    The appetizers and cocktails were quite good. The pasta was immaculate. The steaks were over salted, undercooked, and the garlicy greens were pretty acrid. The desert was fantastic and coffee was very good Go for the pasta, ambiance, and service. Avoid the steak.

    We ate lunch at the Italiano. The lunch menu provided great choices from salads sandwiches and entrees to two three course priced fixed lunches. The food was outstanding. Our server Aaron provided great service and was very knowledgeable.

    Beautiful newer restaurant. Large place, but with a good feel to it. Food was very good. Our waiter was pretty average. Only had a couple tables but was nowhere to be found. The hostess was on the ball and stepped in a couple times to move things along.

    Giovanni was an amazing waiter. Food was really good, but I felt the chicken parm was too bready and needed more sauce. The octopus was tender and the filet pizzaoili was cooked to perfection! The restaurant is beautiful, really, really beautiful, but sooooo loud. Try to book a booth - that will help with the noise. Truly recommend to owners that if you have to close for any reason, take that time to put in a ceiling!! Kudos to the staff on cleaning- was impeccable!

    Excellent food. The host/hostess staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and unprepared to handle the waiting people. The entrance area is way too small and got extremely congested with just a few waiting diners and staff trying to walk through to tables, kitchen, etc. However, once seated, it was an excellent experience. We also enjoyed a nice glass of wine at the bar.

    The service was impeccable. We felt like we had our own personal waiter. The ambiance and the interior of the restaurant felt very Italian. The prices were a little lower than most high end Scottsdale establishments without sacrificing quality. Very good menu. We added it to our "favorites" list.
