Pasta Brioni

"Came here after a week of traveling in Scottsdale. This was by far the best experience my companions and I have had while dining out. The Penne Vodka Pasta was superb. Our server Richard, was very attentive and made our experience here amazing. The staff seemed to genuinely care about our experience and the food was amazing. If I could give this 10 stars I would!"

"A true authentic Italian restaurant with the taste and vibe of an old style family run resturant. The fresh daily made pasta was great along with the meatballs. The service was great with all the staff chipping in to help our three generation visit including fresh boiled vegetables for the grandkids. There's even a kids menu. You could still taste the eggplant through the parmesean, so that was great as well."

"My husband and I were both super excited to try this restaurant as we adore Italian food and always make sure to try different spots throughout AZ. The reviews and photos for this place looked great. I will say out the gate: the appetizers are bomb, and we loved, loved, loved the calamari and toasted ravioli. With the meal starting off strong like that, we had high expectations for the rest of the meal. However, we were disappointed when the entrees (veal piccatta and the linguine pescatore) came. While the dishes were decent, the pastas were sort of bland and the portion sizes were extremely small, especially for the price. With the flavors being unremarkable, the portion size was kind of the nail in the coffin for our experience. Even the bread brought out in the beginning was literally a roll per person and the salad was the kind you'd expect to get as a side dish with your meal and not a separate item. Finally, even my husband's tea came out cold (twice) and the tiramisu was, sadly, mostly just a custard cup. The ambience is kind of casual and could be better with the choice of music and decor, but the waiters were definitely kind. The effort was solid and the food has potential, but was, overall, really underwhelming and we left unsatisfied (and a bit hungry) even after a $100+ check."

"Very nice family owned, neighborhood Italian restaurant. Love their greek salad with chicken; pizza, Cesar salad, and amazing sauce. They missed adding chicken on a delivery and personally drove over with a new order for me. Friendly and personable staff. Highly recommend."

"We went for the Restaurant Week prix fixe menu of $33.00 each, and had a fantastic & filling dinner. We both chose the same thing, except for my husband had the wine pairing with each course (3) for $20. Before we ordered, they served their bread rolls that are generously topped with melted garlic butter and served with herbed butter. I probably should've paced myself for the feast ahead, but these rolls were so warm and smelled so good that of course I had one. For the starter, we each had a Caprese. The slices of mozzarella cheese were fresh and large, the tomatoes nice and red, and there were Italian olives and sun dried tomatoes marinating on the side. Our entree choice was Vodka Penne, and one order was enough for two people, so we brought home the rest (and I ate both the next day for lunch, haha...Yum)! I suppose it goes without saying that Pasta Brioni knows their pasta! The ratio of cream to garlic to butter to deliciousness was so good, I would have kept eating it if there were more left. For dessert we had the most amazing cheesecake that either of us have ever had. It had a touch of cinnamon in it, and was topped with a garnish of thin, homemade brittle made with finely chopped nuts. It tasted like "fall In heaven." The service was great, the atmosphere calm, and it was a beautiful evening."
