Yelpers, Enjoyed a lunch today here at Arrivederci. Enjoyed the ravioli, my cousins enjoyed the fish of the day and spaghetti. Perfect portions for a lunch. Plenty of available tables, so no waiting. Server was very polite. East to find off Thunderbird, nice parking lot. If you like Italian add this location to you wish list. read more

In an area loaded with many spots for a great meal, Arrivederci on Pinnacle Peak is not going to make my list. I would summarize my party's visit here as overpriced and a bit amateurish. What they did get right for us was a reservation with an on-time, ready table. I have been to many finer dining spots that have not been able to do that so I do credit them with being ready for my larger, work group coming in for a post-work related meal. There endeth any chance at an above-par experience. I found the menu to be a bit overpriced not only for portion size, but also for presentation and lack of attention to detail. As an example, there were several typos on the menu (a $13 Caprese Salad was listed as a "Carpese Salad" and descriptions of some menu items spell tomato inconsistently (found also as "tomatoe"). I can overlook typos or spelling inconsistencies at casual cafe menu's, but for a spot that is going to easily run north of $65 for a full meal and a glass of wine, it is my belief that attention to details like this matter. The food, while tasting fine, was portioned small for the price and presented with disappointing visual appeal. My main was $28 for a pretty simple pasta. I don't mind markup and I don't mind paying a higher price for a great meal but mine looked a bit unfinished, almost amateurish like it was put together by a high school home econ class. Lastly, the service was really polite but also sub-par for the setting and the prices. The hostess seated us and handed all our menus to me and asked me to pass them down the table to the others in my party instead of individually presenting them to each person. And our server was absent for long periods. We waited so long for dessert menus and eventually a check to be presented to us that it probably added 35 min on to our time in the restaurant. It was an awkward wait for my colleagues and several of them simply left before dessert menus or a check were presented. Because I had to stay at the table to wait for and pay the bill, I was unable to properly say goodbye to some of my guests as they left so that was not a good look for the restaurant in front of my colleagues that I was hosting. While we were provided with basics for a meal (table, food, server,etc.), none of it was all that memorable and none of it was up to the approximately $120/person value standard that I paid for each of my party. To be fair, there was nothing about our experience that was disastrous, but there are many other restaurant choices in the area that have delivered for us in the past at similar price points. Based on that, I know that Arrivederci should do better. read more

I have been going there for years. The food quality has dropped significantly and the service has been less friendly.

This is our favorite place - kind of our "cheers". We live the food so much, tye atmosphere and the great staff. We are definitely regulars so we've tried almost everything in the menu - hard to recommend anything as it's all really really good. Each meal starts with their homemade pesto and warm yummy sourdough bread - all the pasta is fabulous as are the specials - love when they have fish options. Never get tired of going there - you will love it! read more

Their phone has been disconnected. Their website doesn't work - high security issue. No way to contact them. They might have closed permanently read more

Heard it closed. Tried calling the number and no longer in service. Called a different Arrivederci restaurant and they are not affiliated with the one on Pinnacle Peak. Now I am Stuck with a $100 gift card that I cannot use. read more

So disappointing. We use to feel like we were more than just a table until tonight. What made this place special was the attention to the customer. No longer, shuffled in and out like just another meal. Not even an offer of limoncello at the end of the meal. Maybe they've gotten too big for their own good. read more

We tried, but it was closed, have they moved to a new location, in past years, we have eaten here often when we're here for the winter, food and atmosphere are always great read more

This is the best Italian restaurant . Gigi is awesome Chef and great Owner. I love all of her food and i recommend to all my family and friends. Everyone should go there and eat. read more

October 3, 2025 Quiet , luxuriously paced dinner with my picky 1st generation , Jersey born and raised Italian husband , happened at this oasis restaurant tucked away in Scottsdale. The wonderful smells of gravy cooking and the genuinely warm and welcoming staff help to relax you , as you become immersed in this truly Italian experience. Nonna is cooking in the kitchen ( yes ! the real thing cooking your dinner as you watch) . Great menu choices that did NOT disappoint.. then as they pack up what is left of the generous portions of your meal a complimentary homemade limoncello is brought to the table.... Honestly better than the limoncello we had in Italy a few months ago. Then the magic happened ...Nonna came out of the kitchen to check we enjoyed our meal. Honestly ...where outside of Jersey does this experience happen.. She and my husband talked family , Jersey, food, Sicily and braciole. Here is where you will not believe what happened next... Nonna is going to call us when she is cooking braciole so my guy can have his favorite meal.... Give yourself the gift of great food, and the special ingredient in food that is so very hard to find LOVE... Buon appetito!! read more

We had reservations for 10 on valentines at 5:30. We were seated right away in the back by the bar. The bar was overcrowded with people standing right on top of us. It was very loud. Our server had many other tables besides ours. Although he tried our service was extremely slow. It too 45 min before he took our order. Once we were served (1 1/2 hours after we were seated, The food was excellent! Unfortunately, they seated at capacity and did not have the staff for such a crowd. read more

We had a table of 7 and the restaurant was full on a Saturday night, thankfully we had reservations. My recommendation is to stick to the traditional pasta dishes. The service was not good and my clams were the worst, but the lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs were a hit. read more

This restaurant was great! An old school feeling of real jersey Italian dining. From the set up of the restaurant, to the lighting setting the ambiance, it gives all the feels. The greeting of our amazing and personable waiter to meeting the chef and owner herself, the entire dining experience felt special and had an old school feel of appreciation to the customer for joining them for dinner. The food was great with a beautiful presentation to boot. It was our honor to be their guests and I really hope others try this very jersey/New York, authentic feeling Italian restaurant for themselves. I know my family won't soon forget it. read more

My fiancé, his mom, and I came during restaurant week to celebrate her birthday and the food was delicious! We all started with Gigi's hand crafted meatballs (not pictured) and they were delicious - not dry and slathered in delicious marinara sauce. For my entree, I ordered the chicken Marsala which was very flavorful. My fiancé ordered the blackened sea bass and his mom ordered the lasagna. Everyone was happy with their order. For dessert, we tried both the tiramisu and cannoli. The cannoli cream was absolutely delicious - sweet and creamy, just like it should be and the cannoli shell, so crispy and fresh. The tiramisu was also pretty good - but it did leave me wanting a little bit more coffee flavor. Overall, such a great meal!! read more

First and likely last time here. I choose restaurants based on menus and reviews. Menu looked great. Surprise when we got there they have a menu that's about a third of the dishes. No fish. No beef. One salad. No entree salads. I asked the server if I could get fish and the answer was no. There was no mention on the web site of an abbreviated menu. When we asked the person acting as the manager to come over she explained that they do this whenever there's a concert for Arizona Music fest. I ordered the healthiest option I could find. Chicken Piccata. I asked that the pasta be omitted and sauce on the side. Came with pasta and swimming in sauce that was gross. Sent it back. Came back as I asked. Was ok. Interestingly enough they charged $3.00 more on the "special abbreviated menu" than the regular menu. Plus added 3% for paying with a credit card. . read more

Thiss could be such a cute place , sadly the food is just not good. The service was very pleasant and the decor pretty , please imp your food, quality and freshness! read more

When we first walked in the restaurant, it smelled like a sewer and had continued throughout our entire meal. I have no clue what was going on but it was extremely off putting! We almost left instantly but did not want to hassle finding another place to dine on a Saturday evening. The service was really good and everyone was very friendly, however the food was definitely not worth the price and we even visited during restaurant week. Everything lacked seasoning and the "gelato" that came with dessert was freezer burnt ice cream that looked melted prior and was refrozen. Finally, when the check arrived we ended up getting charged more than advertised and had to ask for the correct check amount. Beware they also charge a credit card convenience fee that was not advertised! read more

GREAT experience! The food was A+! You could tell it is all made from scratch. Gigi, the owner & head chef, personally visited each table to check in with customers and welcome them. The food was delicious, the vibe was authentically Italian and the customer service was top-notch. We will definitely be back and tell others! :) read more

It's been a while since I've been here, although people are super friendly, and the place was clean, but I have to admit the food was very mediocre. Not sure if I go back for a long time. $32 for some ground up chicken, mushy, should of used shredded! Loud, banging dishes. read more

If you want good, made from scratch Italia, this is the place to go. The service is unbelievable and Gigi the owner makes you feel so welcome. Such good music too and great lighting too. read more

We had such a great dining experience here. My husband and I came in for dinner on a Friday night with a reservation. Our waitress was outstanding. Great menu, prices are reasonable. Wine menu had lots of great options and prices fair. Our food was excellent, the wine was good, enjyed the bread and basil olive oil. Our dessert was tasty cannelloni and paired well with lemoncello! Lots of parking. Outdoor patio, bar area as well as a large indoor dining room with cozy booths and tables. We will be coming back soon‍ read more

Terrific true Italian cuisine! Gina is amazing, as is the service. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, my only 'I wish it was better' is the patio and its views. Definitely a go to! read more

Hidden Gem! I am a foodie and they are the real Italian restaurant. One, service is impeccable. Foster, our server , is very personable and attentive to all of our needs. Second, they actually make homemade gnocchi that melts in your mouth and their sauce tastes like I am at my Italian grandmas house. Third, most pastas are. Homemade, but they even make the smoothest limoncello. When you eat here, you actually have scratch kitchen Italian food. Delicious !!!! Ambience is casual nice, makes you feel at home. read more

We had our Christmas meal at Arrivederci & had great time eating at the bar with Chris (because we didn't have reservations). He accommodated our every need and was entertaining as well. We were hungry & bread and their delicious pesto dip came right away. Food was good, service exceptional, the Meiomi Pinot was perfect with our veal meal. The tiramisu like dessert was yummy! Thanks kind folks at Arrivederci for working on Christmas Day. We really appreciated it being far from home & family. read more

Ive written about Arrivederci before, very good food at at a good price, if the were downtown scottsdale their price would be a lot higher. Our favorite waiter has retired, Gesseppie, we wish him well. read more

This place is wonderful in so many ways! The food is fabulous, everyone who works there is amazing and the restaurant is full of people who love this place so much they are regulars who go a couple times or more a week. The pesto sauce they serve with the bread is probably the best pesto I have ever had, and the Peroni Shrimp I could eat everyday. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing place to eat with great service and fabulous food, you need to eat here! If all you want is a glass of wine, it's a great place for that too. read more

We had a really nice birthday dinner here. It was our first time here. We were so pleased with the service and food. We started off with calamari, eggplant and arancini appetizers. All 3 were awesome. Then moved on to several types of pasta. We were happy with all of the choices. Our favorite was the pomodoro. We finished with a tiramisu dessert. Perfect way to end the meal. Thank you Arrivederci for making it such a wonderful experience! read more

The food was mediocre, not fine dining. It looked and tasted like someone threw something together in their home kitchen or like cafeteria food. We ordered the chicken piccata and veal Marsala, and the sauce was a thick, goopy mixture of broth and tons of cornstarch. My husband's broccoli was jade green and overcooked. The veal was $38 and it was paper thin and my husband was still super hungry after finishing his food. The bill with tax and tip was almost $100 (just two entrees and a salad) and we were still hungry. The restaurant was only 10% full at 6pm on Sunday, we should have taken a que from that. All this was a lesson learned of where not to eat next time. Very disappointed. And the interior has not been updated in decades because we used to go to the restaurant that was in this space before it was sold and the decor and booths were exactly the same. read more

Interesting that the dinner reservation we made through YELP did not appear on their books when we arrived. Luckily they were able to seat us soon enough to still make the concert nearby. read more

Even though this restaurant has been around for a very long time I am so excited to have recently discovered it in my local neighborhood. Open for lunch and dinner, it's always a great meal to sit down to. Try the minestrone soup and ask for an extra roll. Trust me. The bar is a great place to sit, perfect height with nothing at the edge to have to lean over. Meaning you can pull your plate right up, no dripping! The musician is interesting. I think he sits there streaming doing karaoke? But he's actually really good. I like'd his set up and he was entertaining. I'd go back just to see him, have a bowl of soup and a big basket of bread. Lots of fun. read more

Nice restaurant. Make sure you call to see if they are open. Came one day and they were closed at 8pm. They have different hours during the summer. The waiter and host are really friendly. Feels like family, because it is a family business. Got the Ceasers salad it was okay, the lettuce as abit brown, which I don't like to see. The bread was complementary and delicious. They give you a pesto sauce and butter. Got the fettuccine Alfredo and asked for chicken as well. When I received my meal I got the fettuccine Alfredo with no chicken. Didn't bother to tell them. But the fettuccine was delicious. They took awhile to check back on me. There wasn't many customers. Got the tiramisu and cannoli to go. The cannoli was okay. The tiramisu was good. I believe you can order through ubereats. Maybe you can find a Groupon. read more

Delicious food! We visited during restaurant week. The homemade bread with pesto and Parmesan- could have eaten more but had to save room. All three courses were delicious.

My husband and I decided we wanted Italian and did a search for Italian restaurants on Yelp. We were totally excited to see that they opened up Arrivederci just a couple miles from our house. We made reservations on Open Table and off we went. Located right behind Lamp Pizzeria. Trust me, these two restaurants are way different. If you're looking for true authentic Italian food, head over to Arrivederci! We were seated in a beautiful booth and were served their fresh baked bread and a small bowl of pesto. The bread was sent from heaven and I could drink the pesto dipping sauce, OMG it was so good!! We ordered a bottle of wine and for a starter we ordered the mussels and clams, it was perfection!!! The broth and the seafood was cooked perfectly. For dinner we ordered the chicken parm and the rolled eggplant. The pasta that was served with both dishes were cooked amazingly! The rolled eggplant was so incredibly cooked and tasted remarkable! Tammy was our server and she was awesome!!! For sure ask for her as your server. She went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. Gigi was also equally awesome, I believe she was an owner or manager but she's remarkable! We will be back, 100%!!!! Try this place, you'll fall in love. read more
