Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Fountain Hills / Rio Verde

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!

A classic ! Always amazing food , service, and ambiance. Enjoyed a cozy Thanksgiving tonight and it was a great time.

Thanksgiving dinner. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously. First of all, it's a beautiful space; comfortable tables, tasteful color scheme and excellent lighting. Larger room than we envisioned. We opted for the Pasta Fagioli as our appetizer; "sidebar"....we had dinner several weeks ago at Volare in downtown Chicago and thought the Pasta Fagioli was the best we had ever had. It was remarkable at The Italiano and is the new standard bearer. For dinner we had the NY Strip Steak Parmigiano and the Fleet and Sausage Cacciatore. Both outstanding and cooked perfectly. Surprisingly, they don't offer a simple pasta as a side dish (which my wife likes) but the chef accommodated. Also delicious. If we have a small complaint it would be with the attentiveness of the server. Nice man and very helpful, when requested. Otherwise, we waited too long to have our table cleared and leftovers boxed. Small issue but there is little room for error at these price points. Great wine list. We enjoyed the 2023 Balade Pinot Noir ($85). Before tip, all in, $240. We look forward to dining at the Italiano again. I should mention the beautiful lounge area and piano player. Perfect.

Salmon Caesar Salad is the best, always a great experience when dinning at Olive & Ivy. Service (Charlie/female) is such a treat, very attentive. Thanks again!

Really great experience at this restaurant. The server (can’t remember his name) from NY was outstanding and made the experience memorable. Loved the Baja tacos and the pumpkin bread pudding.
