Pasta Brioni
If you’ve ever eaten at a family-run Italian restaurant back East, you’ll appreciate what Pasta Brioni is all about. From the second you walk in the door to this Scottsdale establishment, the management and wait staff treat you like family – in fact, it seems that there are so many regulars at Pasta Brioni that many of them may be family. Rich wood paneling and a gorgeous wood bar, white linen tables, stained glass lights and Rat Pack music playing all add to this incredibly inviting ambiance.

"The food here just gets better and better. I'm addicted to their traditional Italian cooking style. The veal chop is not to be missed with the perfect grilling and no fat. Pasta dishes are prepared perfectly."

"Took my girlfriend for dinner before prom and she was blown away. It was a very elegant place and the servers were extremely friendly. Had great recommendations and answered all of our questions. All portions are a great size and are reasonably priced for the exceptional quality! Have already recommended it to friends and she's wondering when were going to go back! 5 Stars for sure!!"

"We found this a while ago restaurant using your site and took a chance. It is now a regular for us to celebrate occasions or when we are in the neighborhood. Whether lunch or dinner is the meal, we find delicious food that comes out hot every time and we can joke with the staff who shoot the one-liners right back at you. All in all a delightful experience."

"My party of four came for the food after learning about the resturant on Robert McGrath's tv program. We were not disappointed. The food had wonderful flavor ( which is hard to get in Arizona). The portions were just right and the presentation were alright. It is a cozy spot for good food and we would go again."

"I arrived late but the host sat two other people in my party, which was fine. I told them to order me a caesar salad in advance, and it was waiting for me when I arrived. Only issue was that server was a little tardy in taking an order to go. Still pretty good service and a pretty good meal."

"The host didn't really check if we had a reservation--just seated us at a table next to an area that wasn't being used (tables not set, boxes etc.). People came in after us without reservations and were seated in the main part of the restaurant. Our entrees were good but the pasta side was cold. Not up to our expectations based on other reviews."

"We have been fans of Pasta Brioni for several years so were very surprised at the poor service at our last visit. The service was very slow, one of the meals was not the dish that was ordered and the food was not hot. I hope that this was just an unfortunate experience and not an indication of what the future will bring"

"We enjoy Pasta Brioni and went there for Valentine's day. We ordered the mussels and it wasn't the best, and that happens with mussels in Arizona, so we're more than willing to give it a mulligan. We've enjoyed it highly in the past and intend to come back often."

"As visitors to Scottsdale entertaining family, some of whom are local, we were pleased to find this outstanding Italian restaurant tucked away just east of Old Town. The menu was robust with many interesting choices. The six of us had five different entrees, all of which were outstanding. The Chianti choices on the wine list were limited in number but provided all of the options one would want. One of the nicer points was that the noise level was such that we could have a conversation as we all reconnected without having to struggle to hear from one end of the table to the next."
