Ciao Grazie

Currently 3:35 pm on Valentine’s Day. Walked in for a couple of appetizers and just to enjoy the weather and sit outside. We walked in and we were helped by an older man who pretty much told us to get out. Absolutely nobody sitting inside. Dead. Only a couple parties of 2/3 sitting outside. Really bad energy. Shook his head in frustration and honestly looked like he was about to cry because he had “150 reservations”. I’m not sure if he thought we were going to spend hours at the table. we really just wanted an appetizer or two as we have dinner reservations at 6:45 elsewhere. Keep in mind, not a single soul in the restaurant yet. Only a couple tables outside. I’m sure we could have sat and ate for the 45 minutes we planned on spending here, before the entire restaurant was filled with “

Probably my favorite Italian restaurant in Scottsdale. Incredible appetizers and entrees. Service is top notch. Atmosphere is classy and super clean. I have been several times and plan to continue frequenting Ciao Grazie.

Bella was amazing. She helped guide us through the whole menu and we had such a great experience here. We will be back here again for sure!

What Italian restaurant doesn’t provide bread at the onset of the meal to dip in oil and cheese? This one! Also shocked that when I asked our server to top off my cup of coffee (which had gone cold) I was told I’d be charged for another cup. This is not a gripe about the server, she was great. But really disappointed by the nickel and dime approach taken by this restaurant. They even passed on their 3% surcharge by using Visa for payment to us. Our bill for just two of us with one glass of wine was $90 without tip. I’m a local living in the neighborhood and will not be returning.

Such a special place! Quiet lovely ambiance. Great food. Don't come if you are looking for loud, see and be seen atmosphere. Ciao Grazie is the best.
