Absolutely loved this family owned neighborhood restaurant. The staff is very friendly and the food was amazing. I had the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and it did not disappoint. It was the best I have had anywhere. I live 30-40 minutes away, but I will make the drive for this excellent restaurant. Atmosphere: A Service: A+ Speed of Kitchen: A Food: A+ read more

We had heard good things about this place and were astonished at how good it is. Excellent service and honest recommendations from Natalino's son (sorry, forgot his name) made this a stellar experience. Prompt, fast and friendly. The recommended Chianti wine paired perfectly with my sausage and green pepper pasta. The sausage is hand made using an antique grinder that was Natalino's grandfathers! Perfect flavor and robust texture. My GF had the eggplant parmigiana that had the perfect Smokiness. The in house tiramisu was rapidly devoured and was one of the best I ever tasted. This 25 year old Italian restaurant is now my go to pasta place. The pizzas looked good too and they do a thriving takeout business. The decor is more neighborhood eatery than fine dining but the food and service are top notch. Very reasonably priced with most main course dishes around $20 to $25. We did eat early so was not that busy but it was filling up by the time we left. Natalino himself was working there too. A real family affair and 'must visit' gem in N Phoenix. read more

What an incredible dining experience! Natalino is the kind of family-owned Italian restaurant that makes you feel like you're part of the family. Watching the father and son work side by side adds such a genuine and welcoming touch. We started with the Meatball Trio, and it was phenomenal. Combined with the warm, homemade bread, it was the perfect way to begin our meal. My girlfriend ordered the cioppino, which was packed with fresh seafood and amazing flavor, while I had the chicken parmesan, cooked to perfection with a delicious homemade sauce and plenty of cheese. We couldn't leave without trying the homemade tiramisu, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It was light, rich, and the perfect finish to an outstanding meal. From the exceptional food to the warm hospitality, Natalino delivers an authentic Italian dining experience that's hard to beat. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing Italian cuisine. read more

Food was amazing. Only 4 stars, cause the slice app was an horrible experience. Please disassociate With this app. I had no tracking of food, no way to communicate with the driver, and the customer service for the app was horrible. read more

Natalino Italian Restaurant was absolutely the BEST! We started with the antipasti, then had the ribeye steak with vegetables and the most incredible mushroom sauce. Honestly, some of the best food we've ever had! It was definitely worth the drive from Chandler. The owner was so sweet, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better. We actually found this place through a recommendation from his elementary school friend from back when they were in NYC. What a small world! Amazing food, wonderful hospitality, and such a great experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

Stop scrolling and looking for what to eat and get in here! Love finding a new local spot, running around at lunch and busted a u turn to check this one out. Wasn't starving so i got the mussels on the app menu and i almost ordered a second round, huge chunks of garlic and the butter sauce was insane! Everything was very fairly priced and im coming back! Staff was super sweet bar tender wasn't overwhelming but def paid attention to his customers, service was great! The place is pretty big and tables are spaced out pretty good so you can enjoy your company! Secret menu item by the bar keep-"Italian enchilada" - beef Cannellini read more

Great little spot if you are looking for cozy mom and pops and real Italian meal. The sauce on my linguine with mussels was extra spicy just for me and made me feel at home. Great atmosphere great people and great. Tasty food. read more

I've had two fabulous meals here. Chicken Parm Marsala and Veal Marsala. Service was fast and efficient, no complaints at all. Nice environment as well had good conversations with little noise. Highly recommended. Definitely will return! read more

This place was a last minute find. And I'm so glad we came, looks unassuming from the outside and simple inside but the food is worth it. We started with the fried mozza which has such a good breading, and the red sauce was fantastic. Chicken parmigiana was so good and the fresh veggies was a nice change from a pasta side. The smoked chicken rigatoni was amazing, such a smoky flavor. And tiramisu was yummy with a shot of lemonchello. Definitely will be back. read more

So first I have to start off saying, I never, never go out for Italian food. Being from a large Italian family it just never compares to what I can have at home. Had a cousin in town from New Jersey to surprise my dad for his 95th birthday. We picked this restaurant strictly based on our last name is Natalino. Arrived about 2 ish on a hot Saturday afternoon for a late lunch / early dinner. THe five of us were the only diners in the restaurant. Red flag, but I kept an open mind. The restaurant isn't very big with a small bar on one side and a semi open kitchen on the other. Drink and appetizer orders taken while we looked over the menu. Normal Americanized Italian offerings. Two eggplant parm, one chicken parm, a sausage and peppers over linguine and a spinach and mushroom ravioli with vodka sauce. Appetizers, a calamari and a bruschetta brought along with a basket of focaccia bread. Calamari had wonderful flavor with a very light breading, but it was a tad chewy. No points deducted because it did have great flavor. Bruschetta topped generously with finely diced tomato studded with lots of fresh garlic and basil. I only tasted the topping and it would be great on fresh pasta as a pomodoro sauce. The star of the show was the focaccia bread. Soft and studded with herbs, I could have made a meal of just the bread, this made my dining experience worth the trip. Entrees brought. My eggplant was thinly sliced, gently fried in seasoned bread crumbs served with a marinara penne. It was good, above average. It's really all I've ever ordered at an Italian restaurant for I don't make it at home. Husband said his sausage and peppers was good but he would have preferred red bell peppers to the green. The vodka cream sauce on the ravioli was outstanding and my SIL said she'd visit again just for that sauce. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to eat Italian, moderately priced, around $15-$20 a person. A value for fresh, restaurant quality food. Shoot the McD's in the same lot charge $15 for a meal. Restroom clean. Eat the focaccia, it's superb. read more

Best Italian food and service in the surrounding area! Quick and quality service and food!

Review: Probably the best Italian food around! I absolutely love the atmosphere, the food, and the way they treat you from the moment you walk in. They make you feel like you're the only guest in the room. The food is simply amazing -- authentic, flavorful, and always perfect. Don't go anywhere else; you'll never be disappointed! read more

This little gem is INSANELY delicious!! The service we had from Francesco was great! He went over the menu and told us about the best and most popular items. This place has a family owned vibe with a casual ambiance. The tables were spread out and there was a nice looking full bar and patio seating outside. We had the calamari which was juicy and moist! They served us some bread which was like a rosemary garlic focaccia, which I wish I could have taken home with me! So good! For entrees we tried the cannelloni special which was delicious! Beef spinach and ricotta served in long pasta tubes and drenched in this yummy vodka sauce, 10/10! The veal Marsala and the fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp were all winners too. We also tried the cannolis for dessert which were definitely yummy! Crunchy with the yummiest filling! Will be returning to try the lasagna & pistachio gelato Francesco!! If you want homemade Italian, go to Natalino's! read more

To be honest, I was a bit suspicious about Natalino at first. The exterior looks more like a sports bar than Italian restaurant. I had heard the food was great so I decided to try it anyway. The service was prompt and super friendly. I felt like I was at my Italian Uncle's house (if I had one ). The food didn't disappoint and now it's on my regular rotation for family style Italian. They are great for catering too! Enjoy! read more

Don't know how this place is rated highly at all, food was bland and seemed like it was microwaved. Quite possibly the worst tiramisu i've ever seen or tasted as well. Service wasn't terrible, guy who served me seemed like a nice dude. Don't come here for food though. read more

Food here is excellent. Portions are plentiful. Our first time here. Glad we found this Italian restaurant. Natalino, himself, is there making sure food was looking great off the line. Just a nice atmosphere. And lots of pride in this restaurant. Give them a try! We will definitely be back! read more

Love it here. It's become our go to place for exceptional Italian food. Always take the special. Tonight was neat and spinach cannelloni. It was delicious! Love the bruschetta. Better than any I have ever had. Husband had the veal Marsala. Nothing left. Can't wait to come back. I think we are regulars. read more

Best calamari we've ever had, and we order calamari at every restaurant that has it on the menu, we've traveled a lot, and this was our favorite. And we wanted to drink the sauce but that would've been weird. Everything we ordered was delicious, we will be back. read more

The rigatoni bolongnese was good, but not great. It lacked seasoning and was bland. The breas was good, but needed some butter included. Also the smoked chicken rigatoni is missing on the delivery menu. read more

Went here for a family dinner, my Italian grandpa recommended so we knew it had to be good. Service was friendly, quick and continuous. Appetizers and entrees were delicious. We ordered mostly pasta dishes for entrees and my one complaint would be the portion size of the ravioli compared to the other pasta dishes. I could have easily polished another plate of ravioli where my family was taking home leftovers. Regardless of the portion size we will be coming back! read more

Great Italian and the owner and son are there daily serving you. Not over priced and nothing canned. My favorites are pasta with smoked chicken or definitely the chicken Parmesan. read more

The food was delicious and generous portions. I had chicken cacciatore with fresh chicken breasts, Italian sausage slices, peppers and onions in a marinara sauce. The fried calamari was tender and flavorful with excellent marinara for dipping. My wife had veal marsala which was also excellent. The wait staff were friendly and helpful. The dining room is casual, clean, open and comfortable. read more

Natalinos just saved me from a huge bind. I was hosting my FILs funeral and the food from Chompies never arrived. I called Natalinos and the owner had 2 huge catering trays ready for me on the fly. He really saved the day, and everyone raved about how good it was. We also love coming in to dine with the family, and we have catered in the past with Natalinos and it's always amazing, the owner goes above and beyond (he even tried to help me find a oven repair guy last year) read more

Had lasagna, nothing special. It needed more flavor. The salad was very fresh. The bread also was okay

We've been going to Natalinos for 20+ years and have never been disappointed! The service is friendly and efficient and the food is amazing! Their veal is the best in town and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! read more

This is a real nice place if you're from back east and you like those neighborhood places where the owner comes out and greets you with a smile and you feel that family kind of atmosphere. Service was great and the atmosphere was really relaxing. Started out with mussels and white sauce with a wine and garlic and some butter and herbs and they were sensational. There was a lot of meat on those mussels which is rare to find from my experience. Brought out some nice herb bread with butter which was also really warm and tasty. My dinner was a veal marsala which was so tender and the sauce with mushrooms was so good. The steamed vegetables broccoli and carrots were a great side dish from my current diet plan. My other half had spaghetti meatballs and was very disappointed in the sauces she said it was very Bland and didn't have a whole lot of kick to it. So kind of a mixed bag but overall I like the place and I plan on going back. read more

Natalino's is a long time multi-generation restaurant... a real fixture in North Central Phoenix. I've been here twice, and it was quiet both times midday. Last visit I had the meatball appetizer (w garlic bread). It was a nice little dish to share but not quite a meal for one. I took the (hand made) mushroom ravioli to go, and that was the perfect portion size for one. I spiced up the Alfredo sauce with black pepper and red pepper flakes. That made it a bit better. read more
