    Pasta dishes were dry. The Ziti has little sauce and hard to find cheese. Overly sweet. Appetizers were overly sweet. Had Brussel sprouts, burrata which had beets that were still raw. Couldn't chew them. Holiday lights and drinks advertised felt uninspired like they did it to advertised to get people in the door but were low effort to put it mildly. Servers brought dinner and never saw her again. Would have ordered another drink if they ever came back. We paid and left. Very disappointing unfortunately.

    We had been to the Phoenix location of Pubblico, which has since closed. That location had a great, more stylish, upscale ambiance with dim lighting, lovely wallpaper, and a great bar, so this location's decor was a bit of a let down. The hostess was friendly and seated us right away. The bar stools were completely full, and I got the feeling that this is a neighborhood hangout. we ordered: *Limonata cocktail *An old fashioned *Basil smash cocktail *Meatballs *Fried calamari *Pepperoni pizza *Brussel sprouts Everything tasted fine, not fantastic, but pretty good. I really liked the pepperoni on the pizza--there is some pepperoni which I don't care for. The cocktails were delicious and fairly strong. The prices are not bad here and there is plenty of parking. I would say it's a decent choice for a casual Italian meal.

    Chicken Parmesan
    Jorey C.

    We requested a booth per usual and indeed got a booth! Very nice. The restaurant as busier when we got there at 7pm but then it quickly died down. It's a cute smaller place with an outside covered patio. I got the gluten free mushroom and roasted shallot pizza and I was impressed. Chewy but not too chewy. Had some nice crunch to the outer edges of the crust. Great amounts of the mushroom and roasted onion, which had a nice umami sweet contrast. The truffle cream sauce is to die for, not too heavy but rich tasting. Loved it, had leftovers. My boyfriend got the chicken Parmesan and loved it. He thought it was a pretty decent portion size. Nothing to complain about here! They also put more Parmesan on your meals if you like - can never have enough parm!

    Came for their holiday pop up, stayed for everything else. Our waiter, Wes I believe, was super friendly and attentive. Decor was so fun for the season. Beyond just the seasonal things, cocktails and food were great. We accidentally got served the wrong pizza, but it was good looking enough to not mention anything since all the pizzas on the menu seemed like a good choice, and the flavor and crisp of the crust was perfect. Calamari was a greater starter. Too bad their sugar cookie martini won't be here year round because it was delish. Overall, we'll definitely be making a trip back even when the halls are not decked

    I ordered pick up. The restaurant is in a center so lots of parking. It was somewhat busy for a Wednesday evening when I arrived but very cute place. It was lively with lots of people sitting on the patio area or even at the bar. I ordered the carbonara pasta and the clams/mussels appetizer. The appetizer - you can choose to do all clams or all mussels or a mix. It came with a couple pieces of garlic bread. Very delicious. Reminded me a little of cioppino which I couldn't tell what the market price was on their website so I did not order. The carbonara was DELICIOUS! The first time I had this type of pasta was in Italy and it came with the same type of pasta (gemelli) that was fresh rolled and this was almost just as good!!! I can't wait to come back and try more items off of the menu and potentially eat in.

    Potatoes

    Super cute Italian restaurant. We came on a Monday night. We had Taylor as our waiter. He was wonderful!! It was my first time but my friend who recommended us meet here is a regular there. She loves this place! She said that everything she has had is great here. And the service is incredible. Tonight: my friend got the full size salad. I got the prosciutto and arugula brick oven pizza and my boyfriend got the chicken parm. My friend enjoyed her old fashion and full size salad. My boyfriend enjoyed the chicken parm and potatoes. I absolutely loved loved loved my pizza. I asked to replace the red sauce with white sauce. It was so good!! It was crunchy but also very flavorful. The prosciutto provided the saltiness while the arugula made me feel healthy. lol The garlic bread was crunch and full of flavor! Loved this place.

    Rigatoni Pasta
    Karen W.

    Had a lovely lunch with an equally lovely friend here at Pubblico. We opted to sit on the spacious shaded patio but the indoor seating looked pleasant as well. Since the pasta is house-made I opted to get the rigatoni since it came with bolognese sauce and it was heated in a wood fired oven. When it came out it looked fantastic. It was a generous portion with perfectly al dente pasta, large chunks of sausage, just the right amount of full flavored sauce, plenty of ooey gooey cheese on top. I opted for some freshly grated Parmesan cheese which put it over the top. Service was polite and we were checked on as needed. Details: - Across from McCormick Stillman train park - Dog friendly patio - Lunch specials and happy hour specials - Styrofoam to-go packaging

    Clam Linguine
    Gayl B.

    Soooo delicious! I had the clam linguine, and it truly was freshly made! How do I know? I've been making homemade noodles for family get-togethers for years! This was an excellent dish! I also shared the calamari appetizer (which was very tender not chewy at all), and the meatball appetizer. Was I too full for dessert? Unfortunately, yes. Maybe next time. We sat on the patio and am so thankful that the weather has cooled off enough to be able to enjoy a meal outside! Our waiter was fantastic! Angel took great care of us! He was personable and efficient!

    Sangria and Mojito
    Jamie M.

    Pubblico is in a shopping center of sorts and is tucked away in a corner with very dark windows. Based on the location and initial appearance, my partner was skeptical of my dining choice for the evening. But then we entered and were pleasantly surprised. The decor is modern with metallic wallpaper in a damask-like pattern. The benches and booths are red, with a wood floor and tables. This isn't an old-school Italian restaurant. Our server was especially genial and complimented our choices when we selected our drinks and our dinner entrees. I'm certainly not immune to someone complimenting my taste, and this server's strategy was quite effective on me. It made me not only like him more but it made me more excited to receive the food and drinks we selected. I ordered the Sangria (I seem to be on a Sangria kick this trip to Arizona) and my partner had the mojito. Both were great after a long day of dropping the kiddo off at college in the most oppressive heat I've ever experienced in my life-115 degree temperatures today. The food was very good. I had the salmon with roasted potatoes and broccolini. The salmon was perfectly cooked and well seasoned, both of which can be hit or miss when dining out. My partner had the pizza (as he often does) and he reports that it was good, but not as good as the pizza he makes at home. To be fair, he has never had a pizza that is as good as the pizza he makes at home and he did finish the entire pizza at Pubblico, so do what you will with that bit of information. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by our visit to Pubblico and enjoyed our evening here.

    salmon & watermelon salad
    Kathryn D.

    I reserved a space on the patio so I coud bring my dog. When I arrived, to check in, the host was rude, nearly pushing me out the door because I had my dog in my arms. I know dogs are only allowed on the patio, how am I to let the host know I am there if I just go sit down? My waiter was quite nice and efficient. I ordered the salmon and watermelon salad and an aperol spritz. The salmon was so dry, it was like fish jerky. The salad was very pretty, yet hardly dressed. I requested extra dressing and salt. Why there isn't salt and pepper on the table is a wonder to me. I used to frequent Pubblico. I don't think I'll go back.

    Calamari.
    Jess B.

    From the moment we rode our bikes up we were greeted by multiple super friendly employees. We were dressed in workout gear after riding bikes & we asked if casual attire was OK. They were all so nice & welcoming & said sure! Excellent first impression! We ordered the calamari, chicken parm & lobster ravioli. Everything was fresh, delicious & so good! The lobster ravioli is the best we've ever had! Pubblico is 10 out of 10 amazing!!! Everything about this place was excellent! Great customer service, comfortable outdoor seating, & the food was off the charts good!

    Do they offer gluten free pasta?

    We do! We carry a gluten free pene that can be substituted in any of our pasta dishes.

    How casual is the attire, I am guessing very casual?

    It's Scottsdale anything goes. You can wear shorts and you can wear a dress. I say dress for the occasion. If you like to dress so it!

    When is dinner during the week or what food is available in scottsdale from 11am-4pm?

    If I'm not mistaken, it's the same food all day, all of which is delicious! Options light enough for lunch and heavy enough for a hearty dinner!

    What time is happy hour and what days of the week?

    7 days a week 4-6

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.

The first thing that stands out is the massive, beautifully maintained outdoor seating area. It's covered, pet-friendly, and thoughtfully designed with fireplaces and privacy walls that give each table a more intimate feel. There's even an outdoor bar where you can grab a drink while you wait or just enjoy the atmosphere. Inside, the décor is incredibly creative. Butcher knives and custom cutting boards line the walls, and the open kitchen showcases hanging meats so you can see everything in action. The bakery area adds another layer of charm, with rolling pins and whisks hanging from the ceiling, it all feels intentional and immersive without being over the top. The menu is just as fun and different as the space itself. I started with the Sicilian wedge and then had to go for what they're known for, the handcrafted meatballs. You can mix and match meatballs with different pastas, but the real showstopper is the "meatball carousel." It lets you sample multiple meatballs with their recommended sauces, all presented on an elaborate Ferris wheel-style display that turns heads across the restaurant. It's a full experience, not just a meal. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. What truly made the night, though, was our server, Mia. She struck that perfect balance of fun and professional, engaging, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to interact with. She guided us through the menu, made great recommendations, and brought a level of energy that elevated the entire experience. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows. For dessert, we went with the traditional Sicilian cannoli stuffed with Nutella and a lemon tart that was so good I'd honestly consider flying back just to have it again. This place delivers on every level, atmosphere, creativity, food, and service. I'll absolutely be making this a regular stop anytime I'm in Phoenix.

I had high expectations, and while it was good, it was more on the average side compared to everything else. And finally the butter cake for dessert absolutely knocked it out of the park. You could literally taste the butter in every bite, Unreal. Pricing is very reasonable, and overall the service and food were beyond exceptional. We'll definitely be back!
