Best Italian Restaurants in Fountain Hills / Rio Verde

Fantastic dining experience! Taylor was outstanding and had wonderful recommendations. Food was amazing as was the cocktail menu. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience from start to finish. Will be back as soon as possible!

Another successful dining experience at the Italiano. We opted for the Festival of the Fishes which was a special 5 course meal. Loaded with seafood, and other dishes..the only dish you pick is the entree. I ordered the Swordfish even to the server said it wasn’t her favorite, but out of the other 3 choices it sounded good. The description didn’t match what I received tho.. It looked like 3 rolled up breadsticks. The actual swordfish was very thin and wrapped around some ground Saleme…it didn’t look appealing at all. Would not suggest or tbe menu needs to be more clear. Everything else was very good, except the weird sticky cookie type crackers they served with the Rainbow cake for dessert.

Food was amazing! Pasta strascinati, lobster pappardelle special, veal saltimbocca, and osso bucco were all fantastic. Can’t miss. Our waitress was great but service was a bit slow at the end. Definite hit in Scottsdale area!

Excellent menu choices of wonderfully delicious food. Great Happy Hour menu. Lovely views of the McDowell Mountains.

First time guests and we will return. Staff was friendly, reviewed the menu with us and made great recommendations. Excellent service and amazing food.
