The food was amazing. We have never had a bad dish. The homemade squid ink pasta and clams was fabulous!

About the restaurant

Casa Mia is the authentic Italian Cuisine experience. Our family moved to the U.S. in 1993 from Sorrento, Italy (a province of Naples).
We came straight to Scottsdale so none of our palates were altered from the flavors they were familiar with. Casa Mia means "my home", and just like at home our food is made to meet our standards of taste. All of our ingredients are of the finest quality, from home made pastas, organic produce, and now organic grass fed beef.
Our wine list features only Italian wines, and is always a work in progress as we are always searching for new surprising flavors!

Check out our pizzeria CM2 located next door to our Casa Mia location.

Went for dinner last weekend. Great food--they make their own pasta. Our group enjoyed the short rib rage with malfaldi pasta, the fish special, gnocchi, and chicken milanese. The wine, beer, and cocktail selection was excellent. Service was excellent, cozy atmosphere --you can hear those at your table!!!

This little restaurant was a pleasant surprise! The menu had some classic Italian dishes and some with a unique southwestern flair. The service was excellent, friendly, and attentive.

We had a 6:45 reservation but weren’t seated until almost an hour later. Obviously over booked. Service and food were great as usual but it made for a very late dinner. One’s appetite disappears!

Great Neopolitan style pizza with a thin chewy crust and crispy bottom, topped with a large variety of premium toppings and sauce bases. You can get any pizza with different toppings on each half, as long as the sauce base is the same, which is a great way to share a pizza, or try two types if it's hard to choose only one.

About the restaurant

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.

About the restaurant

Chef Luigi Garibaldi is ready to provide you with a wonderful culinary experience in downtown Kingman AZ. We have beautifully transformed a historic dining area formally known as the Brunswick Hotel. This dining room has been renovated to include as many of the historic original pieces possible, from the original 1909 build of this historic landmark. Chef Luigi's passion for food and perfection shows in every dish he creates. He provides you with the very best ingredients cooked to perfection.

Chef Luigi’s style of cuisine is Italian, although he has multiple areas in which his culinary magic shines. The main menu for lunch and dinner includes many Italian favorites, such as Chicken Parmesan, Risotto, Spaghetti and Meatballs, and Lobster Ravioli. Chef Luigi also includes perfectly cooked steaks and other delicious favorites such as the Beef Wellington, a favorite of all who experience it.
