    Went to The Italiano to try @chefjoeymaggiore Italian restaurant. It definitely did not disappoint. The shrimp cocktail was flavorful and different from the regular one with cocktail sauce. The squash blossoms had nice gooey cheese, a little too much mint but still enjoyable. The beet salad was so beautiful in presentation and tasted even better. It needs to be a permanent part of the menu. The ravioli had a perfect chew and the vodka sauce was drinkable it was that delicious. Not pictured is Tomaso’s Tagliatelle with mini veal meatballs that were so light and tender. The veal Marsala was thinly sliced and very tender, the Marsala sauce was thick just like I wanted. The lobster ravioli sauce oh my goodness it tasted like lobster bisque so delicious. The tiramisu was airy and a good way to end the meal. Special thanks to Geno for checking on us and Giovanni for the excellent service. If you haven’t been to The Italiano you better check it out, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!! #azreastaurant #arizonarestaurants #arizonarestaurantweek #italianfood

    First time there. So many little details go into the design and presentation of the place, like the gold ring napkin holders. We had the Restaurant Week 5 course dinner with wine pairing. Great place. Great food. Great service. Lively but loud. Pasta course was the only slight disappointment. Vodka sauce lacked any real flavor. Expensive but overall a great experience.

    Brutal. I’ll never go back. Obnoxious ladies at bar took seats from my guests. Made my guest feel unwanted and insulted her.

    Friends recommended this wonderful restaurant, and we were not disappointed. What a surprise to have piano music during dinner. Fabulous ambience, including in the bar area. Of course we both had perfectly prepared pasta.
