    Crappy crappy food that's way too expensive for what it is. Fazoli's and Olive Garden are better

    Literally the worst spaghetti I have ever eaten, and expensive too. I recommend trying their competitors, better prices and better food.

    My coworkers and I swung by Spinato's for a team lunch. We've ordered pizzas from here many times,…read morebut only for carry out. We had not sat down to eat at the restaurant. The pizzas were always good, so we figured why not go eat there and try some other items. There were 12 of us, so we made sure to make a reservation ahead of time. Upon arriving, we had no issues. A couple of tables were ready and waiting for us. First impressions: The restaurant is big. There's a ton of space and seating. The vibes are nice. This location also has a big parking lot, so parking was not an issue at all. Once we were all seated, our waitress offered us drinks and gave us time to look through the menu. I must say, there's some pretty affordable happy hour items on there. However, I was really hungry and opted for a regular menu Toasted Da Vinci sandwich with a side of chips. No drink. The sandwich was delicious. I really liked it. The bread was toasted to perfection and it was quite flavorful. The chips were also excellent. They were perfectly crisp and seasoned. Probably some of the best I've had. The meal was a good portion and very filling (and I'm a big guy!). Overall, I had a good experience. I'd come here again for that sandwich.

    Update: The pizza is still delicious and hot. You just can't…read morebeat the sauce. We love the chicken keto crust option. No pizza guilt! The meatballs are tender and the vodka sauce is tasty. The bartending really has taken a step backwards though. Instead of only one cheap Rye, now they have none. How do you make a Manhattan? Sazerac? I ordered an Old Fashioned and it came shaken with macerated luxardo and then strained. The pic below is a correctly made Manhattan from a couple years ago. The bartender gave us some great service and knows her stuff but the bar program doesn't get the attention it deserves. My wife says that it's a family pizzaria not a gastropub and to chill out. She is usually right.

    Amazing hidden gem! Penne vodka was perfect - no complaints. Serving size was good, not too spicy,…read morebut not too bland. Would order again. Sangria - I loved it. My friends thought it could have been more "refreshing" (seems more wine heavy but was still delicious to me!) Bread and garlic butter - A must order. So tasty. Ambiance is a little more upscale, but nothing too crazy. I would say perfect for a date night, nice family dinner etc.. Service was great, everyone very friendly.

    We dined at Pasta Brioni last weekend with friends. To be very honest, it was quite disappointing…read more It was a summer Saturday in Phoenix, and the restaurant wasn't very busy, yet we barely got seated and our waiter was rushing us to order. We weren't ready! I think he was disappointed that we were not going to build a big bar tab. Only 2 of us ordered from the bar list. Now to the food. We've eaten at this place many many times over the years. And returned because the food and service were excellent. However this time, our food was far from what we expected, and the waiter seemed like he wished he were anywhere else but there! The appetizer ordered was so haphazardly put on the plate, and was also not tasty. My husband's salmon was thin and dry. I don't think this place has seen any updating since it opened. Currently, it feels dank and dirty with no signs of welcoming any changes. It's always sad to see the neglect of management/investors in not protecting their stock in trade- their reputation and respect for their customers.
