I read the most recent reviews and thought Justin was the manager of a place I wanted to go. We were greeted and led to a table upon arrival. Got our drinks and bread very quickly. Ordered , had time to drink a great glass of Oregon Pinot before our meals were delivered. He has spaghetti and meatballs and it was very flavorful. The meatballs were cooked perfectly. I had the salmon piccata and the sauce was great. I'm taking one star away for cold bread and my salmon was a little over cooked. While I am a great fan of undercooked salmon my spouse agreed it was over cooked. If we come back to Phoenix will definitely be back! read more

I haven't been here in a while. But, it doesn't matter because it's still just as great as before. This is, HANDS DOWN, THE BEST Italian food you will evah get in Arizona. This is handmade, fresh, delicious food. The staff is always friendly, the food is always perfectly prepared, and seasoned. I can't say enough about this place... You need to get here. And if you can't, then get it delivered! :) I ordered the calzone with ricotta, mozzarella, and sausage. The chicken tortellini, and capellini primavera in pink sauce. Which, by the way, their pink sauce is out of this world delicious. They never skimp on ingredients, and they never disappoint. Check this place out! You're welcome. read more

We wanted to order a 16 inch pizza, and they told us you can only order 10 inch pizzas for dine in. Dumbest thing I have ever heard. Pizza was ok. $10 Cesar was tiny. We won't go back. read more

Well the people are lovely, but the food is pretty average and most definitely disappointing and absolutely overpriced. Someone has missed the mark here . I live 5 minutes away and it's not my first time here and I have given it several chances, but . I spent $200 on a less than average experience. It's just off, I worked in restaurants for 5 years , I would like it to work but it just doesn't. I genuinely think it could be fixed because the people were great , but ..... It's just not and I will not return sorry read more

Fantastic. I didn't even get a photo of my Alfredo because I just wanted to eat it! Everything was so fresh and the service was really good. Although there were small children there I think this place would be great for a date night. I believe they have wine bottle specials. We didn't quite make the happy hour but I'll be checking that out next. read more

Date night!!! Who doesn't love GREAT Italian food!?! Unfortunately, this place is not that at all. I ordered the "special" the only beef on the menu, a "Prime" New York Strip with linguini and mushrooms. Something I make at home quite often, deliciously no less. Steak isn't necessarily hard to cook, but I understand everyone likes it a certain way. Chewy "Prime" New York Strip and a lack of juiciness is a symptom of letting the steak sit under a heat lamp, gross. Which is exactly what my $58 "Prime" New York Strip tasted like, which compounds and reflects on the service levels. I wanted to love this place because of its proximity to my house and where I regularly go out to eat. Unfortunately, given the prices of competition, this place needs to re-adjust their hefty price ego. This place is far below average food for serious amounts of money. Go elsewhere. read more

My fiancée turned me on to Brody's several years ago, as she's been a long time regular going back to Nick's. It's always been a wonderful restaurant with lovely clientele and it continues to be our favorite stop - now branded as Brody's. It's still the same high quality food, drinks, and service. Last night she hosted her daughter's graduation dinner on the patio and we could not have been more pleased. Orlando and his team worked magic to make the evening special for everyone. I can't imagine them being more attentive or accommodating. It was the perfect setting: upscale, but comfortable. The food was amazing (as usual) and the service was spectacular (as usual). If I could add another star just for Orlando I would! read more

The food is so good you will definitely take home any leftovers! The drinks are on point and the service is absolutely beyond amazing!!! You will not find a better Italian restaurant in town. I know my husband and I haven't and won't eat anywhere else. The atmosphere is friendly and comfortable. A homey feeling we love. We will definitely become regulars! Strongly recommend trying Brody's! Thanks Jason for making us feel special and a part of your family! read more

Good, service, atmosphere. Calzone and pink sauce is amazing and they have some new desserts that are delicious too. read more

Hospitality, service, and unbelievable food. Love this place! Everything is top notch and Jason makes you feel like a VIP every time.

Chicken chow mein was cold and the egg rolls were soggy! I recommend ordering the Italian

Really great food! We would go back! Nice ambiance, wonderful menu, lots of choices whether it be pasta, chicken, beef or fish and excellent service. Not a giant restaurant but great control what comes out of their kitchen. I mentioned not a large restaurant because the noice level wasn't over the top. They also have a very nice patio outside. we enjoyed everying we ordered including the bread!!! read more

Excellent food and service!!! Loved the chicken Marsala and my husband had the chicken florentine which was also very good. Big portions. Highly recommend. read more

This place is my favorite. They have amazing chicken parm and lasagna. I brought my family and they love it. The owner is such a nice guy and all the service is exelent 10 out of 10 I recommend you try them. read more

We had a wonderful time at Brody's, food was delicious especially the chicken parm. Service was super friendly. Can't wait to go back.

good News, bad news! Our food was good, our waiter attentive but the overall cost was ridiculous! We were charged $20 for a sangria which was far from exceptional and then a mandatory 20% gratuity for a party of 6. We have been customers of Nick's (the former owner) for years but will not be back to Brody's. Our bill for the 6 of us with no dessert, only 4 drinks and one salad was over $350!! This is no longer your neighborhood Italian restaurant. Sorry to say... read more

The food was simply delicious. Great wine selection a personalized service. We left talking about who we could bring next time...that good! read more

We wanted to impress friends with a special dinner, so we made our go-to decision. We brought home food from Brody's! We chose the Italian chopped salad, sauteed vegetables, chicken piccata, and lasagna. They send home plenty of yummy bread. Jon always heads down early to have a nice glass of wine at the bar while he's waiting. Our meal was amazing as always! Thanks, Jason and everyone, for making such great food! read more

Great service, drinks are excellent. Pasta made fresh, delicious! Start is soft bread with olive oil, melts in your mouth. Music is great and sitting alone watched my favorite all star game. You will be happy if you eat here!! Definitely a YES!!!! Enjoy. read more

Hubby and I went on a late Sunday afternoon. The service was excellent. They cater to every need. The food was tasty.

I love their bread & calzone! It's amazing! You literally get stuffed just by eating those two items! I also ordered the chicken parmigiana, it was okay. My brother got the chicken gardino, not my favorite, but he liked it. My sister got the pizza it was okay, not the best. You can also order from UberEats to be delivered. read more

Great Italian restaurant!! The calamari was delicious along with all our entrees! Comfortable patio to dine in especially this time of year! Loved the Chicken Marsala, Eggplant Parm and the Halibut with lemon and capers! Will be back at least once a week!! A definite new favorite restaurant! read more

Excellent food. Had the chicken and eggplant parmigiana. Great sauce. Great portion. Not a long wait for food. Friendly staff. I always recommend to others. If you are dining in they have a nice bar with TVs. Good people to chat with or get a table and have a more private conversation. Seating inside or on outdoor patio. Good wine selections as well. read more

excellent food, lots of fun people there Jason is a great bartender Owner. We always have good food and a good time

We have not been back since it was Nicks pre C19. Nicks felt very NYC Italian not very AZ. However, we decided to give Jason Brody's newly renovated a Valentine's try. It was exactly what we wanted. We tried Veal Piccata, Chicken Parm, Caesar's and chocolate cake. It was all excellent. The service was well attended and Jason the owner did a quick check in. One small suggestion would be to nuke the bread 20 seconds pre serving. We received it cold like out of a refrigerator. Small detail but it would increase the comfort since its first out and into the mouth. Great wine and bar selections. We will be back. read more

Haven't been to Nick's in years, personal reasons. Always a great place and experience- good food, fair prices, great service etc . For many years our "go to" place! Went back to an eye opener when we learned Nick sold this location. Menu shock! Prices way out of line compared to other similar Italian restaurants. $11 for garlic bread appetizer? $12 for garden salad. Very few dishes under $20. Food is good, portions fair but prices much higher for same quality & quantity as competition. Mr Brody, please review your prices - since your portions are generous perhaps you can scale back a bit on quantity and prices, without giving up quality. read more

This is an excellent casual Italian restaurant. Their weekly specials are delicious. The chicken dishes with marsala sauce taste homemade. Their chicken alfredo is my son's favorite. My favorite dish is angel hair pasta with marinara sauce. They make the best pizza with a lot of varieties. The staff has been here for years and it is so nice to do business with a family owned business. Looking forward to returning many more times in the future. read more

Very nice but little over priced... parking was a real nightmare. Specials are awesome but again very pricey. read more

Excellent and authentic Italian fare! Their Cioppino with white wine and garlic is outstanding and so are their other pasta dishes. Very pleasant ambiance and excellent service complete with a good wine selection. A must! read more

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the other poor reviews. Since Nick's became Brody's, the quality of food has been poor at best. Initially, one time, after changing to Brody's, we had a great experience, but since then we have been disappointed with food and service. Both of the chicken dishes in our party were like rubber; we could barely cut through and chew it. The steak was overpriced and terrible and the salad was soaked in vinegar. The fish was subpar and expensive. In fact, not one person in our party finished their plates. Our server was at least very friendly so we were incredibly polite with our server, but the manager was shockingly rude and unwilling to provide any good customer service. We dine at both upscale and inexpensive restaurants and rarely find ourselves unhappy with food and shocked by poor customer service. Also, the ambiance doesn't reflect the high prices on the menu. read more

We ordered takeout and the food was very underwhelming for the price. $27 for the penne alla campagna due to a gluten free surcharge. We also had the Italian chopped salad for $16. Neither one was memorable. The portion size of the salad was embarrassing. Maybe a side salad at best but not for $16. See pictures below. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

We used to always go to Nick's on Tatum and Shea and we went last night as it's been rebranded to BRODY'S ITALIAN and it hasn't missed a beat! Place was packed, food was amazing, and they have huge bar and a great wine list! Jason the bartender brought the restaurant from Nick a few years ago and has recently rebranded it! What a great staff they have over there. Our new go to Italian restaurant! Very impressive :) read more

Promptly seated at 5:30, outstanding service, food was wonderful. Great service, great food, what else do you need in a restaurant!!

A wonderful place to go for really good Italian Food with Family and Friends. We ordered the Garden Salad and Baked Ziti with Sausage and they split both plates for us without asking which was a nice gesture from our very perceptive and friendly Server. Our Friends ordered the Angel Hair Pasta with House Marinara and Chicken Piccata and Pasta. We each shared a bite of our meals and they were all delicious. The restaurant is located in a strip mall but once you enter it boasts a quiet and slightly upscale atmosphere to enjoy a meal. We are really happy we stopped by Nick's for an evening out and so will you. read more

Always delicious!! Great atmosphere and staff. Love the new remodel. Kudos to Jason and his team.

this is my birthday restaurant because they have gnocchi in a gorgonzola sauce. unfortunately, my most recent trip was not as good as in the past. the gnocchi was dough-y and not those little pockets of soft potato perfection that i've had there before. when i only indulge in gnocchi once per year, it ought to be one of the best i've ever eaten. this year, it was difficult to stab my fork in the little guys. the sauce though - it just can't be beat. the fried mozzarella for an appetizer was good, and the tiramisu for dessert was perfection. service was good for an early sunday dinner (or, as my husband would say, old people dinner time). i'll be back, but if they do that again with my gnocchi, i'll just order dessert and forego the meal. read more

Best neighborhood upscale Italian Restaurant in Paradise Valley! Jason who had worked here for about 20 years bought this cozy comfortable place, where every knows your name.. (shout out to Norm), brought back high quality beef and seafood with delicious homemade pasta and risotto at an affordable price. My husband Tom and I frequent this great homelike Italian restaurant dine in or take out. Tonight I had the Halibut with a yummy butter lemon caper sauce and angel hair pasta and my husband had the chicken marsala which is always a crowd pleaser.They give extra sauce so you can have your leftovers with the delectable sauce the next day. All of the servers have been there forever and really care about watching over you. Go visit our neighborhood Cheers and have a homemade Italian dinner with all of the delicious flavors that even your Nana would love! See you at the bar-- get to know your neighbors and Bon Appetit!! read more

Tried the pizza which I've never had here before. Excellent New York style pizza with excellent toppings and crispy crust. Priced well.
