Four brothers and 30 years ago- a small Italian restaurant was born in Tempe, serving beef subs, Grandpa Cesare's sausage recipe, Grandma Cleone's spaghetti sauce, cheesecake, and our original deep dish pizza.
Our little Nello's grew into an award winning \"Best of Phoenix\" restaurant year after year, after year... after year. Family recipes, family genius and family drama all keep Nello's going 30 years later to new generations of pasta and pizza connoisseurs.
A FEW THINGS THAT MAKE NELLO’S AHWATUKEE UNIQUE: We are the only Nello’s location to use a wood fire oven, which was imported from Italy. Our pasta is made in-house daily. We stretch our own mozzarella. Some of our meats are smoked and cured in-house. All desserts are made from scratch in-house. We support local Arizona farms by purchasing their seasonal produce whenever possible.

Service was excellent and food was very good. It was a great value because they offered complimentary valet parking for dinner and our Broadway show at ASU Gammage, which was a pleasant 10 minute walk through campus.
Our server was outstanding and everyone else was very nice. We enjoyed the food and they do have large portions. The stuffing and crabcakes are delicious. We'll be back there again!
