 35 minutes even with a reservation on a Thursday night, but it's that good and we will definitely be back! Cool vibe, different cocktails and the Bison is TDF! Can't wait to go back for Tomahawk Taco Tuesday! Definitely try The Ends, you will not be disappointed in the upscale quality of their food!

- LLeeVIPChicago / Illinois •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe 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.More infoFat OxPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Central Scottsdale•4.7
- KKarenVIPPhoenix / Arizona •14 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoAnother successful dining experience at the Italiano. We opted for the Festival of the Fishes which was a special 5 course meal. Loaded with seafood, and other dishes..the only dish you pick is the entree. I ordered the Swordfish even to the server said it wasn’t her favorite, but out of the other 3 choices it sounded good. The description didn’t match what I received tho.. It looked like 3 rolled up breadsticks. The actual swordfish was very thin and wrapped around some ground Saleme…it didn’t look appealing at all. Would not suggest or tbe menu needs to be more clear. Everything else was very good, except the weird sticky cookie type crackers they served with the Rainbow cake for dessert.More infoThe ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• North Scottsdale•4.5
- SScottPhoenix / Arizona •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoFood for five persons were very good with great services and hospitality.We ate our dinner at five pm and the outdoor dining area were pretty dark as there are no ceiling lights but do have small table LED light lamps and under bench lighting. Some of us had hard hard time reading the menus with low lights but was managed somehow. We will go there again with better daylights.More infoThe Mission – Old Town ScottsdalePrice: Moderate• Latin American• Old Town Scottsdale•4.6
