   Disappointing. We had a reservation for 6. Upon arrival, we were informed by the host there was no reservation. The restaurant was crowded. Even after showing the reservation on the Open Table app, the host insisted we had no reservation. Another employee showed the host there was a reservation. About 10 minutes later we were seated next to the patio door on a chilly night. We felt we had to be bundled up to have the meal indoors. The server and food were great. We have been fans of the Phoenix location (now closed) to the point of giving gift cards to friends of my business as thank you gifts for referrals. It’s too bad that the failure if the host made the evening disappointing.

   Disappointed after returning here, been a couple of years. One fellow waiting on the entire restaurant and pretty brash to boot. Threw menus and drink folio on the table. All bread plates were greasy or outright dirty and sent back. Busboy tried his best but lacked confidence. Food was good, not great. Service wasn’t either but maybe the rest of the help didn’t show up today? So that’s my three stars and that’s generous. Won’t be back anytime soon if at all, there are just too many better alternative in Scottsdale .

   We had reservations; but weren't seated for 30 minutes. The bar service that was promised while we waited never happened. The restaurant was busy at the end oof their happy hour! Once seated we had a good waiter and prompt food and drink. Pizza and apps were good; entrées were ok but not impressive. Prices were modest so I consider it a be-back to see what it's like a second time.

   WE LOVE PUBBLICO!!!! Wes is the absolute best! And of course Jose and everyone behind the bar and in the kitchen. Love the new menu, the “usuals” and a great wine selection!! Our food and wine were absolute perfection last night! Danny… As always, we love to support you and the crew! Cheers to another fantastic night with family at Pubblico! See you next time!

   We haven't been to Pubblico since the 7th Street location was closed. The menu has changed slightly, but not terribly. The one entree that I started coming to Pubblico for is not on it, Short rib ravioli, but it was replaced this time by the Short rib lasagna. Otherwise, the quality is still terrific, but the portions smaller. This might not be a bad thing though. The service was very good. We will continue to enjoy a meal at Pubblico occasionally.

   Entire experience ruined by noise level exceeding louder than on our numerous previous visits. Loud “background music”—thumping base line, seems intentional to attract more Scottsdale’s entitled, but will cause us to think twice before returning. Unfortunate, since food, drink and service remains positive.
