    This was a “last minute” reservation (poor planning on my behalf). It turned out to be one of the best reservations I’ve made since visiting the AZ area. Staff were kind, professional, and so accommodating! The food was excellent and desserts were decadent! None of what they did was for “show”; instead, for an excellent & pleasurable dinning experience. I will make this restaurant a repeat place to eat on all my return visits to AZ!

    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.

    My granddaughter, friend and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal there today and will definitely return. Our waitress, Rae, was so attentive to us and knowledgeable about the food, which was outstanding. The interior is elegant and refreshing. Enjoyed our experience so much.

    Service was amazing!! We made our reservation a few months ago and am disappointed in the table we were given. It was literally the first one inside so not much ambiance. Close to the door.

    Food was absolutely delicious, presentations superb! Loved love the level of service and attention that we got, we were a party of six. We went for lunch, which has not been advertised on their website yet so it wasn’t very crowded. It is a beautiful, beautiful space And very elegant. Lunch was extremely reasonable in price and plan to go back there many more times!

    We came for my mother’s birthday, and the service was incredible from the moment we walked in to when we left, we were treated with amazing service making it truly a special night for my mom! We had absolutely delicious appetizers, and dinner was outstanding some of the best Italian food if not the best I’ve had in a long long time! My mom even said she’s going to want to order food from there to take home often now! Definitely loved the atmosphere, food and service! Will definitely be back!
