Best Italian Restaurants in South Mountain

I got excellent service from my waiter, Ever, and my bartender, Hannah. I didn’t expect such great service. I rewarded them monetarily, but I think they might need some verbal recognition from management, too. Hannah made me a great Lemon Drop martini, and Ever was ever so accommodating to any request I made. I also received a great greeting from Bella, too, receptionist / server.

This is not our first Rodeo going to Society. Absolutely love this place, and it just continues to get better and better each visit! Today I ordered the Mushroom pasta with blackened chicken after being stuck on Beef Vodka Pasta and Chicken Alfredo the last 3 visits. We always start out with the Feta whip appetizer, with bread and pita wedges. The Spicy Sandia drink is the best drink we've tasted East Coast to West Coast, hands down. The Guava drink is the next best 👌. We decided to take our son who loves Shirley Temples, and got a super tall one today with Chicken Alfredo. It was his first experience and he concurs it's the best. Brittney our waitress was attentive, personable and great! The ambiance is stellar, temp crisp but not too cold, and decor on point. Our favorite restaurant in AZ. We have brought out of town guests, celebrated our Anniversary, and now Valentines with Society, thank you for an awesome experience.

Excellent food, fantastic service, beautiful ambience… ONLY complaint is that the servings sizes were SO SMALL that my husband and I had to order two entrees plus an app to have enough to eat. (And we don’t eat a lot, we’re not large people) Our server actually recommended that we did and we’re happy we ordered more. So because of the multiple entrees plus an app the bill was naturally higher than it could have been so I don’t believe the value was great.

We had a great time. I had a small issue with my food. Both my server and the manager corrected my situation with ease. I appreciate the effort and customer service. Its rare these days and I will support Elephante simply because I know I will leave with the best experience. We overall enjoyed the ambiance. The menu is good. If I had one recommendation for improvement… they have many things that many Scottsdale restaurants already offer for less money… and on the same class of restaurant as Elephante. Seems like this could be a weak point personally. However, I think the restaurant is beautiful, and look forward to coming back and enjoying another great experience! Thanks for reading

We sat in the bar and our bartender Jorge was great! He had awesome suggestions for appetizers and entrees! Very personable guy! The shrimp / scallop scampi is delicious!! All around great experience and we'll be back!!
