    Tiramisu (sorry we ate half before taking a photo)
    John O.

    We had heard good things about this place and were astonished at how good it is. Excellent service and honest recommendations from Natalino's son (sorry, forgot his name) made this a stellar experience. Prompt, fast and friendly. The recommended Chianti wine paired perfectly with my sausage and green pepper pasta. The sausage is hand made using an antique grinder that was Natalino's grandfathers! Perfect flavor and robust texture. My GF had the eggplant parmigiana that had the perfect Smokiness. The in house tiramisu was rapidly devoured and was one of the best I ever tasted. This 25 year old Italian restaurant is now my go to pasta place. The pizzas looked good too and they do a thriving takeout business. The decor is more neighborhood eatery than fine dining but the food and service are top notch. Very reasonably priced with most main course dishes around $20 to $25. We did eat early so was not that busy but it was filling up by the time we left. Natalino himself was working there too. A real family affair and 'must visit' gem in N Phoenix.

    Great food and presentation, service was excellent. We got the lobster ravioli, vodka pasta, and smoked chicken Alfredo they were all delicious.

    Cioppino

    What an incredible dining experience! Natalino is the kind of family-owned Italian restaurant that makes you feel like you're part of the family. Watching the father and son work side by side adds such a genuine and welcoming touch. We started with the Meatball Trio, and it was phenomenal. Combined with the warm, homemade bread, it was the perfect way to begin our meal. My girlfriend ordered the cioppino, which was packed with fresh seafood and amazing flavor, while I had the chicken parmesan, cooked to perfection with a delicious homemade sauce and plenty of cheese. We couldn't leave without trying the homemade tiramisu, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It was light, rich, and the perfect finish to an outstanding meal. From the exceptional food to the warm hospitality, Natalino delivers an authentic Italian dining experience that's hard to beat. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing Italian cuisine.

    First time here for lunch. Had the chicken parm with pasta in marinara sauce. Service was great and food was very good. Large open space. All good here.

    Mussels

    Stop scrolling and looking for what to eat and get in here! Love finding a new local spot, running around at lunch and busted a u turn to check this one out. Wasn't starving so i got the mussels on the app menu and i almost ordered a second round, huge chunks of garlic and the butter sauce was insane! Everything was very fairly priced and im coming back! Staff was super sweet bar tender wasn't overwhelming but def paid attention to his customers, service was great! The place is pretty big and tables are spaced out pretty good so you can enjoy your company! Secret menu item by the bar keep-"Italian enchilada" - beef Cannellini

    Tiramisu
    April A.

    This place was a last minute find. And I'm so glad we came, looks unassuming from the outside and simple inside but the food is worth it. We started with the fried mozza which has such a good breading, and the red sauce was fantastic. Chicken parmigiana was so good and the fresh veggies was a nice change from a pasta side. The smoked chicken rigatoni was amazing, such a smoky flavor. And tiramisu was yummy with a shot of lemonchello. Definitely will be back.

    Chicken Alfredo

    Where do I start, amazing food amazing service and the food (did I mention it) was amazing. 10-10 recommend. I will definitely be back.

    Sausage and Peppers
    Donata N.

    So first I have to start off saying, I never, never go out for Italian food. Being from a large Italian family it just never compares to what I can have at home. Had a cousin in town from New Jersey to surprise my dad for his 95th birthday. We picked this restaurant strictly based on our last name is Natalino. Arrived about 2 ish on a hot Saturday afternoon for a late lunch / early dinner. THe five of us were the only diners in the restaurant. Red flag, but I kept an open mind. The restaurant isn't very big with a small bar on one side and a semi open kitchen on the other. Drink and appetizer orders taken while we looked over the menu. Normal Americanized Italian offerings. Two eggplant parm, one chicken parm, a sausage and peppers over linguine and a spinach and mushroom ravioli with vodka sauce. Appetizers, a calamari and a bruschetta brought along with a basket of focaccia bread. Calamari had wonderful flavor with a very light breading, but it was a tad chewy. No points deducted because it did have great flavor. Bruschetta topped generously with finely diced tomato studded with lots of fresh garlic and basil. I only tasted the topping and it would be great on fresh pasta as a pomodoro sauce. The star of the show was the focaccia bread. Soft and studded with herbs, I could have made a meal of just the bread, this made my dining experience worth the trip. Entrees brought. My eggplant was thinly sliced, gently fried in seasoned bread crumbs served with a marinara penne. It was good, above average. It's really all I've ever ordered at an Italian restaurant for I don't make it at home. Husband said his sausage and peppers was good but he would have preferred red bell peppers to the green. The vodka cream sauce on the ravioli was outstanding and my SIL said she'd visit again just for that sauce. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to eat Italian, moderately priced, around $15-$20 a person. A value for fresh, restaurant quality food. Shoot the McD's in the same lot charge $15 for a meal. Restroom clean. Eat the focaccia, it's superb.

After looking over the menu, we started off with Francesco's frittura to share. This dish tasted fine, nothing outstanding. For our main entrees we ordered the brown butter seared scallops with sweet corn risotto and the shrimp fradiavolo. Both of these entrees were outstanding in their own respect. The risotto was subtly sweet and not heavy or rich. Additionally, the scallops were nicely seasoned and not overcooked. The shrimp fradiavolo was mildly spicy and the spaghetti was perfectly al dente. Since we always have room for dessert, we ordered the tiramisu to share. It was nice and fluffy, and not too sweet, which we prefer. Overall, service was friendly, patient, and attentive. The ambiance was comfortable and intimate with lots of indoor seating and some outdoor patio seating. I highly recommend making reservations in advance if you plan on coming here. After our great experience, we will definitely be back to try out some of their other dishes!

Their happy hour concludes at six pm, but in true fashion our flight got delayed. Their hh menu is valid outside and in the bar seating area. We nonetheless pushed our resy back and arrived around 6:40pm. This restaurant has a very cute vibe and I loved the mural near the bar in traditional concrete. The decor and accent walls were all fun, and I really liked the main area. The staff was super attentive and the bartender serving us on Friday, August 28th was the best. Welcoming, informative, and kept it real with us. My partner and I landed on the pappardelle short rib pasta and toto sapore pizza. The pizza was one of my fave pizzas I've had in quite some time. The mixture of meats including sausage, soppressata, and salame parme was perfect with the right amount of spice. The pasta was al dente which was greatly appreciated and it was a lovely meal all around. This spot is worth checking out if you're in the area and wanting a great dinner in a calmer vibe (with some bomb music).

I don't know why the other locations don't offer this as an option. Im not sure when they changed their Italian Farm salad to the Italian Cobb Salad but its very similar and still delicious and refreshing. This has some zucchini, green olives, sun dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, salami of a couple sorts, different cheeses, pistachio mortadella, mixed greens and oregano vinaigrette. I always go for the Roasted Salmon as it's a perfect balance of colors and taste. There were mixed in cauliflower and a bit of broccolini. I would definitely love to have more broccolini though. I ordered this as part of the summer menu which it comes with a choice of their daily soup (which was a creamy chicken soup on a Saturday), Sicilian meatballs, Cacio e Pepe, Simple Salad or Charcuterie plate. I went with the charcuterie plate which had a array of foccicia bread, pitted green olives in an olive mix of rosemary or thyme theme taste, sweetened figs over a soft cheese spread, pecorino cheese I think, candied nuts, a jalapeño forward pickled veggies such as carrots, cauliflower, prosciutto, speck (another type of prosciutto). Other dishes were kids Alfredo pasta, Margherita pizza and the ricotta cavatelli which has lump crab meat and shrimp, mint and lemon olive. Our server was absolutely 100 percent as well as the rest of the staff. This place used to do valet but when we came for lunch there was no valet which I appreciated as the lot is just a regular private parking. This still has the same set up as it was 10 years ago or so with the barnyard type of structure and an open kitchen. Oh how I missed coming to this specific location. I'm ready to eat here again!
