Restaurants near East Aster Villa

We are native New Yorkers, blood, born, bred and breath! We've been in AZ since 2016 and never before our dinner at The Italiano have we found a place that feels like home! Other places have good food, service or ambiance, but never all three. When you walk into The Italiano, you feel like you're in any of the boroughs or LI, with the warm lighting and amazing smells, not to mention the beautiful decor of the blue and white that permeates all aspects of the restaurant. Once seated, our waiter Nate, was so warm and personable. You could tell he loves his job and his endorsement of the entire menu was not for any other reason than because he truly believes the food is phenomenal and as an east coast boy himself, he knows good food AND never to BS fellow east coasters. Needless to say, everything we ordered was more delicious than the previous dish! No one in AZ can do veal, except Chef Joey! No one can do Spumoni, except L&B and Chef Joey! No one can do home, except NY and The Italiano! Don't miss the chance to enjoy THE BEST dining and culinary experience in AZ. THE FOOD IS BY FAR THE BEST ITALIAN FOOD OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK. Ask for Nate - he's awesome. And Eddie, the manager, is a doll! One of the best nights we've had here in AZ!

The white truffle bread starter/small plate was outstanding. A salad, shared among four of us, was a perfect small starter. All main dishes were delicious, with my chicken parmesan being especially tasty and tender. We were celebrating a birthday and were treated to a complimentary dessert. Currently, they offer a seasonal pumpkin butter cake, which, while good, did not surpass their traditional butter cake in my opinion. However, the affogato was fantastic, and the house-made raspberry limoncello was a delightful way to end our meal. Throughout, our service was great, marked by attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable staff.

This was our first time ever at a Dominick’s steakhouse. My wife & I were here celebrating our first anniversary as a married couple & we do not regret choosing this place. Our server, Mike was phenomenal & attentive. After I informed him of my gluten intolerance, he showed me all the Gluten free options & was very informative with what the dishes are cooked & prepared with. He made sure our first experience here exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t be any more thankful for his service as he went above and beyond for my wife & I. My wife & I thank everyone at Dominick’s Steakhouse especially Mike for making our first anniversary one to remember. We will be coming here again!

Service was great. Food excellent. Prices reasonable.

The food was delicious. Our service was also great. We had Regan and she was awesome! It was a little loud on the patio, but it was also very busy. My only complaint would be that they charge $10 more for a bottle of wine in the restaurant than in the tasting room, even a bottle I was getting as a gift, to go. Other than that, we enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner and we will definitely return when we're in the Phoenix area.
