    Food & service were good. Our only issue was we were seated right next to the piano and we had 2 seniors dining with us. It was impossible to talk or hear a thing. The music was beautiful but just way too loud where we were seated.

    I travel to Italy twice a year and eat at both 5 & 4 star restaurants. This food is a good attempt but misses the mark for an authentic Italian experience. The Vodka Penne sauce was way too rich and is very Americanized. I'm dying for an authentic Italian restaurant in AZ and sadly this misses the mark. Glad my Italian friends were not with me as they would've laughed in my face.

    Outstanding restaurant … busy but the service is impeccable! We had dinner for the first time and invite close friends and everyone enjoyed their dinner. It was a great first time experience. Dessert was meh….. a good cheescake would have been better than the strawberry /creme weird dessert or the over fancy tiramisu. Hey Joey get a cheesecake on the menu!! That would match the excellence of the food offered!

    This was our first time to The Italiano. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful- it felt like we were at a restaurant on the Amalfi Coast. The blue & white decor to a beautiful, lively bar area, to live music being played on the Grand Piano. The service was exceptional! At least 3 managers stopped at the table to chat and make sure everything was to our liking. Now, the Food--- AMAZING! The menu is pretty cool--- it reminded me of an encyclopedia. LOL We had the "Feast of the Seven Fishes" 5-course menu. Every course was excellent. So much flavor and fresh ingredients. One course was better than the next. We'll definately be back!!!

    Front of house execution was flawless, beautiful interior, the only issues time between our appetizer and main courses seemed longer than normal and was one of our entrees of pasta was noticeably undercooked...We will try it again in 3-4 months hoping they will get the back of the house kinks worked out.
