    Chicken with Artichokes
    Betty C.

    A real neighborhood type spot. Not fancy, not overpriced and solid food, although not amazing. They did bring out some interesting bread with oil on the house. Wines by the glass were decently priced with generous pours. We had a salad with tiny chopped tomatoes, olives and cucumbers. It was very refreshing. My better half ordered the chicken cacciatore and said it needed a bit more flavor so he added salt and that helped some. My dish was the Chicken with Artichokes. It tasted just like chicken piccata but without the capers. Service was very professional and friendly. When we want Italian and don't want to break the back we might return.

    We went to Nick's at the recommendation of friends. They were impressed with the variety of Italian cuisine. What a treat! It wasn't a very big place in a small strip mall with just enough parking. I noticed all tables sitting, no booths so that they could accommodate any size party. The menu was enormous with a wide variety of favorite Italian food including but not limited to pizza, pasta, beef, veal, and seafood dishes. My wife and guest selected eggplant parmigiana, our friend Dev picked a wonderful Salmon dish and I picked my all time favorite Chioppino. Of course I believe I got the best entree on the menu that included shrimp, calamari, mussels, in a wonderful marinara sauce on a bed of linguine, I was in New York heaven. We all had such big portions there was no room for dessert; however, the ample and delicious drinks made up for it. It's easy for me to recommend Nicks to you for an excellent dining experience at a moderate price!

    Amazing!!! Everything. I had Salmon w/crepes pasta and IPA. My friend had Lobster ravioli w/ martini and both prepared perfectly. You're going to want more! Can't go wrong with anything. Very accommodating. Might as well get their amount catered. Super delicious. Easily located. Friendly environment. I got comfortable I could of sat all day and tried everything. Their very popular. Drinks are yummy too. People, Food, service, table arrangements, decorations, Yes everything great. Nick was hanging out too.

    Okay food and service here. I'm not much for southern Italian food, even though I am Italian. But if you generally like Italian food, you'll probably like it. I would have given then one more star if their bread seemed homemade or was authentically Italian.

    This place is phenomenal. I love the environment & service. The noodles were homemade from scratch and the bread tasted real and had substance. I will be back for-sure and recommend this to anyone looking to find a one of a kind restaurant in the Scottsdale area.

The only thing is you need to ask for extra bread, the bread that was given just wasn't enough, but they made some fresh pieces just for us! The pizza crust is so crispy without even a touch of the bottom being burnt. We will definitely be back!

The hostess was very friendly and led us back to the community table near the bar. Our server/bartender was busy at the bar and taking orders. No smile, a no- nonsense personality which is fine, just not friendly at all. My husband and friend decided to do beer flights. They enjoyed except for one of the beers they said had no flavor. I opted for a Tito's dirty martini which is my favorite drink. They enjoyed the beer flights but unfortunately when my martini was delivered, I swore the glass hadn't been properly washed as it had a sweet, coffee taste. I let our server know and she immediately took it and said she would make another which was great. I did see her grab a new glass. Unfortunately the new martini tasted exactly the same. Almost like a terrible espresso martini with olive juice. It was not drinkable. Either she didn't know how to make a dirty martini or the olive juice or vermouth went bad. I couldn't stomach the drink and felt nauseous so left it. We ordered a Chef's Board. Cheese selections, plus pepperoni, salami, prosciutto, mixed nuts & fruits, olives and fig jam. They missed the nuts, fruit and olives. The meat and cheese were good but it was a basic board. We should have ordered the pizza instead as everyone around us had a pizza and it smelled delicious. Our first visit was not the best experience, however, we may give it another try and check out the pizza instead.

    Came here with my husband several times. And I would say this is one of our favorite Italian…read morerestaurants in Scottsdale. The food we ordered were all really delicious! The chicken was juicy and tender, lasagna was creamy but not too greasy, the rigatoni was full of flavors (spicy, lemony, and fragrant), and the fried seafood had a light batter. Not to mention the tiramisu - you could feel the coffee and mascarpone melted in your mouth immediately. I would say since this is a global chain, their Italian food is globalized in a way that some Italian tastes are gone. But still , you can tell the food is high quality and the chef put efforts in it. We also liked the Italian vibe in the restaurant - really bright and inviting. Overall, a great place to hang out with family and friends to get some Italian taste!

I'd go back if I were in the area and try some of the other pasta dishes and maybe a marinara pizza, but still have a lot of other pizza/pasta places I'd like to try first. Pros 1. Very nice manager. The real deal Italian from Naples! 2. Pizza was simple and very good 3. They have ricotta gnocchi (preferred over the heavy potato gnocchi) Cons 1. A lot of the food on the menu was very pricey. The pizzas and pasta without protein were a more reasonble price. 2. Very dark and empty inside the restaurant (this may have been because it was late).

Because the patio was all covered, and it was not but two tables with customers, the staff spent more time on their phones and drinking Starbucks rather than doing stuff or working behind the scenes. Our server was amazing. The rest of the staff who were waiting for customers to come in spend their time standing around and on their phone. For not having a lot of people in the restaurant, our water bottle was never refilled, our appetizer plates were not removed off our table before the guy came to put down two pies so I had to move plates around. It was almost like it was a burden us being there. The lady who was making the pizza, was in the kitchen, eating pizza... All visible from our table. The Alba pizza was amazing. The spinach dip was mediocre and you don't get much spinach dip for the amount of bread they give you. The fried raviolis are mediocre. The best part of this is if you're looking for a piece of pizza or a pie, the price point is decent. I would have upped the stars if the staff actually cared about the customers that were actually there to eat. This was the first time there for us and we probably won't be back.

My son got a pizza that was shaped like a wine bottle, LOL and I got a salad and some bruschetta. My son gobbled the pizza down so quickly -- not sure if he tasted it but it looked cute. The bruschetta was ok -- I really liked the toppings but the bread just wasn't toasted enough. I actually took three pieces home and put in my air fryer later and they were really good -- too bad they didn't cook them enough. The salad was yummy but nothing too notable. My son and I had a nice lunch. Not sure if I would come back because it is not really close but interesting little area for a number of restaurants to try!
