Good Italian food. The service is great. The ambiance is pretty good, depending on the time of day. I like the ravioli or the tortellini. My husband loves the lasagna. There are limited choices in this area, and many are fast food. This restaurant is convenient and a nice destination for a family or couple. I hope this place stays around for a long time! read more

Food: The food was decent overall, with some definite hits and misses. I ordered the stuffed shells and enjoyed them. My husband had the pepperoni calzone and liked it as well, particularly the crust, which he described as having an almost pretzel-like quality. The fried zucchini came out extremely hot and fresh and, importantly, was not soggy. Unfortunately, it was also almost flavorless and mostly tasted like plain fried batter. The Italian wedding soup itself was nice, although the serving was quite small. The roll that came with it was stale and tough and seemed like a basic store-bought roll. Service: Our waitress was very good. She was professional, personable, attentive, and pleasant throughout our meal. I want to make that distinction because our problem was not with her. Our issue was with the woman working behind the bar. We arrived at approximately 2 PM during an active monsoon, with rain and lightning, while a flash flood warning was in effect until approximately 4 PM. She told us that we could not sit inside because my service dog was not wearing a vest labeled "SERVICE DOG." We explained that she is my service dog, but the woman continued to insist that a labeled service vest was required and told us that we would have to sit outside. This was not simply an unpleasant customer-service decision. Under the ADA, service dogs are not required to wear a vest, patch, identification tag, or specially labeled harness, and a restaurant cannot deny someone accompanied by a qualifying service dog access to areas where customers are normally permitted solely because the dog is not wearing one. Denying us indoor access on that basis was contrary to federal ADA requirements. Rather than turn the situation into an argument, we complied and ate outside during the monsoon, rain, and lightning while the flash flood warning was still active. What made the situation even more confusing was that Argenziano's Yelp listing itself currently states "Dogs allowed." Regardless of whatever their general pet policy may be, however, my dog is a service dog, so the lack of a labeled vest should never have been the reason we were denied indoor seating. Atmosphere: The restaurant itself was very dark and muggy inside. There is a difference between dim, cozy lighting and simply not having enough light, and this leaned toward the latter. It honestly had an almost medieval feel to it. The restaurant could easily feel much more welcoming just by turning on some additional lights and paying a little more attention to the indoor comfort level. Value: This was another major disappointment. Before our waitress's tip, our bill was approximately $62 for stuffed shells, a simple pepperoni calzone, a very small serving of Italian wedding soup with a basic roll, fried zucchini, and two iced teas. For the quantity and overall quality of what we received, I simply do not think it was worth $62. The food was not bad, but nothing about the meal justified that price to me. When you also factor in the drive to Corona de Tucson and the experience we had upon arriving, the value simply was not there. Overall: There were things we genuinely liked. My stuffed shells were good, my husband enjoyed his calzone, and our waitress did a very good job and was both professional and personable. Unfortunately, those positives were overshadowed by the high price for what we received, the dark and muggy atmosphere, inconsistent food quality, and especially being denied indoor seating during an active monsoon and flash flood warning because my service dog was not wearing a vest that the ADA does not require. It was not worth the amount of money or the drive for us, especially given the experience with the woman behind the bar. I sincerely hope management addresses this and provides proper ADA service-animal training to its staff. Customers with legitimate service dogs should not be put in the position of either leaving their service animal behind or being sent outside into severe weather because an employee is enforcing a requirement that does not actually exist. read more

First off, this wasn't our first time here. We come here because everything is freaking amazing. The food is always perfect no matter what you order. The staff is pleasant, fun, and efficient. The atmosphere is calming and beautiful and they have a full bar. Sorry I started eating forgetting to take a photo. The food initially covered the whole plate. Cheese ravioli with Italian sausage (huge portion). Came with salad or soup and bread. The dinner salad is quite tasty and they always have two types of soup, if you prefer soup. We had Tiramisu and cannoli for desert and they are both tasty and light. I so recommend this restaurant. read more

I wanted to give this place a second chance, but unfortunately it was even more disappointing this time around. I called in my order, and the employee who answered the phone seemed unfamiliar with the menu and wasn't able to answer basic questions. When I arrived to pick up my food, the first thing I noticed was a strong urine smell when walking into the restaurant. The total came out to nearly $60 for a side salad, a bowl of soup (which was more like a cup and cost almost $15), and the chicken Parmesan. For that price, I expected much better quality. The chicken Parmesan was very underwhelming. The noodles were undercooked, and the chicken was dry, stringy, and lacked flavor. The bread was tossed inside the bag, which seems unsanitary. Honestly, the cesar dressing was the best part of the meal because the lettuce was going bad. Between the high prices, poor food quality, and overall experience, I don't think we'll be coming back. read more

Excellent food and plenty of it! The salad is to die for, In-house dressing is so good! The service is excellent and you're seated quickly when you arrive. It is a very rustic place. Nice murals on the wall. This has been one of our favorite places and we have been coming here for over 15 years. Give it a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

I really don't know what the big hype is about Argenziano's. We moved into the community and we were excited to try but the food is ok and if you aren't a regular I feel you are treated differently, because we stood at the door not knowing if we needed to seat ourselves or a host would seat us, everyone kept looking. About 10 minutes a sweet young lady did help us and set us at a table and again no one greeted us for almost 20 minutes, yes it was busy but I feel 20 minutes is awhile to wait to be greeted or to be asked if we would like something to drink. The food was ok, nothing special. Maybe it was a bad day so we will try again in the near future and hopefully the hype lives up to a better standard. read more

This is one of the few restaurants in my neighborhood...its got an awesome location for what it is. Parking lot is decent size and they have a full bar. Ambiance/Cleanliness-it's clean enough,but has the ambiance of a laundromat. Ill eat here, but there is nothing about the space to make it enjoyable. 3 stars. Service-our server must have been in training, but she lacked confidence and basic service skills. We would have been better off with takeout...2 stars Food...but...the food pretty much sucked. Salad was good...but I had the stuffed shells which came with a meatball. Pasta was mushy, ricotta cheese was wet and thin, sour taste. Meatball was mushy. I didn't finish it and couldn't wait to leave. 2 stars. While i desparately love to support local...this was a fail. read more

Really great food and service . Looked for something closer to our friend's place who are visiting from out of town this evening . This place had great reviews so we drove 25 minutes from north east tucson to check it out . Cozy low key Italian - everything came out steaming hot - big plus - Pizza outstanding, perfect topping to crust ratio . The crust was perfect crunch , bread on sausage and meatballs sandwiches reminds my of those amazing crunchy rolls at authentic Vietnamese place . Stuffed shells , ravioli and sausage and peppers all a big hit ! Lemon and cheesecake desserts spectacular/ Loren was our server , she was on it and she couldn't have been more friendly . Super happy we found this restaurant , we'll be back ! read more

Not sure what is happening at this restaurant, or it is my husband/me that have shifted in expecting a decent experience when we are spending our hard earned money. We have been a few times in the last year, trying very hard to support our local restaurants given we have limited options out in Vail/CDT. Food is okay, some items more robust in flavor than others...(Pizza is far better at the joint N of I10 in Vail) our issue is with the service and way they seem to treat guests that are not regulars and ability to take care of tables in a way that provides basic service. read more

Still a delicious place and they now take reservations! We had a little bit of a wait which was expected on a Friday night and grabbed a glass of wine until our table was ready. Football was playing on one tv by the bar and the vibe of the rest of the restaurant was relaxing and enjoyable. We ordered the antipasto which is my absolute favorite, chicken fettuccine alfredo, a cheese pizza and sausage and peppers over penne. That last one is my new favorite All the employees are very kind with big smiles. You gotta try this place at least once! read more

Terrible service. Food wasn't hot. Overpriced. Badly in need of remodeling Would definitely not return. read more

This place has gone downhill over the years - maybe due to the generational change of ownership. I remember their marinara used to be full of flavor like it had simmered all day, but now it just tastes basic and plain, no better than jarred. Meatballs are okay, nothing spectacular - I would opt for the sausage which is significantly better. My friend ordered their mushroom ravioli that looked like it was cooked from frozen and she was not impressed at all. I asked her how it was, and she replied, "It's... food." The cheese ravioli similarly tasted frozen and mediocre. Their famous seafood soup is made with pretty low-quality shrimp and scallops, even by Arizona standards. I think the only thing that really hasn't changed is the Italian Wedding soup. It tastes exactly how I remember it. The service is always good though, and the ambiance is fine. I just wish the quality of food would have stayed consistent, since they're all we really have out here for a sit-down restaurant. read more

Early dinner at 3PM and dining room was half full already in the heat of summer; definitely a good sign. Stone's throw from Vail but in the middle of seemingly nowhere is this local Italian gem. PASTA Service was great and all the food was excellent, especially the ravioli, perfectly cooked al dente and enough sauce to see you through leftovers if you didn't snarf it down in one sitting with 6-8 large ones. Hubby got the Portabello and I the ricotta with 2 meatballs. Not sure if made in house but it's very fresh and texture appears so. Meatballs were medium firm, garlicky and herbaceous, and delicious. $16.95 for both dishes and amazingly also served with a yeasty firm dinner roll with butter that comes out with the water, and choice of soup (Italian Wedding or Pasta e Fagioli) or salad. We tried the Fagioli which was excellent, again perfectly cooked beans in a flavorful medium dense tomato broth. On asking for dressings, Caesar was an option and waitress asked if hubby wanted to make that a Caesar side which he did. Receipt showed later a .75c crouton & $1.50 cheese upgrade, so that was a sneaky hit. Dressing had pronounced anchovy flavor which my partner love loves but it wasn't worth the upgrade, and definitely the weak link in the meal. Will stick to the normal salad in future or soups which are stellar. SIPS Oddly for an Italian restaurant they did not have Campari on a full bar to make the beloved national fave Negroni, so hubby got a standard Old Fashioned $13 -$2 for Happy Hr, which I did not recall seeing on the menu and -$1 on $10 Whisky Barrel Aged Cab made for Argz's that was yummy. Guests had a Hot Italian Roast Beef Hero $12 which was packed full of thin slices and as a Midwesterner he devoured it in delight; and a huge plateful of chicken alfredo $20.95 that would easily provided seconds and possibly thirds for a lil bird haha Counting my calories and days to get to this slice of Little Italy deliciousness in Corona de Tucson, Ciao Bello! read more

Parking is fairly large and the spaces are a decent distance apart so off to a good start. Walking in the atmosphere is casual, so noise level depends on the patrons. When we were there it was fairly quiet, with normal conversation possible. We started with the mozzarella sticks and garlic bread (regular and cheesy). Mozzarella sticks were nice and crisp, but nothing out of the ordinary. Garlic bread was about the same, good but not anything special. I had the Italian sausage hero, which was very good. The bread was really good, crunchy but not hard. A generous potion of sausage and cheese, it was a good sandwich. Not mind blowing but solid. 3.5, maybe a 4 out of 5 rating. The same held true for most of the food. Solid, but not outstanding. This held true for the service as well. Good service, but not to the level of great or outstanding. Overall, a good experience. I would say 3.75-4 stars out of 5. A good choice for Italian, but not great. You will not be disappointed if you dine here but you won't be blown away either. read more

We really like the calzones, get them to go. I also like eating there but get calzones to go most often.

Food is delicious, yet ridiculous large servings. I had fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. I loved the fettuccine but not the chicken. Chicken was in large chunks with odd spices. Sis had spaghetti with Italian sausage. She loved it even though serving was ridiculously huge. Hubby had the seafood soup which is delicious and he was happy to take half of it home!!! Service excellent, ambiance okay. read more

First I want to say this place was highly recommended by multiple people so I was excited to try them out. Coming off being sick and not wanting to cook for the family we figured we'd try an order to go. First negative, they were out of ingredients for margarita pizza- unfortunate, yet forgivable. We ended up ordering spaghetti and meatballs, with the house salad (included diced tomatoes and red onions) and a cold roll tossed in the bag unwrapped (nice touch). The spaghetti and meatballs we ordered extra meatballs for $3.00 a piece. It was fine but tasted like sauce from a jar and frozen meatballs. Definitely not worth the cost. And should have just made it at home. We ordered an order of calamari and it smelled so fishy it was obviously a terrible choice. I was brave enough to try it and couldn't even bite through it was so rubbery. Immediately tossed it out. Will follow up if food poisoning ensues. We ordered a Buffalo chicken calzone and it was full of grease, cubed frozen chicken and unmelted cheese. We tried to eat it but threw it away. Picture included for this masterpiece. We also ordered and paid for two orders of tiramisu and only received one. I did call to let them know that the meal was horrible and they forgot our second tiramisu. The manager said that the calzone comes like that- greasy and undercooked so will not replace but said they'll put our name on a list and give us a free calamari and tiramisu next time we come in. We will not be returning and will be telling our neighbor it's and friends about our experience. We just fed our trash can nearly $90 of food including a tip and I'm so mad that the calamari is making the house smell like fish. Someone needs to call Gordon Ramsey- this is the stuff kitchen nightmares is made of. They must serve either heavy poured or cheap drinks because the food is terrible. The only reason I rated one star was so I could write this review. Also not only does the food suck, the management is kinda awful too. This has nothing to do with them personally, I'm only rating them professionally. Save your money for the gas station cantina or the taco truck. You'll be happier with either place. read more

This place was so crowded in the very best way! Large groups of people, families, and date nights like ours. All loud and enjoying the amazing food! I got the seafood soup, which was huge; and it was delicious and well made. My date got the lasagna. It's hard to impress me with that dish because I've had many good ones, in restaurants and from my family... but this one was one of the best. Service was top notch and we really enjoyed our visit to this restaurant. Will definitely return. read more

We went to Argenziano's last night with another couple. We had not been in a few years and now realize why.... We were seated on time for our 6:30 pm reservation that is about all that went right during our dining experience. We ordered (2) bottles of wine (white/red) and ordered the calamari.....we were served by the server and had no plates to eat on... I went and hunted down some plates from the kitchen staff to enjoy our calamari....the salads were Caesar and house....no flavor to either salad. The Italian wedding soup was dark green in color and looked horrible and very poor in taste.....I had the Italian beef and the meat was tasteless and it was too hot to eat as the giardinira was so hot my lips were burning by the second bite. The restaurant had plenty of young adults working but mostly chatting/laughing with each other the entire time.... We had (4) tables come in after us and yet they all were served and finishing up before our last meal arrived. We finished our dinner and no one came to clear our table...she brought the bill but never cleared the table...?? After spending $172.41 for four adults we were all displeased with our meal and experience. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

Sorry to disagree with all the 4 star reviews here but we had an unfavorable experience there recently. First time there and was hoping for a good Italian meal. I ordered the Eggplant Parm and although it was served with hefty portions, only the top 3 slices of eggplant had sauce and cheese on them. the 3 underneath were just breaded and no sauce on them. The worst part was the side order of angel hair pasta which was SO dried out from apparently reheating in microwave or oven that the noodles were hard and dry. No flavor. Hubby used the restroom before leaving and was disgusted by the condition of the kitchen as he passed it. No, not going back there. read more

Food was good. I had the Fettucini Alfredo w/chicken and my wife had a calzone. Service was also good. Why the 3 star review then? They did not have a drink menu with choices and prices. I had two pints of their Dragon stout. When I got the bill, they charged me $13 per pint!!! I don't think I've ever paid $13 for a beer. This is absolutely ridiculous. Had I known it was that much ahead of time, I would have never ordered it. This is a deceptive practice in my opinion. Doubt we'll ever come back. read more

First time visit here. When you first walk in you are greeted with aroma of garlic and herbs used in Italian cooking. You can tell this is a local hangout for people in the area with lots of locals at the bar. Great menu with lots of great meals to choose from. I had the Penne pasta with roasted peppers and sauce. Dinner meals come with soup or salad. Pasta fagioli was fantastic. Our second meals was the chicken parmigiana. Meal was topped off with turtle cheesecake and tiramisu. We will definitely be returning to try other dishes read more

Food was amazing! Seafood Soup was better than I remember from previous visits. Server was on it from the start! Very attentive! Ambiance??? Well that's another story. Don't sit against the front window at early evening before sunset. Not insulated and the heat radiates right onto your back! The amount of dirt and dust on the overheads, a/c unit, above windows and ceiling was disgusting. If you can avoid looking up you'll be extremely happy! BTW, I've reviewed this before and nothing changes. Do you think they ever get inspected? Also, the pizza maker was making dough and walking around the back room like it was a big joke, seriously! read more
