Showed up and the restaurant was relatively busy with only a few open tables inside. The restaurant has a fish tank with some large fish which was cool. We were immediately greeted to get drink orders. We ended up ordering the 10 inch Tuscan pizza (it came cut into 6 slices). We also ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca. After about 15-20 minutes both dishes arrived. The Chicken Saltimbocca was outstanding. The flavor was delicious. Would highly recommend. The Tuscan pizza was also great. We were worried it might be dry but did not have a problem. Overall, the meal was wonderful and we will definitely come back to try more. Our server was kind and efficient and overall it was an awesome meal.

We thought we would have to go somewhere else. Instead we were treated to a very nice "candlelit" experience that was still up to the very high standard that we had come to expect from Pestos. The food was delicious, the service was excellent. We all had a great time. Bravo to you and your staff for overcoming a difficult situation and making it great.

My friend wanted something in between our houses as she recently moved to Maricopa while I'm in the…read morefar east valley, and she wanted pasta specifically. I searched my Yelp bookmarks and remembered a few fellow Yelpers wrote great reviews about this location. I love that you can do a reservation through Yelp, though it was slower on a Sunday evening around 5:30pm so the reservation wasn't needed. She arrived before me, so I asked the hostess to direct me where she was at. The interior seems to be divided in sections, and we were seated in a dining room area with table clothes and more nicer Italian restaurant vibes versus martini/wine bar. What we ordered: - Bruschetta "Va Bene" ($9.95): great flavor, and impressed the price point is under $10! - Linguine Al Pesto ($19.95): my friend ordered, and remarked how delicious the sauce was. - Risotto Mare Monte ($28.95): the texture of the risotto was great, and I enjoyed the flavor. A very good risotto comparative to others in the valley I've tried. - Crème Brûlée ($8.95): not my favorite, but also not the worst. A pretty solid crème brûlée and next time, I'd try the tiramisu (dined with my pregnant friend who's avoiding caffeine). I had my heart set on a vodka martini, but they were out of blue cheese stuffed olives which was a bummer. It was one of the deciding factors why I chose this place. Other than that, it was a great dinner and I'd return in hopes of having a martini and exploring more of the menu.

We absolutely love their bread, salad, and pasta dishes. My mom's favorite is the chicken piccata, and I really appreciate that they let you customize your meal by choosing different pasta options. The zucchini spirals are a great lighter option, but you can never go wrong with a classic fettuccine. My brother's fiancée had the eggplant parmesan and said it was the best she's ever had! I personally enjoyed a delicious chicken artichoke dish. We also make it a tradition to order their chocolate cake for holiday's it's that good!

They also have an amazing lunch menu available every day until 4PM with most entrees costing only $11.50! My favorite part is the unlimited antipasto salad and ciabatta bread that comes with your meal. I love dipping the bread in olive oil and Italian seasoning. Yumm! I always skip the pepperoncini peppers and get extra salami and cheese. I've tried their chicken Parmesan, spaghetti in meat sauce, chicken cutlet piccata with fettuccine alfredo and lasagna. I wasn't wowed by any of the entrees and the marinara sauce is a bit too sweet for my liking. The unlimited salad and bread is always the highlight of my meal and a treat especially as I don't eat bread at home. For $11.50, it's an excellent value. All the staff members are also incredibly nice and accommodating. It's easy to see why this restaurant is so popular and always busy.

We've been several times, both dining in and doing takeout, and it's always consistently good. The service is great, the pizza is all handmade with a thin crust (not Neapolitan-thin), a flavorful sauce, and just the right amount of toppings. The salads are always fresh and easy to share. They have a well-appointed dining room along with outdoor seating. It does get crowded due to its popularity, so reservations are a good idea. Highly recommend.

Especially the Chicken Parm and Shrimp/Scallion Linguine, the chicken and seafood were cooked to perfection, and the seasoning paired quite nicely. Colton, our waiter, was professional, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, in addition to being accommodating to our 1-year-old daughter (who also deserves a five-star rating for being such a good girl). The building, from the exterior, with its upper level covered in plant life, to the quite Italian interior, made for an appropriate dining atmosphere. With the back of house providing excellent food and Colton providing excellent service, our evening was elevated. Thank you for the meal Carrabba's!

He is beyond abusive to the staff. Stopped in for what we hoped we would be a comfortable family style dinner. Unfortunately, the manager, in the kitchen area, was throwing receipts at the servers right in front of our table and cussing - directly at them. It was awful. I feel so bad for the staff.

This location is tucked into a strip of shops and restaurants, making it easy to find with plenty of parking. We arrived just before the lunch rush, so we were able to snag a great spot and were seated immediately. Our server was incredible. I didn't catch her name because it was a bit loud, but she was an absolute pro --friendly, bubbly, and incredibly patient while we navigated the vast menu. Our drinks never even hit the halfway mark before she was there with a refill. If she isn't actually loving her job, she deserves an Oscar for that performance! We both opted for personal deep-dish pizzas --Margherita for Mom and BBQ Chicken for me. The crust was the star of the show: crispy, flavorful, and perfectly chewy. My only tiny critiques? The chicken chunks on the BBQ pizza were a bit big; I think smaller bites would have integrated better with the toppings. Also, the cheese seemed to cool down quite fast, which gave it a slightly different texture toward the end. However, the BBQ sauce was delicious and the onions provided the perfect bite. Also, quick pro tip: They do have a restroom! It's tucked around a corner in a spot that looks like a dead end, but don't panic -- it's there lol. I absolutely recommend Nello's. Between the full bar, the outstanding service, and the very reasonable prices (my pizza was all of $12!), it's a total win. We'll definitely be back!

My mother and I went here for my birthday lunch today. It's the first time we've been in a couple…read moreyears, but our previous meals have been wonderful. I started out with the calamari appetizer, which is $17. The portion was extremely small and lacking in actual calamari because they also had mixed in peppercinis and shrimp. The flavor was pretty good and I really liked the dipping sauce. My mother went for their lunch special and got the side salad and an 8 inch pizza. I wanted to treat myself so I got the penne à la vodka, and added chicken. Once the dishes hit the table, the first thing I noticed was that the same chicken that was prepped and went on the pizza was the chicken that was in my pasta, so nothing was freshly grilled or made to order there, and despite looking very seasoned, it was dry and didn't taste like much. I took a bite of the pasta and it was overcooked and for some reason the vodka sauce had no flavor at all. I'm not just talking bland. I'm talking like this tasted like wet nothing. I made a comment to my mom who said her pizza also was bland and she said "and I know if I think it's bland you'll think it taste like nothing" Sure enough, she was right. Somehow her pizza was bland and tasteless too. She asked for a side of pizza sauce to dip for the pizza and maybe give more flavor and it tasted like tomato paste just straight acidic no other hints of anything. We opted to just take boxes and take it home and reaseason our food and hopefully be able to enjoy leftovers. I asked for the free birthday cannoli since the email was what reminded me I'd like to go back to Nellos. The waitress was very nice. Put a candle in it and she was very attentive. The dessert, however, tasted like it was made more than a week ago and sat in the fridge since the shell was completely like a sponge no crunch no freshness at all. Overall liking one of four things that we got was not the kind of experience we hoped for and especially in this economy spending $60 on lunch I hoped for some well seasoned freshly made food. I'm hoping this is just a kitchen transition moment because as a birthday meal this was pretty sad.
