We came in for dinner, and Jennifer was our server. She was very attentive and cheerful! She was quick to get our drink refills, and she was friendly and made small talk without being a bother. She was very relatable and enjoyable to talk to. The food was excellent. The value was superb. We would suggest this to friends, and will definitely be back again! Thanks for the great service and the great value and the great food! read more

Jennifer was awesome, service was wonderful! Always good food and great prices. Prime Rib

The beef stroganoff was excellent today 6/23/26. Tree B was my server, and I have had her before. Tree is excellent! She is the one who turned me on to the Beef Stroganoff. Tree is pleasant, quick and efficient. I will be back!! read more

The restaurant is a little old as far as decor. Don't let that fool you! The food is good and service was good too! There is a nice little outdoor patio By the pond. Love sitting out there and relaxing . read more

I just wanted to say how disappointed I was in the breakfast I ordered today, March 29, 2026. Both my husband and I ordered your Eggs Benedict, our second visit there. The first time was ok, we really had no problems, and thought we would give your restaurant another visit. We received our food after some time, but you were busy, so we had no problem waiting. Our plates arrived. My husband's plate was perfect, no problem. But as I cut into my eggs, they were cooked to hard boiled stage. So I waved down who I assumed was the manager or owner. Explained what the problem was, without even an apology, the plate was taken away. (#1)The server brought back my plate, (#2)with new eggs, however it was on the same plate with a partial eaten muffin on the bottom with not much hollandaise sauce on it! I asked her to please bring me a new fresh plate. After a little time, I was brought a new plate, again(#3). When I cut in once again, the egg had no yolk! Possibly broken somehow, I have no idea, but that was just unacceptable. That was so unacceptable that I had by this time lost my appetite and my patience. I asked for my breakfast be taken off the bill, which she obliged. And yes, she apologized. But I left there with no breakfast, on a Sunday, and quite upset. This will be our last time we visit your restaurant. Too bad, because we enjoyed our first visit, and only being here, SCW, for a couple of months, I thought we had found our go to place for breakfast. The hunt is on. Maybe your cooks need re-training. read more

We were visiting family in the area and they recommended we have dinner here one night. It was easy to snag a table for 4 at 7:00pm on a Thursday. The service was excellent. Our order was taken right away and each food item came out quickly. The prices are totally affordable for dinner- I noticed some of their cocktails are only $5. The coconut crusted tilapia was delicious. My husband really enjoyed the Sicilian chicken entree. Really good spot! read more

The lasagna was fabulous and so was Jennifer! We had a party of 9 and she was so attentive to all of us. Thanks for a great evening!

This was one of the first places I went to after moving to the area. My favorite here is the Avocado Krab Salad. It is kind of like a Cobb Salad, but with avocado and krab (imitation crab). Dressing is served on the side. It is so large and full of good things that I have never been able to eat the whole salad. Their other entries are very good as well. This place is very popular so I recommend going early to avoid the rush. read more

A friend and I go to breakfast there once a week and have for the past couple of years. We have been pleased with the food and the service. Gina has been our primary server with Cassie and others filling in. They have treated us like they have known us for years and greet us when we arrive and if we miss a week they question if we are ok. Very enjoyable. I hope the new owner doesn't make changes for the sake of making changes. read more

My husband and I were there last week and we had a server by the name of Kelly. I asked Kelly for any recommendations that day and she told me that the filet mignon was excellent so I ordered it had the sides with it. I had a baked potato and I also had some fresh vegetables and it was just absolutely delicious. She took care of us very well. She recommended some desserts which we didn't have room for, but promised that we would come back for another time, I would definitely come back again and I would definitely ask for Kelly's table. Thank you. read more

Foods and service were excellent Our server Gina C. was very friendly and was spot on with our orders read more

Best eggs Benedict with shaved ham! Always nice, great service too! I like get crispy hash browns with grilled onions on top.

Service was just bare minimum. The bussers were wearing ear buds and wouldn't acknowledge customers. Food was not prepared correctly, rare is not well done, rare should not be gray. Weird how they wanted food returned to kitchen after realizing there was an issue. Have eaten here many times, now not a place I would suggest... amazed how a 20.00 issue will cost them hundred in repeat business. read more

This restaurant was right across from our hotel and so glad it was. We ate here at least four times because the menu has so many options (but no pizza). We started requesting Brenda for our waitress she is so attentive. Oh they also have an amazing happy hour from 2:00 - 6:00 . read more

Very good food with excellent service from Kelly. Comfortable atmosphere-feels welcoming.

Amazing food! Jennifer was our server and she was wonderful! Very tentative and humorous. We really enjoyed our night.

Cassie is an unbelievable wait person. Personable, energetic, check back with us several times to check on her meal. Just the greatest.

Had a great meal tonight. Great food. Served fresh and hot. Kelly was our excellent server.

Prime rib was better than some of the more upscale restaurants at half the price. Everyone in our party was impressed with their meals, both in flavor and portion size. Our server, Kelly, was attentive and made our experience fun! Will absolutely be back. read more

The food is prepared in a way that you would the mom was back in the kitchen. The service is warm welcoming and efficient! The restaurant has a quaint comfortable feel. Highly recommend you give it a try! read more

Good for breakfast. We have had poor service during happy hour times. Nice ambience.

Food is very delicious. No matter what you order you get plenty of food. I'm a hearty eater but always have take home boxes. Staff is friendly and takes time to chat. read more

The food was delicious and our server Cassie was courteous, efficient and handled any concerns we may have had promptly I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for quality food, and great service read more

We sat outside on their dog-friendly patio. The patio had misters that kept the area very comfortable while we looked out on a beautiful green lawn and fountain. They have a variety of salads to choose from and the ones we tried were all delicious. Service was a bit slow but the waiter was apologetic and friendly. We will definitely return again when we are in the area. read more

YUM YUM YUM! Saw this restaurant when we were staying at Windmill Suites when we were looking to buy a home in Sun City. Loved the food. After we moved, many of our new friends said this was their favorite, too. We'll be back often! read more

From the moment we walked in the door we felt welcomed. Our service was great and our server (Zachary) was top notch. We started off with a couple of drinks. My wife had a glass of wine and I had an old fashioned. The wine was great, the old fashionable was a little weak but still acceptable. We ordered sweet heat of Italy. The dish had Italian sausage, peppers, pasta sauce, and penne pasta. The dish was hot, flavorful and plenty of it. We thank Tivoli's and their staff we will be back. Damn, yes we had the ice cream too Yummy! The restaurant is not the most up to date, but everything else makes up for it and we felt at home. Clean, good food, good service what else do you want. Give Tivoli's a try and let me know what you thought and don't forget to post a review. read more

great food and service. kelly our server was very pleasant and nice to talk too. their clam chowder soup is the best of any other restaurant. read more

The food was hot flavorful, and ample. I had the lemon baked cod, my wife had the sausage pasta. The alcohol options were limited, but sufficient. Service was good. The space was large with interesting decorations, yet quiet to talk easily during the meal. Table seating and bar seating is available. Check the times for when you go. They were closing as we were finishing our meal. read more

Spaghetti and meatballs was delicious and servings were large. Would return when back in the area. read more

Yum! There are so many pretend to be Italian places out there that one has the right to be suspicious on the first visit Food: I had the Ceasar Salad. The greens were fresh and chopped to the perfect length. The dressing was light and tasteful. I added the chicken OMG. The chicken was cut in stripes and was very tender as well as perfectly seasoned We shared the lasagna. The serving was large! I am a stickler for thick well seasoned marinara sauce. I was not disappointed. The pasta was perfectly cooked. The mix of cheeses was a fresh divergence from most lasagna that I have taste recently. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive without being obtrusive. Our food was served very quickly and at the correct temperature. The presentation was excellent. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. The seating was not crowded. It is not a fancy place, but who cares when the food is this good. Now to the wine. If there is a down side to this wonderful place it is the wine. There was not much of a selection and is was listed in only generic terms on the menu. The was not terrible, but compared to the food it was a disservice to the quality of the food. The pricing was certainly affordable for most budgets. I have reason to be in this part of phoenix a couple of times a year. Tivoli is certainly on my list of places to return too. Stay hungry my friends. read more

I was here about 10 days ago. My cousin had suggested it. everything was just fine. Service was very good.. restaurant was clean and staff was friendly. Food was great, price was very reasonable. Thank you very much read more

Tivoli Gardens - Me and my cousin - Italian Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

We heard good things about this restaurant and decided to give it a try. We started off by ordering drinks. Hubby ordered a Bloody Mary and I ordered a $9 mojito. I don't know if they have a real bartender or not, but the mojito wasn't made correctly. This was by far the absolute worst mojito I've ever had in my life!!! In all honesty, it tastes like dirty dish water with mint leaves! Not even sure if there was alcohol in it. Hubby's Bloody Mary wasn't great, but it was "okay" compared to mine. I ordered the Tuscan pasta and hubby ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. It was like eating Italian low budget fast food. Hardly even ate anything. The bread and ceasar salad was flavorful and actually the best part of the meal. Service was good. Very nice woman took care of us while the rest of the staff stood around with blank faces staring at the walls. 2-star rating for service, but realistically the rating is more like 1.5 stars. We will not be back. read more

Consistently great food, excellent service, reasonable prices, and specials worth keeping an eye on. Their muffins are delightful, and the Belgian waffles with fruit and whipped cream are absolutely fantastic. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hands-down, Tivoli's is one of my favorite holiday destination restaurants, especially around Thanksgiving. It's a place where you get to know the staff on a first-name basis, and you'll always find a table when you need it. read more

I have to be upfront you walk in and they have a sign that says they're going to charge you a fee for using a credit or a debit card. Is it legal to surcharge debit cards? If credit card surcharging is illegal in your state, you may now find yourself asking what the debit card surcharge laws by state are. Under the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, surcharges on debit cards are prohibited in the U.S. So, I asked to speak with a Manager the person never showed and then told that the owner would be in 2 hours later. I had cash and was going to stay, but the more I thought about it, I don't want to support a business that has that kind of policy. The unfortunate thing is menu prices take in the use of cards and their fees. Then a handful of restaurants are surcharging that because you use your card and encourage the use of cash! That's the consumer that loses because they pay full price. Remember when you use to get a discount for cash? They don't offer you a discount for paying in cash! And, remember I said menu prices are figured for the use of a CREDIT CARD and there are laws that limit the amount that can be surcharged. I have to give a star so I can give a review if possible I'd just wrote a review without one since we left after a manager owner didn't make themselves available. read more

Always a great classic standby --we had excellent service from Tyler our server and Dan the manager upfront was super friendly and personabl. read more

Tivoli's is classy, delicious, and a bargain. Service is old school wonderful. Will come again. Easy to get to, easier than I thought.

Came for Sunday brunch and for a small celebration - Elvis was turning 10 weeks old and we had to celebrate! Everyone was wonderful to the wet nose and the dry noses. We went to the patron enjoyed the shade, misters and fans. Elvis enjoyed ice water, bobbing for ice cubes and naps on the patio in between strolls in the grass and shade. Keep up the great work and thank you for making a fuss over Elvis! The Benedicts were fabulous and perfect portioning and wonderful fresh fruit: berries, tomatoes and avocados. read more
