Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Italiano offers "exceptional food," a "beautiful interior," and "impeccable service." Guests rave about standout dishes like the short rib lasagna and tiramisu. While the ambiance is vibrant, some note it can be "very loud." A perfect spot for a "beautiful date night" or special occasion. Reservations recommended.

    Had a wonderful anniversary dinner. Kenneth took great care of us and we had a chat with Eddie, who made sure that our evening met all of our expectations. Marty had chicken parm and I had the vodka pasta. Both dishes were excellent. The Caesar salad is special and one of the best in this city. Overall this is a great restaurant.

    We have traveled extensively throughout Italy and this restaurant is as good or better than many 5 star ones there! Best Italian restaurant in Scottsdale/Phoenix in our opinion; portions very generous; service is outstanding!

    We had the Italiano salad and the Cioppino Seafood Tower. The Cioppino was excellent, it had mussels, shrimp, fish, clams and calamari and all were perfectly cooked. Salad was also delicious and big enough to share. I would highly recommend the Cioppino since the broth went well with all the seafood, it was perfectly prepared. Service is rapid yet do not feel rushed.

    The food was prepared exquisitely and the service was excellent! The manager came to our table several times to ask if everything was perfect and if he could assist us any way. Atmosphere was friendly and lively!

    Very mediocre food, but good for the older crowd, the cart presentation needs a lot of work

    The ambiance is lovely and the food was delicious. I was not impressed with the service from our waiter who seemed a little inattentive. For the price of the entree, I expected a vegetable along with the pasta side. Instead we were told the pasta side doesn’t include a vegetable along, only the potatoes. We will try it again however.

    This was our second time - first dinner - at The Italiano. Carissa took expert care to suggest and serve a fabulous dinner! We started with the fried calamari that was tender and crispy. Side Caesar salads were very good The delicious Bolognese portions are huge and perfect for sharing! The lobster ravioli is outstanding. Although it was on the loud side, Sunday evening may be a great night to go for conversation compared to other reviews about the sound levels. The decor is truly breathtaking and the large walls of art are a wonderful addition to the atmosphere!
