   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! Nick and Lin

    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.

   We told them it was our anniversary and we wanted a table back to the side in a romantic area of the restaurant. We were put just outside the kitchen and on both sides of us waiters were passing and we were afraid they were going to spill food on us. The noise level was deafening and no one ever even acknowledged our anniversary. The food was only fair, nothing special at all. It's a pretty beautiful restaurant but for the higher end prices they charge. It should have been a much better experience. I would not return again.

   It was our first time at this restaurant. I’m happy we had a reservation. It was packed, which attributed to the increased noise level but it was still perfect! Service, food, drinks and ambiance were all stunning. No wonder everyone races raves about it.
