Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Arcadia

Coming from restaurants in Staten Island and Brooklyn, I know good Italian food. Virtually since they opened in Scottsdale about 22 years ago, soon after I had moved here, La Torretta has been my go-to Italian restaurant. The food is excellent (on a par with the former, famed New Corners in Bklyn, albeit with a more limited menu), and the interaction with owner Darius, and with Tom, adds to the enjoyable dinner. Friend and relatives I have introduced to La Torretta love it as much as I do. If you love good Italian food and have not been to La Torretta definitely give it a shot.

We love Parma! The baked focaccia is incredible and all of the dishes we’ve had have been amazing.

Enjoyed our Christmas Eve dinner. Though they were busy service was timely and well paced. Our out of town family thoroughly enjoyed everything. Ordered several apps - delicious turnip cakes, steamed dumplings and curry cakes. Great cocktails also! Respectable martinis. Crispy chicken & green beans, Pad Ke Mao, and spicy beef short ribs entrees. Generous portions, that we even took some home. Definitely will be back!

Pitch offers an upscale yet casual atmosphere with great food and an extensive drink menu. You can order individual meals or share apps - lots to choose from - calamari was outstanding! Service was fast.

Our first time at The Greene House and everyone in our party was pleased. The food was delicious and the service was very good. We all felt the portion sizes were very adequate. All in all, a very nice restaurant with a welcoming and friendly staff.
