It's the second redo for me. This took place on Saturday, starting at about 4:30 PM. It was busy but not over crowed. You could hold a conversation with your dinner mates. Two people who ordered Ravioli, said it was cold, and sent it back to the kitchen. Their complaint was acceped. Shortly they were served what seemed to a fresh plate of ravioli. My order was Spaghetti Carbonera. The spaghetti was thin and hot. It was cooked until tender. Loads of white sauce, and butter topped the pasta. There was bread on the table for soping up the sauce. Those who diined with me ordered dessert. They were all trilled with how the desserts tasted. They all looked appealing. The dining group redily agreed to put this on the repeat list, that is we will go there again because it was so good, not because the food repeated on you, but because we all wanted to go back again. read more

This used to be one of our favorite Italian spots, which is why this review is a little hard to write. We've come back a few times hoping it was just an off night, but unfortunately it hasn't been the same. The service during our last visit was lacking--no side plates for appetizers, very little table check-in, and refills took multiple requests. I understand that every restaurant can have an off night, so I try to give grace there. What was more disappointing was the food quality. The Alfredo felt very watered down and lacked the richness and depth it used to have. The marinara also seemed a bit flat in flavor. My eggplant rollatini was just okay (it's usually one of my favorites). The Caesar salad had some browning and wilted romaine, and another salad we ordered didn't taste as fresh as expected. On a positive note, the bread and pesto were still great and fresh. The space itself is still very charming, which is part of why we've kept coming back. With some attention to food consistency and service, this could easily return to being a great little hidden gem. read more

This is a long overdue review. We went here a year ago, and a year later we still constantly talk about this restaurant and the food we had. We went on Christmas Eve 2024 and we were so happy to even find a restaurant open. When we went in the restaurant was busy, and it seemed like a very friendly place/ a place where you feel like family. We were brought pesto to dip the bread in and it was amazing- one of the best! For our entrees we ordered the fettuccini Alfredo, vodka penne, pesto gnocchi, and eggplant parm with penne. The fettuccini Alfredo was one of the best I have had in the whole country. Normally Alfredo is a very heavy sauce, but here it was light and delicious. The pasta was light the way homemade pasta is. My dad used very picky but he loved it, and the portions were so big that we had leftovers! My sister got the gnocchi and she talks about how no other restaurant has still compared to the taste of the pesto and the gnocchis itself. They were exactly what you imagine a gnocchi to be. They tasted homemade and were light and pillowy. She said she was ready to order a second serving even with a full belly. I got the vodka penne. The whole trip I was looking for a good vodka penne, and finally found it at Arrivederci. It was creamy and tangy and perfectly balanced. My mom got the eggplant and penne and she also loved it. For the dessert we got the chocolate tiramisu and the creme brûlée. We liked the tiramisu more than the creme brûlée, but everything was delicious. Overall this is the best restaurant we have been to in AZ, and one of the best we've been to in the country. There are few restaurants we've been to where we continue to talk about them so much after so much time, and even remember the name and the taste of the food. Our next trip to AZ we will definitely be back here! read more

This little neighborhood gem did not disappoint. The service was beyond wonderful everyone was so kind warm & welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the calamari it was perfectly crisp & had a good mix of rings & tentacles. The pesto and bread was so fresh & delicious. We had the specials of the night the veal Parmesan & black fettuccine pasta. The veal was the star of the show for me it was perfection! Everything that came out to every table looked amazing & made it hard to choose. We ended the evening with a little lemon cello shot they brought out & the Spumoni. We left so happy & full. I can't wait to return. I do recommend making reservations as it's a small intimate place and every single table was booked. I can see why this place was wonderful. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. read more

A lovely atmosphere and a pleasure to enter this restaurant. Welcoming smiles and an excellent menu to peruse whilst enjoying wonderful bread with pesto or oil and balsamic on request. We started with very tasty meatballs served in a great marinara sauce. My husband ordered a pasta sausage and peppers dish and thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered the veal Marsala. My meal came with fresh steamed veggies and mashed potato with Marsala gravy. The veal was in three separate medallions. One piece was fairly tender but the other two were very chewy and l left one piece on the plate , as the knife provided would not cut it. I was disappointed but the overall meal and experience was good and I felt no reason to complain. I would certainly return to this very popular place. Our server had worked there for almost 28 years and deserves a round of applause for his expertise and demeanor. read more

Not sure what to think. Three or four stars. If I could I'd give it a 3.5. Everything was just ok I guess, chicken parm- the cutlet not at all crispy as it should be. Caesar salad average. Marinara sauce very fresh and flavorful. Penne overcooked as was the linguine. Definitely not al dente. Lasagne a hot mess kind of fell apart. Will I try this place again? Yes. Am I in a hurry to go back? No read more

I order ahead for pick up. It was ready before it was promised which was nice and they were very quick to help me when I went in. Felt kind of old time-y and charming. I ordered fettuccine Alfredo and added meatballs. It came with some bread and pesto to dip. They also had grated parm cheese in my to-go order. Yum! It was delicious. I very much enjoyed the Alfredo sauce and I thought it was very fair priced for adding in meatballs too! read more

I had this place saved on Instagram I'd been wanting to try it for awhile. I came here on lunch and ordered the Penne Alla Vodka for lunch, and it was only $13. The place inside is so cute and traditional Italian style, and when I came to pick up, they had thrown in a salad, and bread for me and it was so sweet! It felt like my ancestors were making sure I had plenty to eat lol. Their home made bread with the pesto sauce was to die for. I also really appreciated the salad. The penne alla vodka was really nice too and not super overpowering. I'd love to try more on their menu this is a true authentic Italian place. Can't wait to come back for more! All the employees are so nice and accommodating and made me feel right at home even for a to go order. The interior is just stunning! read more

Five of us made a reservation to celebrate a birthday and this place did not disappoint. We were greeted right away and shown to a table in a cozy and old school Italian room. We shared a bottle of wine and they brought us their fresh baked bread with pesto dipping sauce that was delicious. I didn't get pictures of everything, sorry! All of our food was home made and perfection. We each ordered a different dessert and the only one we didn't like was the crème brûlée. We've had better elsewhere. Drinks were amazing, food was scrumptious, service was friendly. We will definitely go back! read more

We came here many years ago and then forgot about the place. Recently in November we came again and remembered how good it was. The food and the service were really good that we came back 2 more times. We are now coming back for my mom's birthday because we can't get enough. The bread, their pasta, the eggplant is delicious! The service is very quick and they have always been very kind. We never leave disappointed. read more

Without question, the best meal we've had since moving to PHX 8 years ago! If I've ever had a better Italian cuisine meal, I can't remember it! I had the braised short rib with in-house fresh made fettuccine. Out-stand-ing! Wife had the ravioli and said it was unlike any ravioli she's ever had it was so good. Trust me, go here. You won't regret it! (My only regret is I didn't take any pictures) read more

I went here in December 2024 and I'm still thinking about the food there. The restaurant was cozy but still felt a little formal (jeans and a nice shirt, not sweatpants). The staff was so kind and attentive, we never had to wait for water. They started on their bread and rather than bringing out the standard olive oil, they brought out their house pesto. It was amazing, the bread was soft and warm while the pesto was herbaceous and garlicky. I got the pesto gnocchi after seeing how amazing their house pesto was and it was 10/10. The pesto was mixed with a cream sauce and the gnocchi was soft. Didn't feel like a heavy meal at all. My father got the fettuccine Alfredo which was creamy and cheesy, just what you want it to be. We aren't a dessert family much, but we got the crème brulee and it has a hard top then a creamy custard inside which was the perfect ending to the meal. This is the best pesto of all time (the POAT) and I highly recommend that if you're in Scottsdale you go to this restaurant. read more

AMAZING experience. So welcoming and authentic. You can tell the owners take pride in what they serve. Tammy was our server, she was a doll and as authentic as they come. Gave us great recommendations. Food was great and they have amazing specials. Arancini balls aren't shown but pretty good too. Table side bread and pesto was a highlight as well. So good.

It's July 4th and we found this gem in Scottsdale. The Lasagna was fabulous, and so was the fettuccini however the meatballs were the icing on the cake. Few make them like my wife or Mom and this place does. No offense to the Fairmont but this was the best meal all week! read more

Wow! My father in law & I stopped by for lunch and holy sh*t everything was amazing. The food was incredible & the place felt like a little place in Italy you'd go with your grandma.

I was planning a lunch for a large group. Eddie was wonderful to work with. The tables were set up in a way that gave our group privacy and allowed us to all see one another. I had the appetizer bruschetta and it was delicious. I could have made a meal of that alone. The Cesar salad was good. I loved the pollo pizzaola. It came with sautéed veggies and two nice pieces of chicken with a red sauce. I enjoyed the lemon ricotta cheesecake for dessert. The slice was big enough for two people to share and have a nice serving of dessert. We finished the meal with some limoncello, which was the perfect ending to a great meal! read more

The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations, but the wine alone was worth the trip. Our server was above and beyond what we expected and was more the knowledgeable of the menu. She also ensured we were always cared for without hovering over the table. The location was very cosy and reminded us of some small restaurants we went to in Europe. I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking a taste of Italy in Arizona. read more

We are winter visitors that have eaten here multiple times. We come back because the food and service is normally exceptional, but not tonight. We made a reservation for 630, got to the restaurant at 620, and was asked to stand off to the side. We watched at least 3 different parties checked in and the hostess told at least two parties that they were in line behind us. She sat those parties before us. I asked if and when we would be seated, and had been waiting for a while. I was told to be patient. It was now 655 and we just left. If parties of two are a problem, then they shouldn't accept them. Our date night ended up at a fast food joint. read more

This gem has sustained the test of time! Eddie and his family take so much pride and joy in what they serve up.

Love the family style ambiance. Bravo on serving up continued excellence in deliciousness! read more

This was a grub hub delivery. It was all hot & delicious!' Spaghetti & meatballs were excellent. Fettuccine w shrimp & scallops were fabulous. Plus fresh bread & olive oil. Only thing I wouldn't recommend is the garlic bread. Which is probably wonderful in the restaurant. We loved this !!! Can't wait to try other items !! read more

Seems like a busy local spot - we arrived for our 7pm reservation on a Friday night and had to wait a little bit to be seated on the plastic enclosed outdoor patio. We were given pesto and bread while we were waiting for our entrees to arrive. The pesto was very tasty without being too salty. I ordered the Cioppino and my fiancé ordered the Fetticune Alfredo. THe portions are huge! I could have absolutely shared the Cioppino with someone else or even saved it for lunch the next day. I thoroughly enjoyed my cioppino - there was a heaping serving of seafood including fish, shrimp, clams, mussels, and squid. Underneath the pile of seafood was a pile of linguine, yum! My fiancé's Fetticune Alfredo was definitely as described "creamy alfredo white sauce" because it was literally a bowl of noodles with creamy sauce. He said it was not very flavorful. The menu has a wide variety, and the more complex dishes seem to offer more flavor so I would suggest those over plain noodles, or adding protein to the simpler dishes. read more

If you want amazing Food, Service, and Ambiance look no further then Arrivederci in Scottsdale. You feel like you are eating in a little restaurant in Italy. It is so intimate and beautiful. The staff are extremely friendly and efficient. And the food is mouth watering. You can taste the freshness. I had the "Pollo al LImone" and my friend had the "Melenzana Arrivederci". And afterwards we shared Grandma's 100 year old recipe Tiramisu...which honestly is the best I have ever tasted. The flavors just popped in my mouth. This is honestly my new favorite place... read more

Haven't been there for a while, but I had to go see Eddie today. He and Annamarie definitely make this place happen. They have a great vine selection, hot roll, and lemoncello. They used to have really good pesto with lots of flavor and I believe it used to be homemade but now it taste like it is jarred and very oily.My food was OK didn't have much flavor I had to ask for some tomato sauce and seasoning. read more
