    Perfect little poolside bar/restaurant. Great happy hour menu. Staff is friendly and nice food selection for lunch.

    Excellent eatery at the Scottsdale Mirage Villas resort we were staying at. As you can guess by the name, it is situated, poolside. Rico was the front of house person and he was friendly, provided excellent suggestions on their food and later on local restaurants to try out. The Chicken Caesar Wrap was fantastic! Great flavor. Thank you Rico!

    Great poolside spot! Offers daily specials for a couple hours but normal prices are reasonable in the setting of a poolside exclusive eatery

    I've been here multiple times. It's my go-to happy hour spot when friends come to town to have an…read moreelegant night but also not break the bank (at least for happy hour) Stunning interior and friendly service. I haven't had a drink I haven't liked, you can't go wrong with any of them. The 50 first dates has become my favorite, however. For food, the milk bread is a delicious starter. The chicken tenders are also amazing. Can't wait to go back!

    Was excited to try this place out as it seemed super cool on social media. We were a party of 3 and…read morearrived right on time for our Sunday night reservation. We made our way down the stairs and the hostess was there ready to check us in. We didn't wait at all and got seated right away. Once seated it took a while for the server to come take our order. There was live music going on which kept us entertained for the time being. After about 15 minutes, she finally came over to greet us and take our drink orders. We ordered: 1 WILD STRAWBABY - Ocho Blanco Tequila, Bergamot, Strawberry, Pineapple, Lemon, Almond Milk $22 1 50 FIRST DATES - Bumbu Rum, Cascara, Brown Sugar Date Syrup, Coconut Milk, Cinnamon Sprinkle $22 1 BLUEBERRY MULE - Blueberry, Lime, Ginger Beer $13 The drinks didn't take too long and another bartender dropped them off. Water was never offered to us and was only given to us after we asked. All the other tables were given water once they were seated. Our drinks were good but we chose to just have one each and we left. The live music was great. The musician was playing the piano and kept it fun and upbeat. The inside is pretty cool and unique but service could've definitely been better though. *There's a $10 cover fee per person when there is live music*

    I'm a regular at North and never felt the need to review but tonight was great. I feel like they…read morechanged their pizza dough recipe and it has way more flavor now - very impressed!! We also couldn't decide what to have and ended up doing the spicy meatball pizza, a Caesar salad, and the bolognese. They split the salad and the pasta 3 ways which was so convenient! It's a loud restaurant so request Bar North if you can! Otherwise we love this place

    We've always enjoyed North Italia, so we decided to go back to the Kierland location.While the food…read morewas mostly just as good, the overall atmosphere didn't quite match the Gilbert restaurant. The biggest difference was the ambiance. The music was so loud that it made conversation at our table difficult, and the tables were placed very close together, making the dining room feel a bit cramped. It lacked the relaxed, inviting vibe we've come to expect from the Gilbert location. We started with the Cacio e Pepe Arancini, and it was every bit as delicious as we remembered. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and full of flavor, it's still one of our favorite appetizers. We also shared the Little Gem Caesar Salad, which had just the right amount of dressing and was fresh, crisp, and satisfying. For my entrée, I ordered the Shrimp Scampi, which was delicious with perfectly cooked shrimp and great flavor. Around the table we also tried the Agnolotti Pomodori, which was very enjoyable, and the Spicy Rigatoni, another solid choice with just the right amount of heat. Dessert was the only real disappointment. We finished with the Banana Caramel Butter Cake, but unfortunately it was quite dry and didn't live up to the rest of the meal. Although this location didn't have the same atmosphere as Gilbert, the kitchen still delivered several excellent dishes. I'd happily return for the arancini and pasta, but I hope they turn the music down a bit and give diners a little more breathing room between tables so the overall experience is as enjoyable as the food.

    I have so many things to say... One, as an aviation fan I…read morehave wanted to go here since I moved to AZ. It did not disappoint - this is actually a second-story restaurant so you can see the runway and planes! I'll note it is at the far end of the runway, so it would be MOST ideal to sit outside at the end of the patio for plane watching. Two, the service was impeccable on a Saturday for brunch. Is everyone who works here in a good mood? The energy is bright, light and airy, the service is attentive but low pressure. Three, they LOVE PETS. I'm not a pet owner but while I was there two people brought their pets along and one was a golden retriever puppy. This wouldn't matter but puppies can obviously cause a nuisance indoors - this staff did not mind. They were not in a slow service part of the day but they treated the pets like patrons and it actually created a really relaxed, collaborative atmosphere. I will note this though because if you're not an animal lover/ are afraid of dogs, their acceptance is a little more than the typical "pets outside" policy. Four, the food. It was beyond exceptional, and it's funny because the typical airport diner isn't elevated. But this is Scottsdale, and we had really delicious, beautiful food - actually fine dining presentation but in these cute mismatched kitschy dishes which brought it back down home. Lastly for anyone who loves birding, you wouldn't think an airport is a great spot but there is actually wildly diverse population of birds in the Volanti entrance. Trust me. I would not only love to go back but I think bringing a visitor here would be the best time.

    I surprised my dad here with a weekday happy hour Father's Day dinner. He's a huge fan of airplanes…read moreso I knew this would be such a fun and unique dine for him. We booked a reservation ahead of time so we're able to snag a patio seat which was the best for plane watching. They have some misters but it still was quite hot on a June day, I'm sure fall or winter would be perfect. They have some great happy hour prices and the portions were very generous. Here's my ratings for each menu item we tried: Tenderloin sliders 5/5 Meatballs 4/5 Take off trio 2/5 Tiny tuna 3/5 Tacos 3/5 Our server was just okay this visit, we would've liked to order more but once our food came he didn't check on us again until we had asked for our bill. Overall we still enjoyed our meal & I would come back again.

Love the vibes and aesthetics. We started with the arancini so good also with a mixed salad and a ceaser. You can definitely share the salads. Also we got the whipped feta, so good! For meals we got the filet mignon, Alfredo, chicken piccata, bolognese, chicken parmigiana and branzino. Every dish was delicious. Also they give you a complementary cake for your birthday.

They have a neon sign and a beautiful feather chandelier near the front, both perfect spots for pictures! We came here on a Sunday evening right before Happy Hour ended, literally about 10 minutes before cutoff. Everyone here was super nice, especially Kayla, our server. Since we made it just in time, we decided to go all in and order almost everything from the Happy Hour menu, and 4 glasses of wine. To our surprise, the dishes were not small Happy Hour portions at all. The servings were actually really generous, and everything we tried was delicious. We ordered the Bolognese Fries, EVO Meatballs, Arancini, Whipped Feta, Old Town Burger, Margherita Pizza, and Pomodoro. We enjoyed everything, but the Arancini was definitely our favorite. It turned into such a fun night catching up over good food, wine, and the perfect evening vibe. Also, besides Kayla taking great care of us all night, the lady at the front was amazing too. She helped us take pictures, and she was definitely a pro. Sorry, I forgot to ask for her name, but thank you for making our night even better!
