Arrivederci Cucina Italiana 12645 North Saguaro Boulevard, Fountain Hills, AZ 85268

"I rarely write reviews, but this was such a gem that I stumbled on while traveling for work, that I felt compelled to say Bravo to the owners! The food was amazing Sicilian-style Italian and they have a fantastic wine list. I walked in right at 5pm and the place was already packed, which shows how great it is!"

"Their happy hour (Daily 3-7) can’t be beat! $3.50 pints of cold Peroni beer! Top that with a great selection of tasty incredible food. Their daily cocktail specials are always inventive, delicious and tough to choose from. Gage the bartender is wonderful, attentive and he really knows his drinks and comes up with interesting and unique cocktails I would’ve never thought of. Today was hot so I tried the Watermelon Sangria which was incredible! Light, tasty without being overly sweet and very refreshing. Their Daily Bar Special (food) was 3 oz each of shrimp, scallops (both in a light paprika sauce) and 3oz of Filet Mignon on a bed of lettuce that I ate as a salad, all cooked perfectly, all for $16.95! It was the perfect portion for me and allowed me to have a little of each of my favorite proteins. I walked by a gentleman who had just been served the Veal Ossobucco and it looked tender, juicy and fall off the bone delicious. We’ve eaten here a few times and have never been disappointment. I highly recommend Arrivederci, most especially their happy hour."

"Loved the armpshere of this place. Very quiet on the outside and such a lovely view. We were there on a Tuesday at 5, so there weren't a lot of people. The waitress was good, but not very helpful with suggestions. We started with two glasses of Merlot. Tue bread was a good start. We then got Peronis for our meal. My wife got the Penne All Vodka with sausage. We love the sauce, and it paired well with the sausage. I opted for the Ciambotta di Pollo e Salsiccia. It was good. A little more tomatoe taste than my wife's. We had the tiramisu for desert, which was very good. It would have been better paired with a desert wine. Maybe next time"

"Great experience and service. Food was amazing. My son had the filet with the gorgonzola cream sauce and ate almost every bite. The tiramisu was the best I have ever eaten. We will be back! Thank you!"

"My wife and I have been here a couple of times the food was delicious as always but the service this time was not up to par. We had to keep reminding the waitress to bring us oil & balsamic vinigar for our bread, parmasean for our food and they were completely out of gnocchi & ravioli which were 2 of the dishes we wanted to try. When we wanted to get the check it took her litterally 20 min from the time I asked till when she brought it. This service problem was most likely caused by poor resource management, they did not plan for such a busy weekend and did not have enough food or staff on hand. However thereis no excuse when you are 1 of only 2 restaurants overlooking the fountain hills lake & fountain and it's a beautiful 74° outside w/o a cloud in the ski you know people come from all over to relax at the lake. FYI Google isn't just for mapping it also can show you the weather 10 days to 1 Mo. out for planning so this does not happen. Poor planning by the management Since this is the 1st time this has happened there of course my wife and I will go back but we just hope this does not happen again."
