Restaurants near Shea Scottsdale Shopping Center

The food at the Italiano is fabulous, proof being that even on a Monday night the restaurant and bar were incredibly busy. My only issues were one trivial one and the other I would consider substantial. Trivial would be that tonight the kitchen was out of the zucchini blossoms which was tragic because I love them! The substantial issue for me is the noise level. We were sitting at one of the very comfortable couch like tables in the bar and the noise level is so high that you have to consistently ask those across from you to repeat what they are saying, and I also felt forced to lean across the table for them to hear me clearly. That is my singular negative aissue with the Italiano. Otherwise the food is amazing, the decor and style of the entire place is lovely, and the atmosphere is wonderful. I just wish the noise level would be brought down to a more civilized to level so as to make the dining experience that much more pleasurable.

We had an amazing experience. Paul is an incredible server. We loved all of the food.

The restaurant exudes an air of sophistication, with elegant décor and tasteful furnishings that create a truly classy atmosphere. The ambiance is nothing short of breathtaking, featuring soft lighting that casts a warm glow, complemented by soothing background music that enhances the overall dining experience. Each detail, from the meticulously set tables to the carefully chosen artwork on the walls, contributes to a captivating environment that makes for an unforgettable evening.

My wife and I saw this pizzeria on Dave Portnoy’s One Bite reviews, which he rated one of Phoenix’s best. Dave is usually spot on with what we like and Il Bosco was no different. The pizza here is amazing. It can stand toe to toe with Pizza Bianco which is very high praise. They have lots of variety on their pies with high quality ingredients, fantastic San Marzano sauce (I am a red pie only guy), and a tasty crust with some good undercarriage. If you like wood fired pie, give Il Bosco a try. It’s the real deal.

Service was attentive. Salads, sandwiches, plates, and sides were all fresh, flavorful, and reasonaby priced. A good spot for a lighter and healthy meal.
