HOW IT STARTED
Four brothers and 30 years ago- a small Italian restaurant was born in Tempe, serving beef subs, Grandpa Cesare's sausage recipe, Grandma Cleone's spaghetti sauce, cheesecake, and our original deep dish pizza.

Our little Nello's grew into an award winning "Best of Phoenix" restaurant year after year, after year... after year. Family recipes, family genius and family drama all keep Nello's going 30 years later to new generations of pasta and pizza connoisseurs.

A FEW THINGS THAT MAKE NELLO’S AHWATUKEE UNIQUE:
We are the only Nello’s location to use a wood fire oven, which was imported from Italy.
Our pasta is made in-house daily.
We stretch our own mozzarella.
Some of our meats are smoked and cured in-house.
All desserts are made from scratch in-house.
We support local Arizona farms by purchasing their seasonal produce whenever possible.

    We went to a gingerbread building contest and I didn't realize it was kids included. I wouldn't go again to a kids event. It just wasn't what I expected.

    It has become one of my top three restaurants. Food is excellent. Pizza one of the best! Chicken wings (Gold) the best! Italian dishes are very good and service is extraordinaire (forgot the name of last waitress that spent two months in Spain) - she is great but all are superb. Management is doing something right!

    Just back from a month in Italy, the lasagna was comparatively okay with a bit much ricotta cheese and a bit sweet tomato sauce.
