    First off there is not much indoor seating so come prepared that it's best for takeout. There are benches to wait on once your order is placed. The menu boards are well explained. Many options of either build your own or house specialties. Love the spin on some of the items like Meatball Minnow, Great White Cheesy Bread and Megalodon Meat Sauce Special to name a few! Customer service was very inviting, friendly and helpful in choosing meals. Dessert case has many delicious choices! Portion sizes are generous which is always a plus! Definitely going to keep this place in rotation for freshly prepared pasta for take out!

    I frequent the Pecan Plaza often for a few regular stores and local food spots, and this Italian carryout spot is tucked in the southwest corner of the plaza, around the corner from Home Depot & Goodwill. If you can place your order ahead of time so it's ready when you arrive. If not, expect about a 10-minute wait as it's run by the 2 owners, who do a great job keeping things moving. Aaron and James are great and they have something special here. , We've been here several times and like the variety they have with the menu so it's always about mixing it up. Our go-to items are the Spaghetti Shipwreck, which is a combination of pasta, sausage, meatballs, and Alfredo, along with marinara sauce. It's really good and I have to admit, they get the noodles right. You can taste the difference. They've recently added an arcade system full of vintage games which is a fun way to kill time while waiting on your order and they have a nice selection of individual desserts. We recently came in to place a catering order before the holidays and went with the half-and-half trays and got two of them along with the garlic bread. Food was a hit for our guests and we expect more return trips.

    I'm so surprised that I never heard of this place until my husband looked up "pasta" within 5 miles radius of our house. I was 15 minutes away from hangry and thank goodness we found this place! The online ordering was easy to navigate. The pick up process was easy. The owner was the one who helped me. The store might have a few chairs and a table, but it's meant to be a grab and go place. Love the brightness of the store and the beach theme! The portion size was large. I had leftover even I was very hungry. I ordered the mac and cheese and my husband ordered the shipwreck (cute names!) we also wanted to try out the garlic bread and a side a broccoli. 100% will return and try other dishes!!

    It's for take out, not an ear it there place. The owner/operator was really friendly and the food was ready quickly. My wife and I wanted to sample multiple things so we got the pasta with both marinara and Alfredo packaged separately, meatballs and garlic bread. Both sauces were good, the garlic bread had a nice flavor and the meatballs were delicious. The lemoncello cake was so good we regret we only got one to share. It's a fun shark theme, and they carry that into the meal names. For a quick and easy dinner it's a great option and we will be back, especially as we head to hockey practices in the future!

    Whenever I'm housesitting in a part of town far from my own, I like to check out the restaurants. Spaghetti Shark is a locally owned spot in south Tempe that opened in June. There's very, very limited seating in the storefront, so it's definitely a takeout-focused business. Pasta is the star here, obviously; you can build your own meal with lots of options for customization, or you can order a larger bundle for a group meal. There is also a limited selection of subs, breads and a Caesar salad. I ordered one of the combo options meant to feed a small group of maybe three or four. My order was ready quickly and the man behind the counter was very friendly. There's lots of cute shark decor inside and outside. The spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs were very good--rich flavor, nicely seasoned. After eating my fill, there's definitely at least two more meals' worth left, so they don't skimp on portions. I also got a piece of their house-made cheesecake with caramel sauce, which was great. The meal came with garlic bread, which wasn't bad, but it lacked something. A little more crunchiness? A little more garlicky goodness? It was fine, especially when dipped in the sauce, but I didn't love it. In this economy, I'm a little baffled by the spaghetti to go trend, as it's really one of the cheapest and fastest things to cook at home. But it's definitely a thing now, and Spaghetti Shark is a great place for it--fast, friendly and tasty, with a cute concept and prices that are comparable to other similar eateries. If you're looking for takeout pasta, especially to feed a family, I recommend it.

    I genuinely cannot WAIT to come back to this place. From the second I walked in, the atmosphere…read morefelt so classy, elegant, and elevated without being pretentious. It's the kind of restaurant that makes getting dressed up feel exciting and worth it, and I absolutely loved that about the experience. It felt like such a perfect date night spot or place to celebrate something special. The servers were also extremely attentive the entire night. Everyone was friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling overbearing. The service honestly matched the upscale atmosphere perfectly and made the whole experience feel even more polished. And OMG... the food. SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.

Anywho, the service was great, our server was knowledgeable of the drink and food menus! We got great suggestions!! Food arrived hot and delicious!! Our server checked in on us, but not overwhelmingly attentive. It's a balance and takes being aware, even when not directly at tables. The meatballs to sauce had a good balance, although there are times when I ask for an additional side of sauce, especially when I know I'm taking some home! The servers are always happy to do that for me! The pasta dish was so good, it's a large meal, so I took half home. Our drinks were spot on too, so good, chilled to perfection. Can't wait to go back!! Also, we walked to the desert bar and took some fresh tiramisu (not photographed) home!! So yummy and a decent sharing size!

The Espresso Mocha Torte was absolutely luscious. Is a great dessert to share because it is so rich. So good! I have to give so many bonus points for the customer service here. I had made an error and even though it was totally on me, the manager make sure that the bread and dessert was complementary. Even after I told her that I understood it was my mistake, she insisted and said she wanted us to go away happy. And we did! This place has been on our rotation for a while and it will continue to be. It's really such a perfect mix of lovely ambience, great service, and always amazing food. Keep in mind that this is Mill Avenue so you will need to allow a few minutes for parking. That said, we've never had an issue not finding a space out in front.

    Amazing, unique experience!…read more I arrived with the preconceived ideas about being jostled in long lines in a poorly cooled pizza joint, sitting in a crowded restaurant at plastic tables eating plastic food. That misconception disappeared immediately upon stepping through the doorway. Warm, inviting ambiance, full of character. Attending the birthday celebration for an esteemed young man, our table wasn't ready (we were early) and the hostess offered us seats at the bar while awaiting our party. We each had a wine spritzer... may I say that the very few such concoctions I've had bearing that name didn't do justice to what we were served. I've never had anything like this, a "Sgroppino" (I'm partial to strawberry!) and it was perhaps the best adult beverage I've had in a very long time. Many different nuances in a glass. Stunning subtle, many diverse flavors. Mmm. Our bartender was an artist of the mixed adult beverage, a delightful individual with a warm, genuine smile and an encyclopedic knowledge of how to do his job expertly. Rare that you meet someone like this who isn't all measuring cups and shot glasses: everything he concocted was done by eye, and judging by what he made for us, his expertise was immediately apparent. Ben fatto. È andata benissimo, brava. When we'd all arrived, we were escorted to the "garden shed"... a smaller out-building filled with racks of wine, perhaps an ideal place for small wedding receptions or engagement parties. Well-cooled despite our broiling Phoenix evening. We had the garlic bread; someone ordered IL Tagliere, Calamari (no, thank you), and a basket of bread. You know how you go to a hamburger joint and what you're served looks nothing like the photos of their menu? Go to CiBO's web site and look at their menu: What you see in their photos is what you get. One visit and next time you look at their menu online, you'll salivate. Yes, the food is that good. I ordered the calzone. Delicious. Getting through it wasn't pretty... but it was excellent. Huge, very generous entree. Excellent flavors. Our server was delightful, attentive without being a nuisance. Our water glasses never reached empty, and the stories about the birthday boy (and others) were never interrupted. We never made it to desserts. Too much food and amusing stories. CiBO: È andata benissimo, brava.
