Aiello's East Coast Italian - Phoenix

We ended up ordering a variety of dishes, and they were all delicious and quite filling. The table bread served with butter was a highlight, and we found the oil with pepper to be very spicy, so caution is advised! One of our diners loves spicy food and really enjoyed it, while we simply requested extra butter. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with great service and fabulous food, making it a place we would definitely return to. The only oddity was the pizza situation, considering that one of our group had previously dined here and had pizza served on the restaurant side. We ordered Chicken Parmesan (two), Lasagna, and Spaghetti with Meatballs, and every dish was fantastic. I'm not usually a fan of meatballs, but after trying a bite, I might have to reconsider my stance—they were really good—though I’m still torn between them and the Chicken Parmesan. Enjoy!

10/10. After living in the valley for 20 years, we finally found Italian food that is genuinely excellent. We tried the Tortellini and Carbonara, both cooked and seasoned to perfection. The calamari and artichoke appetizers were outstanding as well. The tiramisu was absolutely incredible. The entire atmosphere, service, and food were exactly what we had been searching for. This is how Italian cuisine should be on the East Coast. We will definitely be returning for years to come.

My dining experiences here have been nothing short of exceptional. The food is truly remarkable, enticing you from the appetizers all the way through to dessert. This is the best of authentic Italian cuisine. The interior is small and cozy, while the outdoor area is quite beautiful. The size and decor inside really create that homemade Italian vibe. While I wouldn’t recommend it for larger groups of five or more, it’s perfect for smaller gatherings. It’s an ideal spot for a date night, an anniversary, or any intimate and special occasion. The pasta options are always a great choice, but I am particularly fond of their market fish dishes. The green beans and potato croquettes are out of this world. And the prices are reasonable—aside from the market fish, which can vary, most dishes are under $25. I highly recommend this place if you have the chance.

We had dinner with two friends and the service is excellent. Everyone is very attentive. Eating appetizers and main courses were very good. I would have got five stars if my food was hot. It was lukewarm. We will come back

Absolutely an incredible spot. First of all the food was super authentic and fresh. It shows that the best quality ingredients are chosen. The red sauce was perfect, just like I remember from my grandma and NYC. I was impressed by the bartender’s knowledge and recommendation of wine. I tried two different glasses and each were delicious, not sitting in the bottle for days. We were so full that we didn’t try dessert even though the options sounded amazing, but we did get a few slices to go from Isa’s. By far, the best NYC pizza we have had in Arizona. The staff was attentive and friendly and knew their menu. Can’t wait to go back with more family and friends.
