    I love the Italiano restaurant. Upon entering, was greeted and seated by Giuseppe to a lovely booth where my friends and I had a delicious lunch. Arena, our server, was very sweet and knowledgeable. She suggested the Italian version of shrimp cocktail for lunch which I chose and savored. Love this place, the ambiance, the servers and of course, the food.❤️ Barbara Huckemeyer

    From the moment we walked in the atmosphere and energy was fantastic. Wow on the decor and every single detail!! Very special and they thought of every detail in the architecture and presentation down to the menus and “visual wall.” The quality of the service and the food absolutely fantastic!! I am certain this is going to become a regular visit for us. The uniformed staff is classic and professional which matches their service level perfectly. I do not know what else to say other than just awesome. A must visit restaurant and experience!! Thank you.

    Food and service are amazing..my only knock is you generally have to wait 30 minutes past your reservation to be seated. They really need to fix the issue as it's unacceptable

    My wife loves their Bolognese & the two meatballs are a whole second meal! I had the Prix Fixe special with veal Marsala… very good! The other couple had steaks…. They were quite happy! The piano music was very good, but kind of overwhelmed my hearing aids! Overall very nice

    I had a reservation at 7:30. I arrived 5 minutes early and ended up waiting 1 hour before being seated at 8:30PM (an hour after my reservation). There was no communication regarding updates on how long we would be waiting, nor were we offered anything to drink while we waited. What was even more disappointing was that they were giving drinks to others who had waited much less time than my party. After being seated we waited another 20 minutes before anyone even brought water (which was after we had to stop someone). Terrible service and would not recommend.

    We were pleased to sit in the rear room as noise level where tables and bar are located was very loud. Had a reservation and was told they were running late on arrival. Seated 30 minutes after our reservation time. Sat at the bar and enjoyed a unique cocktail. We didn't realize it was restaurant week when we planned our anniversary dinner out which is probably why the delays, but did take advantage of the Fixe Prix menu for restaurant week. We shared everything. Appetizers Zucchini Blossoms and Shrimp Cocktail Italiano A+, Beet salad A+, Caesar Salad C - soggy, Pastas were B at best, not enough flavor in the Spicy Rigatoni nor the Tagliatelle; rigatoni pasta was also tough. Main course Veal Marsala another A grade - excellent sauce and tenderness. Other main dish was the Lemon Prawns and Lobster Ravioli - ok/B grade and spouse felt sick almost immediately after eating main course which was one of the few I didn't share but the smallest taste. Took dessert to go, one of each and looks good but too full to eat last night and husband too sick, sadly. Bread was good too. Service was excellent and appreciated receiving new silverware as needed with each course. Would we go back, maybe. We like trying new places and had wins and losses with our dinner at The Italiano.

    We had an amazing experience here! Came for AZ restaurant week and had the tasting menu and everything was amazing. They also do not skimp on the portions because we were full by the third course! We did get seated about 40 mins after our reservation, but were able to wait at the bar and didn't mind since you could tell they were crazy busy. The food was seriously amazing and I cannot wait to come back and eat the spicy rigatoni again!

    We visited last night. Much more than I was expecting. We had a reservation but they were running behind about 40 minutes. Just when I was getting upset, they came to take us to our table. Our waitress was wonderful. I am eating carnivore and I was able to eat grilled octopus in the tin tray, and I had the ribeye. She was very accommodating and understanding. My husband and son both opted to do the 5 course restaurant week menu. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the cost was very reasonable. We will be back! Thank you for making my sons graduation dinner special.
