Spicy beef miso udon, shimogamo roll, and kyoto pear cocktail. The udon is always exemplary as i get it almost as often as i go here. Had the shimogamo roll on a whim not knowing what was in it. I dont care for shrimp at all but this roll was tasty! And finally, the kyoto pear cocktail was a perfect blend with the right amount of sweetness. Recommend all 3.

About the restaurant

HOW IT STARTED
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.

Went for lunch. Ate the ahi poke bowl and the queso. Both were exceptionally delicious. Just a bit pricey but such is life these days!
