- JjimPhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThanksgiving dinner. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously. First of all, it's a beautiful space; comfortable tables, tasteful color scheme and excellent lighting. Larger room than we envisioned. We opted for the Pasta Fagioli as our appetizer; "sidebar"....we had dinner several weeks ago at Volare in downtown Chicago and thought the Pasta Fagioli was the best we had ever had. It was remarkable at The Italiano and is the new standard bearer. For dinner we had the NY Strip Steak Parmigiano and the Fleet and Sausage Cacciatore. Both outstanding and cooked perfectly. Surprisingly, they don't offer a simple pasta as a side dish (which my wife likes) but the chef accommodated. Also delicious. If we have a small complaint it would be with the attentiveness of the server. Nice man and very helpful, when requested. Otherwise, we waited too long to have our table cleared and leftovers boxed. Small issue but there is little room for error at these price points. Great wine list. We enjoyed the 2023 Balade Pinot Noir ($85). Before tip, all in, $240. We look forward to dining at the Italiano again. I should mention the beautiful lounge area and piano player. Perfect.More infoThe ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• North Scottsdale•4.6
- DdynellyvipLos Angeles •31 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFirst impression: the space is very warm and laced with lovely plants everywhere! The hostess was attentive and even the manager came to make sure we were taken care of. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and had no qualms on giving her honest recommendations. We ordered one of their cocktails and one mocktail which were both delicious. We had the burned tips, the truffle mushroom pasta which is made fresh in-house, and the asparagus. Everything was lovely. I would definitely recommend.More infoThe EndsPrice: Expensive• American• Old Town Scottsdale•4.6
