Reviews for The Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar in Phoenix, AZ

Probably the best dinner I've ever had. Went for restaurant week and wow. They really put out all the stops.

First time customers and wasn’t aware this restaurant was recently renovated under new ownership. Adorable place.. Friendly... atmosphere and staff was excellent. All food including pasta and dessert are homemade and delicious. Highly recommend if youtruly enjoy fresh Italian food. Read more

New ownership, new menu, new remodel. Definitely hit it out of the park. The food is amazing with fantastic service that will... leave you ready to come back. I highly recommend trying this place out. Read more

We had dinner with two friends and the service is outstanding. Everyone is very attentive. Food appetizer and main courses were... very good. I would have given five stars if my food would have been hot. It was lukewarm. We will be back Read more

I’m sorry to say it was not a good experience. Reviews look pretty good, so it seems it must be an off night ???? Service was... dry, food was different. Bread was the best part. Really delicious and fresh. Rigatoni seemed ok, but the sauce was liquidy.Fettuccine Alfredo not good at all, even the chicken wasn’t good. However our server was kind enough to try and make it right,so that’s a plus. Very dark inside in the evening-guess it’s good if you’re looking for a romantic dinner. I doubt I’llbe back. But you might have a better experience, so don’t be shy, give it a try and post your review! Read more

It wasn't real busy when we walked in around 6pm. Though it did get busier. We were going to order pizza as an appetizer, but... was informed by our server you can only get pizza on the pizza side. That you can get everything on the other side, that theydon't serve pizza in the formal restaurant side. We were planning on getting the pizza as an appetizer and entrees for dinner.So we opted not to move and forgo getting any pizza. So we ordered & the food was delicious & very filling. We liked the crustarea of the table bread with butter. The oil with peppers is very spicy, so take care. One of our diners loves spicy so theyenjoyed it, otherwise we asked for some butter. Definitely a place to eat again, Great Service, Fabulous Food. Just the pizzathing was weird as one of our diners had been here before and was served pizza on the restaurant side. We had Chicken Parmesan x2, Lasagne & the Spaghetti with Meatballs. Ever dish was fantastic. I'm not a big Meatball person, but I tried a bite and I'dhave to really think about the meatballs or the chicken parmesan. Enjoy Read more

10/10. We’ve lived in the valley 20 years and we have FINALLY found Italian food that is actually good. We had the tortellini... and carbonara which were cooked perfectly and seasoned great. The calamari and artichoke apps were next level. Tiramisu wastremendous as well. The whole ambiance, service and food were exactly what we were looking for. This is what east coast Italianfood should be. We’ll be back for years to come. Read more

All my dining experiences here have been nothing less than superb. The food is remarkable from appetizer to entree to dessert.... It's authentic Italian at its best. It's small and cozy on the inside but also has a nice outdoor area. The size and decor ofthe inside really lends to that homemade Italian feel. I wouldn't reccommend bringing large parties of 5+ but for somethingsmaller its perfect. It would be great for a date night, an anniversary or other more intimate/special occasions. The pasta isalways a great menu option but I'm very fond of their market fish dishes. The Green Beans and potato croquettes are out of thisworld delicious. Also, the food is inexpensive. Other than the market fish which varies in price, all the dishes are typicallyunder $25. Definetely recommend if you have the time. Read more
