    Pina colada smoothie
    Zabrina W.

    Great service at times. Food is good for convenience when staying at the Westin villas. Also good for poolside if you want to purchase food basic items like chicken strips,fries,burger,and salads.

    This Greek Salad is the first salad to make me feel full! Delicious!
    Brad G.

    This restaurant is part of The Westin Villas. I'd imagine you could make your way in here even if you aren't staying at the hotel/resort. It sits on the backside of the lobby near the pools. It would be a great place to people watch or to watch a game with a group on their TVs. I went here twice during vacation and the thing that prompts this review surprised me! The menu item to order? GREEK SALAD! That's tough for me because salads are rarely good when you go out somewhere. Opting to make my perfect salad at home is always preferable. That wasn't the case with this Greek Salad. It was huge and it's the first salad EVER to fill me up! I never thought I could be so full from eating a salad! This salad is on the pricier side at $11 but it's well worth it. Not only is it huge but you get a fair amount of everything included in the salad. There are plenty of tomatoes, lettuce, olives, feta, onion and lemon oregano dressing... oh! Did I mention the lemon oregano dressing?! Nom nom nom. I still can't believe how satisfied I was with this salad and it has been nearly three months since I had it! If you check Yelp while here and see this place, do yourself a favor and order the Greek Salad even if you get it to go. Additional notes: -- Short rib sandwich - On the 2nd visit, I ordered the short rib sandwich. It was good but it could've been way better. It made me wish I would've ordered the Greek Salad again. -- Truffle fries - If you just need a snack, order these.

    This is the restaurant on the villas side of the Westin Kierland in Scottsdale. And it is pretty alright. Prices are a little high, but that is to be expected as a hotel/resort markup. I have got to say the service is great. We had a couple different servers each time we visited and they were friendly and patient. And on our last evening, they were kind enough to turn on a heater for us for a little bit. The first time we went, we got the truffle fries to share. YOU WANT the truffle fries. If there are more than two of you, you might want to get TWO orders of the truffle fries. For real. They are so dang good! I also got the Greek salad. It was huge! Definitely worth it's price. And super tasty. Lots of tomatoes and olives for topping. The salads have an option of adding a protein, and I wanted the fried calamari to put on top of it. I think they might have messed up and given me the full appetizer of the calamari...it was SO MUCH. I can't remember what I had on my last visit (except for more truffle fries) but I am sure it was tasty. All of the drinks we tried were delicious! They have a pretty big selection of cocktails, and we were not disappointed by any of them. It is more on the casual end of things, and they will probably be showing whatever sporting event is currently happening at the time on the big screen. I think you will enjoy yourself here, and if you are staying at the Villas, will probably find your way back here more than once just like we did!

Today, I called to confirm we were signed up for the Father's Day "Special" which was offered with pizza, and if we could order a 2nd bottle of this "special" wine, in advance. I was very rudely told by the manager, their online reservations were turned off, and there was no reservation for us. He then said, I should have known that they weren't accepting reservations, especially if I didn't receive a confirmation! It was offensive as I make a number of online & phone reservations, without getting a confirmation, and have never had a problem. Why should the customer assume that your reservations are turned off? There are a number of ways this manager could have resolved the situation, but he chose to blame the customer, which especially under these circumstances, (& in the restaurant business) is never okay. Never-the-less, there are so many pizza/Italian restaurants to pick from, we will be patronizing them from now on.

This place was between where we were and our hotel - so why not give it a try. We had garlic cheese bread, the meatball sub, the chicken sub, and a 10inch pizza. We didn't take photos because we dove right in. The chicken sub was perfect. Two slices of chicken breast (thick) with the perfect tangy vinaigrette and banana peppers. My picky daughter even ate half of it! The wife said the meatball was perfect. Not spicy (sometimes marinara has a kick) The other kiddo had the pizza and he ate the whole thing. Was a little greasy but it was pepperoni - so you can't really avoid that. All in all it was great food - quiet atmosphere - nice server -- and best of all a good value. It's hard to eat out for a family of four for less than $100 - we were about 65 with everyone eating, an appetizer, 2 Sammie's, a 10 inch pizza and my daughter had cheese bread. Worth it for a change of pace!

I'm from the east coast and haven't dared try a Stromboli in Arizona yet. I'll be honest that I didn't have much of an expectation, but oh my! The top of the dough was perfectly seasoned with garlic and other deliciousness. It was stuffed with cheese, sausage, ham, and pepperoni-- I was truly in my happy place with memories of being back east. Maybe I'll expand my horizons after this visit, but I think Yo Pauly's Stromboli will stay in my rotation. I got the slice of pepperoni pizza as back up, but I didn't need it!

The chicken was juicy and tender, lasagna was creamy but not too greasy, the rigatoni was full of flavors (spicy, lemony, and fragrant), and the fried seafood had a light batter. Not to mention the tiramisu - you could feel the coffee and mascarpone melted in your mouth immediately. I would say since this is a global chain, their Italian food is globalized in a way that some Italian tastes are gone. But still , you can tell the food is high quality and the chef put efforts in it. We also liked the Italian vibe in the restaurant - really bright and inviting. Overall, a great place to hang out with family and friends to get some Italian taste!

The real deal Italian from Naples! 2. Pizza was simple and very good 3. They have ricotta gnocchi (preferred over the heavy potato gnocchi) Cons 1. A lot of the food on the menu was very pricey. The pizzas and pasta without protein were a more reasonble price. 2. Very dark and empty inside the restaurant (this may have been because it was late).

I have maintained that the best pie experience I've ever had in America or Italy was once at BIANCO with a celebrity friend who the kitchen adored. That pie was amazing. And my next dozen favorites were IL Bosco. I have tried pizza all over the world (surprisingly good Napoli-style in Sydney AU), and lots in NYC, all over Jersey, Hartford, Detroit, Chicago, LA and San Francisco. I just found IL Bosco's most consistent. Well, last night IL Bosco was FIRE, and changed everything. My friends and I went simple this time...just salad and pies. They were impressed by the dressing on the Kale salad, and the flavorful pancetta. But the pies!!! We wanted extremes...that would complement each other so we went with the white Alba, with caramelized onion, sautéed mushrooms and a honey drizzle. The slightly salty cheese was a beautiful palate cleanser from the other amazing pie...the ZA! With Hatch Green Chili, Pepperoni, Peppadew peppers, red sauce and cheese with hot honey...it was the opposite on the red pie/white pie spectrum. And they were cooked beautifully. A just-right hint of char, beautifully light and flavorful crust and flavors that hit you individually rather than as a mess, they combined careful execution with intense and wonderful flavors. That moved into my #1 slot! And, instead of wine, we all had a Menabrea beer, one of my favorite Italian brews. The hops and subtle citrus and caramel notes worked beautifully to show off the pies. Absolutely amazing evening sampling the pinnacle of pizza.
