   This is my 5th time dining in this restaurant. Each time I am continually impressed by the Quality of food. The new additions to the menu of the Caponata and the Tortallina are delicious. Our server as well as Manager Eddie were very helpful in assisting us in our dinner choices. This is a wonderful, delicious and fun restaurant.

   I’ve been wanting to eat here since it opened so I was happy to have lunch here today. The restaurant is elegant, beautifully decorated and feels like I was in Italy again! George our waiter gave us exceptional service! Very friendly and accommodating. My friend and I had the the best tasting calamari we’ve ever had. I had the Limonchelli special which included Ceasar salad, Chicken Marsala and Cannoli and my friend had the Rigatoni. Both were delicious. Best part of lunch…a sighting of Chef Joey himself! George offered to bring him over to say hello but I didn’t want to bother him. In hindsight I should have taken up the offer since I am fan of Sicilian Butcher, Mexicano and back in the day Hash Kitchen. I definitely plan on returning.

   I now live on the west side, Peoria, and I have brought no less than 12 people at any given time to enjoy Italiano. The staff, food and ambiance are exceptional. I will continue to recommend your restaurant, however, there is an upscale community in and around Vistancia that would love to see you bring a restaurant of this caliber to a community starved for great dining options!

   Food and service were great. Although we had a reservation at 730p but did not get seated until 8p. Saturdays are extremely busy and staff was overwhelmed.

   Return dinner visit this time on Saturday, with reservation! It was so busy with so many people waiting, I assume our reservations. But we were immediately taken in. The head hostess, a young lady with blonde hair was very helpful and honored my request that we dine once again with our previous waiter Mario! I don't have her name but she was in charge of the hostesses on Saturday night. She was terrific. Our meal was again fantastic. I had the linguine with calamari and my wife had the seafood and pasta which were over the top! I need to mention that the portions are huge! Tremendous value for the quality! And our waiter Mario, we really enjoy him. He's perfect, understands the menu and excellent service without being pretentious! In every respect five star dying experience! Thank you!

    The restaurant is beautiful, the staff is wonderful and the food is exquisite. The only reason I gave the rating four out of five stars is because of the noise level. The bar is definitely not a place to visit and even in the back of the restaurant, sitting at a table of four people you can’t hear the conversation with an arms length. I hesitate to visit again only because of the noise.

   We ordered lobster ravioli and the center cut pork chop. The ravioli was below par for this type of restaurant and the food was very salty with underwhelming flavor. If you want great Italian food, basil garlic is the place to go.

   My wife and I have been to The Italiano five times. Each and every time the food is outstanding; the service is excellent; and, the ambiance is wonderful. This is one of the very best restaurants in Scottsdale/Phoenix!!

   My wife and I had a wonderful dinner tonight at Chef Joey’s Italiano. Drinks, apps, mains were on point. This was our first time and they just knocked it out in every way. Our server made some great suggestions. I had the Canneloni and my wife had the Shrimp Fra Diavlo. Both were excellent. We’ll definitely be headed back!!

    The food beverages and staff were incredible. As always staff was very attentive and friendly. Can't wait to return for another great night. Love the piano music.
