Chicken piccata had too thick and creamy a sauce with limited flavor. A side of over cooked spaghetti The pizza was bland in flavor and the worst tasting crust I've had in years So many more quality Italian restaurants in a five mile radius read more

Friendly, relaxed vibe with the absolute nicest, most welcoming staff. Located near DC Ranch, this is a beautiful restaurant with a large comfortable bar area. Great happy hour with fantastic pricing on food and drinks, every day from 3 to 6 PM. The pizzas are especially good and can be found on the happy hour menu as well. Perfect place to meet up with friends or celebrate a special occasion. Seating inside or out. read more

Been here twice now, we loved it both times! No exaggeration my favorite Caesar salad I've had since moving to AZ from Long Island 4 years ago. It's great. Wish I had a better picture lol. My fiancé is 100% Sicilian and him & his family love their pizza. I personally love the meatball pizza. The rigatoni vodka with chicken is very good as well! Along with the garlic bread, Spiedini Al Forno & Quattro Stagioni pizza. Wait staff is very friendly too and restaurant is beautiful! :) read more

We live in Queen Creek AZ and planned to visit Heritage kitchen in Scottsdale but when we showed up , we were surprised to see that they were closed from July 2-6 for the holiday , which was a bummer , so I looked for a place close by and found a little italian restaurant called Ciao Grazie. Im glad we stumbled across this place...its a a must-visit! We started with the meatball appetizer, and they were a huge hit--tender, flavorful, and the perfect way to begin our meal. My husband ordered the chicken parmesan, and he absolutely loved it. I had the chicken piccata, which was perfectly prepared and full of lemo flavor. I also tried the pizza, and it was outstanding. One of the highlights of our visit was talking with the manager, Stefano. He was incredibly friendly and provided exceptional service. He explained that everything is cooked in their wood-fired ovens, and they even make their fresh mozzarella in-house. You can definitely taste the difference! The drinks were just as impressive. We enjoyed an Italian Mule which paired amazingly well with my Chicken Picatta, a Limoncello Blueberry Mojito, and an Espresso Martini--each one was delicious. To top off an already amazing meal, we shared their caramelized dessert calzone filled with Nutella and banana and topped with ice cream. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic dining experience. From the food and drinks to the outstanding service, everything exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend Ciao Grazie to anyone looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience! read more

Excellent service, Stefano was wonderful. His family business! We went early & enjoyed a Caesar salad, an Americano pizza and we each ordered an entree. Chicken piccata was perfect! Lots of lemon & very light on the breading and my husband enjoyed the chicken parmesan, which he loved! The portions are just right. We took the pizza home for leftovers! It's a great central location, beautiful ambiance and definitely a new rotation on our restaurant list! read more

Happy hour is well worth the visit! Service is friendly and attentive and food is plentiful and delicious. Happy hour is daily from 3-6pm. We had the small margarita pizza, chicken flatbread, and bolognese bruschetta. It was very filling for the two of us! , read more

Ciao Grazie has earned a permanent spot in our rotation. We've dined here several times over the past month and haven't had a single miss -- the food is consistently excellent, beautifully presented, and the service is attentive without feeling rushed. It has the feel of a true neighborhood restaurant that genuinely cares about the experience, not just the table turn. Meeting Kevin, the GM and part owner, told us everything about why this place runs the way it does. For Italian in North Scottsdale, this is the one. read more

Amazing food and even better service. 5 's. Location is perfect too. Bella is attentive and on point. Thank you Ciao Grazie. read more

Ciao Grazie is a solid choice for a meal. Conveniently located next to the DC Ranch Village Health Club, it's an easy stop if you're there for a workout. Both indoor and outdoor seating are usually available, even without a reservation. In Scottsdale, where restaurant prices often feel inflated, Ciao Grazie offers a refreshing balance of quality and value. My go-to is the Margherita pizza, priced reasonably at $17. Specialty cocktails are available for around $8, and they also offer a good selection of beers on tap or bottles. There's a full bar as well, and they can make you an Ilatian classic like a Negroni. Happy hour each day 3-6 pm. Reservations are typically not required. read more

Food and service was very good. Very intimate restaurant. Parking was plenty. Will add this Ciao Grazie to our favorite list.

The food service and ambience are all amazing. Highly recommend. Love their seasonal salads as well easy to find parking and a table on most occasions read more

First visit and these are my observations - limited menu, chicken piccata shouldn't have flour in the sauce, red sauce a bit bland and house wine really bad. That being said, I can't wait to go back. Loved the looks of the restaurant and our server was absolutely the sweetest young lady. We didn't have the pizza but Will on our next visit. While I realize they are going for an Italian theme, would love to have a bit bigger selection of California red wines. read more

Great for a pizza and wine! Super friendly staff! Comfortable neighborhood place! Good value too... read more

We always go to this beautiful restaurant that has delicious food and the service was impeccable. We love the location because it is very close by and the breeze helps because we sit outside. Then we enjoy the yummy food that they have like their pastas and melted cheese the name of which I do not know, but I love I would definitely recommend this wonderful restaurant and I love our server last night because she was very attentive. read more

So I hate to do this, but I'm always honest on here. 3 stars seems a bit harsh but I need to make another run here. I just wasn't blown away by the food I ate. Arizona has some solid pizza places, but maybe I ordered wrong. Here's what I had. Scamorza - Smoked Mozzarella Cheese and Mushrooms, melted down to a gooey perfection, served with a side of Garlic Flat Bread with a Prosciutto option. I nixed the Prosciutto just cause I went with a friend who is a pescatarian but even though, the main dish just lacked flavor. What made the dish good was the Garlic Flat Bread. Worth a try I'd say. Al Salmone Pizza - Smoked Salmon, Mozzarella, Caramelized Onions and Capers. Again, not much flavor here, I've had this pizza before at other places, and it's amazing, but, just didn't hit for me here. (Not Pictured) Insalata Veneziana - Great Salad, I enjoyed this dish the most. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there's other pizzas I'd live, I need to make a run back but. The environment was awesome, the service was great, it had a nice vibe to it so, I'll definitely be back. Give it a go, we all have different experiences, mine wasn't the best but I didn't get to try the entire menu so. I'll be back for sure. Enjoy!! read more

This place is amazing. Everything is wonderful, food, service and ambience. Price is also really good.

Been driving past this location for 3 years and couldn't get a good look inside and would go an extra 5 minutes to another pizza spot Grimaldis. Well tonight I messed up a resv at another restaurant so I said let try Ciao Grazie so we did. We tried caesar , meatballs and penne pasta all 5 stars. After that we had a cheese pizza and also a sausage one. Once again 5 star perfect sausage on was a A++++ then finished with the best pistachios cannoli and pizookie finished with another 5 star. Saved the best for last service A+++++ we had a great young lady with a southern accent who gave us 5 star service. We will be back again and soon read more

I love Ciao Grazie! Their pizzas are excellent, their apps and entrees are unique and tasty, the service is friendly and the wine list does the job! Moreover, they're about the only restaurant left in town that doesn't take reservations for parties of four or less, so if you decide you want great pizza at the spur of the moment, check them out! read more

This place has fantastic wood fired pizza. I eat here regularly... in fact it is my go-to for pizza. I have eaten their pizza over 100 times and never had a bad experience. Their ingredients are excellent quality. Their crust has the right amount of crunch and chew. I highly recommend! read more

We've been going here for years. The food has consistently been solid - their meatballs and sauce in particular. I wish they made their own pasta but the sauce is so good it doesn't matter in a few of their dishes. The pizzas are also very delicious. One reviewer recently has a conniption about a 3% fee for using his credit card stating it was charged without warning. It is clearly stated on the initial check. And it's 3% which ended increasing my bill $3. My dentist did the same thing because costs are up and this is one way folks can help them save and give them and chance to save. It isn't worth breaking up for life - let's not be that petty. I never have cash so I'll pay a slightly higher fee to prevent them from raising the price for everything. read more

In need of a quick bite to eat before hitting the Gateway Trailhead, we stumbled into Ciao Grazie, which was perfect! Conveniently, it was also happy hour! We came in in the middle of the afternoon and we were the only customers, which was slightly worrisome. However, contrary to our concern, it was great. Before we left, there were multiple couples that were obviously frequenting guests. We ordered a Prickly Pear Margarita (since this isn't something very common in Alabama), the meat sauce bruschetta and the chicken flatbread. The flatbread was my favorite, because the crust was seasoned so well. This is a great spot for some Italian food with great service before a hike and I'd definitely go back for dinner. read more

My husband and I went for happy hour, but didn't really they just discount the food because the portions are like half the size of the regular menu. The food was terrible, the service was terrible, and we won't be back. Don't waste your money here when there are so many other amazing restaurants in the area. read more

The quality and size of the pizza is not worth the price. Two 12" pizzas were $45. Both were burnt on a side. The cauliflower crust was less than 11". They said the crust shrinks! Silly thought but if they know that why not make it 14" before cooking so the customer gets the 12" going out the door As advised for price. read more

Ciao Grazie is a nice place to sit back, relax, sip wine and munch on some pizza; as we did this past Saturday evening. The service was prompt and friendly and their food was pretty good, too. But over the past five years, the world has changed. And things, have become pretty competitive in the wood fire pizza business. It feels like they're a zillions Fired Pies and Pieology around these days, willing to take your order and hand you a delicious pizza in 90 seconds. We certainly did feel right at home at Ciao Grazie, with it's intimate, grotto like ambience. But their Margherita pizza was just okay. The star of the night, was their Bolognese Bruschetta (photo), with shaved parmigiano-reggiano cheese (photo) on top. They also have a diverse wine list and a well stocked cellar. Nice! So Three Stars, A-Okay. Expect to pay $45 for two, not including gratuities. read more

Experienced CIAO GRAZIE PIZZERIA WINE BAR in Scottsdale their Spring Seasonal Menu....After ordering their Steak and Pesto with Mozzarella Flatbread Appetizer I learned I was the first to order this seasonal item. Felt like I won the lottery being the first to experience this explosion of fresh homemade pesto, mozzarella, and marinated for an insane amount of time top-of-the-line medium-rare tenderloin bites that draped as its ta-da topping. This appetizer flatbread is not in the traditional shape you might expect to see, it looks more like a pizzeria in shape that does not weigh you down its airy, and full of flavors that danced on my taste buds of full enjoyment. The location is great on the corner of Legacy/Thompson Peak in Scottsdale with plenty of parking in the back of the eatery. Indoor, seating offers generous size bar seating, high tops, and table seating along with/outdoor patio-style wicker cushion surround sectionals and chair seating. CIAO GRAZIE PIZZERIA WINE BAR is a casual-elegant atmosphere with a wide-variety menu to give your hunger a smiling satisfaction. As you can see I accompanied a fab cabernet they have a full bar for everyone's desire. Lastly, a shout out to my waiter Anthony who was personable and very knowledgeable about the menu. read more

Came here mid day..between lunch and dinner and it was super quiet. We were the only ones in the place. We ordered bruschetta and Prosecco. My husband had a calzoni and I had a caprese salad. Everything tasted fresh. The staff was very friendly. We will come back and try the pizza. Love the location and there is plenty of parking nearby. read more

Everything about Ciao Grazie wow'd us this past weekend! We had driven by Ciao Grazie so many times , noting how busy it always is and said how we needed to try this place on one of our outings and always forgot about it , as it's 'in' DC Ranch. This week we did not! We called to make a reservation, as we saw that they took reservations... they do not. We showed up right at 6p, because again, it was Saturday and we thought it would be busy. It wasn't and we liked that we were met with a happy hostess who let us pick between a table or a cute booth/table. We loved the decor , which is super Italian with a large brick oven as the centerpoint. There is a cute patio , which we will be back for in the fall. A great bar area that seems fun! There is a happy hour every day from 4-6pm with great apps and drinks. There is also a seasonal menu that looked divine! Tonight we had come for pizza though! We started with the Scamorza, a smoked mozzarella with mushrooms and we could add prosciutto , which , YES, please! It came with a great home made garlicky, bread..Although, I believe that is for everyone! Its served in a small skillet and is round like a small pizza. It's a delight for your mouth! The pizza menu is amazing! The pasta menu is amazing! There are other dishes that scream Italy too.. Our family of three shared a Caesar salad , which like the app. , was so much we could not finish! We ordered two pizzas: The Al Salmone: a perfect Italian rustic crust, cooked to perfection, topped with smoked salmon; mozzerella; carmelized onions that had a bit of balsamic cooked in ; and capers. The second pizza was the Capricciosa: again a perfect crust; tomato sauce; mozzarella; artichoke hearts; olive; salami; ham; mushroom; and parmigiana reggiano. Both pizzas were more than enough for three. Each being a little more than 12" each. We again walked with leftovers. The pizzas wow'd us beyond words! Each different and popping with authentic, fresh flavor. Our wines were on point too! Our server was amazing.. she was one of the best we have had in so long! She never let our water.. or wine ... go empty! She made perfect suggestions and was never without a smile! WE ordered dessert just because , well, it was Saturday and we LOVE Italian everything ! We were already full! The panna cotta here is enough for three to share.. it has a dusting of cocoa that is JUST enough. My daughter ordered the Dolce Della Casa. This dessert was enough for four persons! SHOULD have just stopped because it's Monday as I write this review and it's still being nibbled on with cappuccino at home! NONETHELESS, think of a warm calzone stuffed with Nutella , banana and topped with vanilla and whipped cream! OH to have the metabolism of a 22 year old again!! We loved everything about our night out of decadent eating at Ciao Grazie and can't wait to have another cheat day here soon! I only wish they took reservations! read more
