I really wanted to like Nook Kitchen, but my experience was unfortunately disappointing from start to finish. First, I was placed on a 7-minute hold and no one ever came back on the line. I arrived at the time they told me my food would be ready, only to find it already sitting out and completely cold. Food was not worth the price. Attached photo for reference. To make things worse, the price online showed $19, but I was charged $30.55 in person -- a huge and unexpected difference with no explanation. Overall, I would not recommend. There are plenty of other places in the area that offer better service, accurate pricing, and food that's actually served hot. read more

Wanted to use my Amex Resy benefit so I chose Nook based on reviews. It was just ok. Food was ok, service was ok. My favorite part was the ambiance tbh. Wasn't a fan of the meatballs, almost felt undercooked. Didn't try their pizza but the photos looked good. read more

I LOVE Nook's pizza, but $16 (plus delivery fees fees) for 2 oz of Brussels Sprouts put me over the edge. This will never be okay, and I'll never return. Bummer. read more

All I can say is WOW. I had heard about Nook from coworkers and drove by it about a hundred times before stopping in tonight. What an amazing spot. The pizza is unbelievable - light, pillowy crust with amazing flavors. The watermelon tomato salad also stole the show. Great wine selection, perfect music (& conversational volume), amazing flavors, fun environment, and good service! This will be my new go-to spot! read more

Great place for dinner! The calamari appetizer and the prosciutto pizza were both delicious. Service was extremely attentive and friendly. Parking is small and they valet so you don't have to stress which was a nice feature. Sit on the patio if you happen to be eating around sunset, beautiful views. read more

The vegan Campanella is my new favorite pasta dish. Probably have thought about it on a daily basis since going so... if y'all wanna drop me the recipe to try to copy it since I live out of state Service was great, decor is cute, not too busy on a Saturday evening around 6pm. Parking is a little wonky but they offer valet, if you're now down to valet there's a parking lot next door it's just a bit of a walk. read more

Based on all the good reviews, it makes me think that maybe we need to try it again. I have always wanted to try this place as I have driven by hundreds of times. It is very cute. The service was friendly and on top of it. Parking can be limited so you either valet or park at the strip mall down a bit. But the most important critique is really about the food. We both ordered pizza and honestly we both felt it was one of the worst we ever have eaten. I wish it had been better as the pictures look amazing. The pizza was on the limpish side so it may have needed to be cooked longer but also there was not anything about the actual taste to make up for that. read more

Came here because it is on Resy and I will get Amex credit. On the pricy side like pretty much everything these days. Service was outstanding and so was the food. I had short rib ravioli, it was outstanding, a lot of meat. read more

Got a take-out order on Mother's Day, everything was ready at the specified time, packed up nicely, no orders missing or mistaken, nice service. Food was great, the fresh made pastas were delicious with flavorful sauces, daughter has the wood plank bbq salmon (came on the plank) and she enjoyed it very much. We would definitely like to dine-in sometime as the interior seemed very nice and comfortable. read more

As we have always enjoyed establishments run by Matt and Frank so we anticipated the very best. Sadly we had a bad experience. Several employees with long beards not wearing beard nets is off putting, especially the pizza maker! ( Az Standard) We expect a little char on pizza crust but ours was totally burned with scant dried up topping. High charge for a 12 ". This is a popular dining establishment. Just difficult for Wally and I to see why. read more

We took good friends to the Nook this evening and had the best experience. Only waited a couple minutes for a table in the bar.. a quiet corner where we could talk and even catch a NBA playoffs game. Our waiter was super attentive and made suggestions. Pizzas were great and so was the Peroni beer! We will be back... can't beat the combination of great service and delicious pizza! read more

Outstanding dining experience! I was pleasantly surprised with the ambience, never have I tasted a better chicken marsala in my life! From craft cocktails to mouthwatering appetizers and entrées Nook Kitchen is a must try in the Arcadia fine dining scene. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

So fab! Love the Bucatini a La vodka, the Caesar salad, arancini, calamari, and my favorite is the oven fired version....Porto e Funghi. Awesome! Hard to find a good Italian restaurant in Phoenix, but this is our go to. Be there at least once a week and the owners are brothers and are super when it comes to best service! Worth any Uber quick ride from downtown old Scottsdale. Take a Waymo! read more

This place is meh.... With that being said, Service was great. Pizza was fantastic, "nookie" dessert was great. The risotto and bolognese were less than average. Granted risotto is hard to do well but for $34 bucks at this level of restaurant it needs to be done really well. I would come back for pizza if I was close and in the mood but otherwise- too many other places to give a shot to. read more

Very tasty and nice atmosphere. Good service. Five stars!!!! We enjoyed eating here very much.

Had lunch today with a dear friend at Nook. Their Espresso Martini is a must!! Start with the Brussels sprouts! Their cache e pepe was delish as was the meatballs! Their blondie dessert with peanut butter carmel and ice cream was amazing!! Tremendous server and owner!! Great overall experience!! read more

10/10 Thursday 6p - resi for 6 We got to pick table or booth - loved that! Greeted promptly, offered a sample of the wine I was unsure of, which was the suggestion and I loved it. Salads and food came out in the order we liked. Everything tasted great and felt as if it was made to order just for us. Bolognese is the only pic I got of my order bc no one could keep their hands off the food for more pics. Ordered and loved: Diablo pizza 5 Cheese Lasagna Bolognese w/ linguine Shrimp scampi Caesar salad Noble Bread is an added touch of locals supporting locals including all beer taps are local so when you see the style of beer the handle pour is rotating of the local breweries 10/10 support small businesses!! Ok my last thoughts are there's a few bar stools by the pizza oven that I really need to sit at because it feels exclusive and don't forget dessert we had 2, one was a peanut butter cookie with ice cream and a fudge sauce and the second was a chocolate chip cookie with ice cream and caramel sauce. I unfortunately am bad with names but our server and everyone we encountered was 10/10! This is our new favorite read more

This place is really cute and trendy. Our server was amazing! She was so laid back and nice. I the happy hour. Wine, pizza and steak it was all delicious. I love prosciutto and arugula pizza. When I saw that on the menu I knew I was in the right place. It did not disappoint. read more

We stopped at Nook after walking out of another restaurant where the service was awful, and it completely turned our night around. From the moment we sat down, the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Everything was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and plated beautifully. You can tell the kitchen takes real pride in every dish. The service was exceptional and stood out just as much as the food. Our server went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Nook is a true gem in Phoenix with a great atmosphere, incredible food, and outstanding service. We will absolutely be back. read more

I can't say enough good things about Nook Kitchen. This is our 3rd visit here, and it only gets better each time. We are always greeted warmly by the staff and get wonderful recommendations. Our waiter tonight was Brad who did not lead us astray! We started with the new appetizer the Potato Chips. Didn't sleep on this one! My husband always gets the cacio y Pepe, and I really enjoyed the bucatini al vodka. We finished with The Nookie and the banana cream pudding. I would literally fly back to AZ just to have another meal here. read more

This is a reoccurring theme with this restaurant. Accept orders then wait 20 minutes and cancel them. It's happened 3 times now. Why even advertise you are open if you can't fulfill your orders? read more

Went as a group and most of us weren't loving the food. The staff were very attentive and the ambiance was quite nice.

The food is fresh, delicately prepared, and the service is impeccable. The cocktail program matches the menu creativity and quality, as well. And, the whole place has a welcoming atmosphere. read more

The Nook, what a perfect and wonderful surprise. My husband and I came here for last minute date night and had originally heard good things. We were seated right away and greeted by different servers. They were both very personable, attentive and gave great rundowns of the menu. We ordered the bartenders choice cocktail and we were fans of both! Although everyone shared different recommendations, we decided to go with pan seared scallops, chicken Marsala & start with arancini. The Arancini was okay, a bit dry, could have been better with more cheese or sauce. Glad I tried it but pretty basic. However the dinner options were phenomenal! The scallops were very savory and need to be balanced with something else. Very good but I wouldn't be able to eat that alone. Luckily my husband and I shared, which the server split and delivered to us on separate plates, such a nice touch. The best of the night was the Marsala, it was so good, by far the best we've ever had. Also, my husbands least favorite pasta dish is Marsala, but he knows I love it and the server recommended. After my husband tried this he was eager to come back again! He LOVED the Marsala! NOOK kitchen, you've turned my husband into a believer. Overall, this location has great vibes, very friendly staff and dishes that keep us wanting more - 5 stars! read more

Great date night spot. The ambiance is as delightful as one might think ....I thought we should try and make a place for them.....

I've been a loyal customer of Nook Kitchen for years, and they never disappoint. Their wood-fired pizzas--everything from the Diavolo to the Calabrese--are outstanding: crisp crust, perfectly balanced toppings, and lightning-fast turnaround thanks to their imported Italian oven . But let's be clear: pizza is just the beginning. Every dish--from handmade pasta like their Sunday Sauce and Linguine & Meatballs to creative starters like arancini and wood-fired olives--is consistently delicious . They've really got the full range of Modern American cuisine with Italian roots down to a T . The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and inviting--perfect for a date night, family gathering, or catch-up with friends. Cozy booths, glowing lights, friendly staff... it's the kind of spot where you relax and enjoy the evening . And for those late-night cravings? Nook is open late on Friday and Saturday--full menu until 11pm, limited bites until 1:30am--making it the ideal weekend go-to for a last bite and a drink read more

AMAZING!!! I love how this place is very lowkey!!! I came here for a quick dinner. I ordered the Bolognese. It was a bit spicer than I expected, but other than that it was EXTREMELY DELICIOUS!!! The pasta was so fresh! I wonder if it's made in house. I didn't ask, but it absolutely tastes VERY fresh!!! I highly recommend this place to others. 10/10 read more

My wife and I have LOVED this restaurant FOR YEARS, and I would say it is one of the best restaurants we have been to in the world. Their pizza is on par with any Neapolitan that we've ever had and that includes, you know, that local place. This place has a beautiful space in a marvelous location with KILLER drinks and food, but why we LOVE this place is the quality of their people. We followed this place out east after they left their location closer into town and they have CONSISTENTLY hired the BEST people. Currently, we bring friends and family who are in from out of town so they get to meet their lovely people like Nicholas and Jacob who treat us like royalty. Thank you Nook!!! read more

Excellent food. Excellent service. I will recommend NOOK to all my FRIENDS. My son and I had the Nook Burger with French fries. The burger was a smashed burger with grilled onions, fontina, dill pickles and Nook Sauce( kinda like thousand island dressing! PERFECTO!!! read more

I finally made it to Nook last night and it was better than I had hoped. I could definitely see it becoming a neighborhood hang out for me from time to time. Upscale but not snobby, low key vibe. It would be a great place for a date, because the tables are set up in a way so that you can have an intimate conversation. I sat at the bar and I thought the bartender was very sweet and attentive. I didn't get his name. He's listed on the receipt as PM Bar 400. As you'd expect, there was an interesting cast of characters at the bar. There were TV's all around playing sports, but it wasn't an obnoxious sports bar in any way. I had a glass of the Evolution Pinot Noir. At first I wasn't very impressed but the more I tasted it, the more complex it seemed, as a pinot noir should be. I got a pizza bianco with just carmelized onions. There were combo pizzas listed on the menu but I didn't want any meat or heavy ingredients that changed the texture of the pizza. It was delicious and perfectly baked (Neopolitan style). I'm a serious foodie and a serious Italian. And you can definitely tell when pizza is made well. The dough can't be over-handled or the crust will be tough. There was some olive oil on the pan. I couldn't tell whether the oil had dripped onto the pan or it was drizzled to prevent the pizza from sticking. But the olive oil was good quality. Overall, a really great experience. And really nice to find someplace open until 10, because I go to The Nash on Sunday nights for Jam Session and it's hard to find someplace open past 9:00 PM. Highly recommended! read more
