Restaurants near Mogollon Rim

Thanksgiving dinner. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously. First of all, it's a beautiful space; comfortable tables, tasteful color scheme and excellent lighting. Larger room than we envisioned. We opted for the Pasta Fagioli as our appetizer; "sidebar"....we had dinner several weeks ago at Volare in downtown Chicago and thought the Pasta Fagioli was the best we had ever had. It was remarkable at The Italiano and is the new standard bearer. For dinner we had the NY Strip Steak Parmigiano and the Fleet and Sausage Cacciatore. Both outstanding and cooked perfectly. Surprisingly, they don't offer a simple pasta as a side dish (which my wife likes) but the chef accommodated. Also delicious. If we have a small complaint it would be with the attentiveness of the server. Nice man and very helpful, when requested. Otherwise, we waited too long to have our table cleared and leftovers boxed. Small issue but there is little room for error at these price points. Great wine list. We enjoyed the 2023 Balade Pinot Noir ($85). Before tip, all in, $240. We look forward to dining at the Italiano again. I should mention the beautiful lounge area and piano player. Perfect.

WE had the best experience at Dominick's for a team business dinner. I had requested a quiet area and they were able to make this work for us, which I extremely appreciated. Nick, our waiter for the evening was INCREDIBLE! His recommendations were fantastic and accurate. Love how they are a good team and they work together to give out an excellent customer service. Definitely will be returning in the future. Thank you for the amazing service and experience.

Our server Olivia was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She attended to our needs at a very high service level and recommended us some great options to try.

The hostess was so warm and welcoming when we showed up. The food and service was phenomenal!!They had live music but it wasn’t too loud. It was such a great experience and we’re definitely going back. Be sure to make reservations!

Had a wonderful dinner with family! The filet was outstanding as was the seafood trio. Service was top notch!
