   Great space, food and service. Tables are very close and restaurant has a high noise level, good vibe but hard to have a conversation. A lot of great things to try on the menu and prices are not overly inflated. Will be back.

   My friend and I recently ate at Elephante in Scottsdale, and while there were a few bumps along the way, the overall experience turned out to be quite positive. Finding the restaurant was incredibly difficult—there were no signs outside, and Maps directed us to a spot inside the mall, which was frustrating. To make matters worse, I couldn't get through to anyone on the phone, as it was just a phone tree with no option for personal assistance. By the time we finally arrived, I was late and feeling pretty stressed. However, the hostess completely turned the experience around. She greeted us with such professionalism, immediately apologizing and expressing understanding about my frustration. Her empathy and calm demeanor helped ease the tension, and it made all the difference in how I felt about the situation. I truly appreciated how well she handled it. Once seated, the vibe inside the restaurant was young and energetic, with a packed, bustling atmosphere. The service was impressively quick, and the staff was friendly throughout. The only downside was the music—it was quite loud, which made it difficult to have a conversation without leaning in. It wasn’t a dealbreaker, but definitely something to consider if you prefer a quieter setting. As for the food, it was delicious and reasonably priced, which I think is key for a place with such a lively vibe. Overall, despite the initial frustrations, I would recommend this restaurant for its great service, tasty food, and energetic atmosphere. Just be prepared for a bit of a search to find it!

   The staff rushed us out of the restaurant despite us still eating and drinking. They never said there was a time limit or anything so it was strange and we did not like feeling rushed out of the restaurant. Food was decent, service was subpar.

   The food and cocktails are 10 out of 10!! We tried the whipped eggplant puccia, grilled white shrimp and a wild mushroom pizza to start. For entrees, we had the tortellini pomodoro, ragu bianco, and Iberico pork that was so tender it almost melted in our mouths.

   This was my 4th time visiting Elephante as I’m a true lover of the food and vibe here. I’ve been taking different groups of friends to try it. We all loved it.

   The food was amazing, all the reviews and recommendations from our waitress were delicious. We ordered the eggplant dip, vodka pasta and soppressata pizza! For dessert we did the pavlova. The staff was very helpful and friendly. This restaurant is definitely a great addition to Scottsdale!

   Very good food and nice servers…. Was noisy for me but if you are younger than 40 you probably will not mind. One other note of caution is that for now it is hard to find…. The entrance is buried behind the valet across from Anthropologie. There are vertical decorative slats that block the logo and signage. They might want to look into adjusting for that. However they have an atmosphere similar to Moxies and they will be very successful.

    The waitress was focusing on one other table and we did get nothing from what we ask fo our anniversary.. not even a congrats. The one thing that was good was the food and the wine.
