I highly recommend Easter brunch at the creek. We have come…read morehere for Easter brunch before but they didn't offer a buffet. The buffet was pretty awesome, they had many food options! One station had lunch/dinner options, the other station had breakfast options and a huge dessert station. I was very impressed with the food choices. The kitchen was hard at work. The Easter bunny always shows up, this is a great time to get those cute Easter photos with your kids. My 5 year old was so excited to see the Easter bunny after church! There was a lady going around taking pictures of the Easter bunny and restaurant guests. She took down my email so she could send us all the photos she took. It was the perfect Easter Sunday brunch.

Green chili burger was decent, burger a little too well done. Hawaiian chicken sandwich was enjoyed. Tater tots for both of us were too well done. Tough start as two ladies walking out of the place told us there was a weird smell inside. Then a customer at the bar was telling the bar tender as we walked in about the smell. I agree, there was a slight funky smell inside the place, maybe water backup or sewage. Seemed better in the dining room and did go away but not sure if that is just because I got used it.

This was my first time dining at Pizzicata (Mesa location), and the live music is what initially…read moredrew me in. The patio views are beautiful, and the weather made it such a great spot to sit outside in the evening. The live music was a perfect touch...not too loud, so you could still have a conversation comfortably. The owner even walked around and spoke with guests, and both he and his wife were incredibly friendly. You can tell they really take pride in the entertainment they provide and in making sure customers have a great experience. As for the food, it reminded me a lot of the pizza at A Modo Mio Cucina Italiana, which is just a few streets away. If you've had and enjoyed their pizza, you'll likely enjoy Pizzicata as well. I ordered the Jennifer calzone, and it was okay. I would try a calzone again, but with different toppings. I added a meatball for an extra $3, and honestly, it didn't quite hit the spot compared to homemade meatballs. The calzone had a lot of ricotta and not a lot of other ingredients in it, so if you're not a big ricotta fan, this probably isn't the best choice. That said, the ricotta itself had a different flavor than other ricotta I'm used to. The calzone doesn't come with sauce inside, and the side of sauce is pretty small. I was charged $0.50 for an extra... I probably could've used two or three sides of sauce since the calzone had none. That being said, the sauce itself was excellent... very close to the flavor of sauce that my family makes. This sauce really gave the calzone a good Taste, it just needed more! We also tried the mozzarella sticks, and those were good. Overall, the atmosphere is beautiful, the space is a nice size, and the staff is warm and welcoming. It seems like a good place to bring kids, although when we went (Thursday around 6), I didn't see many. The decor is lovely, and the overall vibe makes it a place I'd come back

Decided to try this place because of a post on Cave Creek Infamous Bulletin Board. Shout out for…read moreposting about it! Our first time in there JC was our server. She was awesome and encouraged us to try the pizza. The pizza was awesome. JC was so nice and so welcoming. The food did not disappoint. It was delicious and the pizza crust was the best we've had in the USA! JC told us that their flour is shipped in from Italy so it's much more healthier and TASTIER than the flour out here. Since it was so good we couldn't wait to bring our kids there. We were greeted immediately by Randy and sat immediately. Randy was an awesome server and our food came out very quickly. She checked on us enough to make sure our food was good and our drinks were always filled. She was very friendly and welcoming as well. Before leaving, we decided to get some gelato and Noah helped us. He was very patient with our chaotic family and gave us good recommendations on the gelato. This place is so cute, very clean, has awesome food, but most especially wonderful customer service. Good representation of Carefree and Cave Creek!!! I can't wait to bring out of towners here.

In an area loaded with many spots for a great meal, Arrivederci on Pinnacle Peak is not going to…read moremake my list. I would summarize my party's visit here as overpriced and a bit amateurish. What they did get right for us was a reservation with an on-time, ready table. I have been to many finer dining spots that have not been able to do that so I do credit them with being ready for my larger, work group coming in for a post-work related meal. There endeth any chance at an above-par experience. I found the menu to be a bit overpriced not only for portion size, but also for presentation and lack of attention to detail. As an example, there were several typos on the menu (a $13 Caprese Salad was listed as a "Carpese Salad" and descriptions of some menu items spell tomato inconsistently (found also as "tomatoe"). I can overlook typos or spelling inconsistencies at casual cafe menu's, but for a spot that is going to easily run north of $65 for a full meal and a glass of wine, it is my belief that attention to details like this matter. The food, while tasting fine, was portioned small for the price and presented with disappointing visual appeal. My main was $28 for a pretty simple pasta. I don't mind markup and I don't mind paying a higher price for a great meal but mine looked a bit unfinished, almost amateurish like it was put together by a high school home econ class. Lastly, the service was really polite but also sub-par for the setting and the prices. The hostess seated us and handed all our menus to me and asked me to pass them down the table to the others in my party instead of individually presenting them to each person. And our server was absent for long periods. We waited so long for dessert menus and eventually a check to be presented to us that it probably added 35 min on to our time in the restaurant. It was an awkward wait for my colleagues and several of them simply left before dessert menus or a check were presented. Because I had to stay at the table to wait for and pay the bill, I was unable to properly say goodbye to some of my guests as they left so that was not a good look for the restaurant in front of my colleagues that I was hosting. While we were provided with basics for a meal (table, food, server,etc.), none of it was all that memorable and none of it was up to the approximately $120/person value standard that I paid for each of my party. To be fair, there was nothing about our experience that was disastrous, but there are many other restaurant choices in the area that have delivered for us in the past at similar price points. Based on that, I know that Arrivederci should do better.

The dirty birdy and whiskey buck were such a hit we had a few. The appetizers we tried were delicious. The seared ahi tasted yummy and the pork belly with its crunchy exterior was gobbled up quick. We then tried the cauliflower and steamed clams. The broth for the clams was so good, we asked for more bread to sop it up. The cauliflower was yummy and everything on the plate was eaten up. The girls were full after that, but I wanted to try the beet salad. Have to say, one of the best I've ever had. Beets, arugula, goat cheese, walnuts (I think) and Orange slices with a tasty vinaigrette. Although the girls were 'full', they saw that and had to try it. Nothing left in that bowl as well. Overall, very pleasantly surprised and will for sure return to try other items on the menu. Service was great btw! My wife and I will certainly be back!

There is something on the menu for everyone, and it's all delish! Whether you're looking for some small plates to share or a full on meal, they have it all. The vibe is fresh and welcoming.

Ordered the cheeseburger (yes, I know it's a Mexican restaurant), fries and Shredded Chicken Fundido lunch special (Saturday). Our server, Christina (I think) was friendly and attentive to our needs. We received our food quickly. And, the portions were solid. The cheeseburger had a lot of flavor, which I'd heard about in other reviews. It was a pretty "fatty" patty - so thus all the flavor. The French fries were okay and the Fundido was good. I think I will stick to the house specialities - Mexican Food - and not get the burger again. Overall, still a great local spot for good food. There are 2 locations, less than a mile apart. So, make sure you know which one you are going to if meeting others!
