    We were seated for our Valentine’s Day dinner five minutes early even though this was probably the restaurant’s busiest date of the year. Our waiter, Mike, is a veteran and a pro. He was very helpful, wasn’t full of himself and his knowledge and understanding of the menu as well as the type of dining experience most of his customers expect from such a we’ll know establishment, was impressive. There was nothing we asked him for which he wouldn’t have moved heaven and earth, to get for us. We had the sea bass and 8 oz. Filet as our main courses. The cut of the filet was prime and it tasted like it. It was a perfect medium rare. The sea bass was also moist and wonderful. What a great surprise this dining experience turned out to be. This was the best meal we had over our three previous nights in the Phoenix valley. Thanks Mastro’s.

    It’s all in the details! Chef Joey does everything he does well and with style. The decor is on point, keep and eye on the murals - it’s fascinating. Everything we ate and drank was very good, if not great. Great wine list selection, I got the special - gnocchi and mushrooms - and too was excellent. This is definitely one we will return to when we are in town!

    Our waiter Sean was great. We started with umami rockefeller oysters (best ever!) and the ahi tuna which was excellent. Then the bolognese pasta - 10 out of 10! We then shared sea bass, pureed potatoes and broccolini - so good! Went down to the speakeasy after dinner - very fun. This is a true fine dining experience and not a rushed pace. Plan to take your time and enjoy the evening. Highly recommend the Americano!!

    Possibly the most impressive dining experience my wife and I have ever had. They made our one year anniversary truly special. From the ambience of the restaurant itself and the amazing spectacle of the roof opening, and the gorgeous pool on the top floor. The food was the star of the show as it made you feel like you were on cloud nine with every bite. The steaks were cooked perfectly and every side ordered was delicious. Josh, our server, was the most attentive and caring server we have ever had! What an amazing experience!

    Our food was delicious and Owen our server did not miss a thing. One of the best experiences I have had at North Italia – Kierland Commons! I enjoyed the meatballs as an appetizer and the arugula & avocado salad with heirloom beets added. My guest enjoyed 2 bowls of the soup of the day and a caesar salad. As great as the food was, Owen's professionalism and attention to detail was the icing on the cake!
