    Half Caesar Salad
    Kennedy L.

    Ives ordered takeout pizza from here twice and this time decided to add on a half Caesar salad. This was what I got for $12. My jaw dropped when I opened the container. In what world is 4 croutons, a sprinkle of Parmesan, and a handful of lettuce $12?? So disappointed and a massive waste of money. Cant even imagine how bad the portions are for their other food. Only giving 3 stars because the pizza is fine

    Diavolo Pizza- not impressed
    Sylvia C.

    This is really a cute and darling little place. My girlfriends and I met there for lunch the other day and we thoroughly enjoyed our three hour lunch! Obviously we had a lot of catching up to do. Anyway, we ordered the fried brussels sprouts and french fries for an appetizer. Both of those were very good. Then we ordered pizza. I ordered the Diablo pizza and asked them to put Italian sausage on it. I will say this that I've had better pizza. It was a little on the burnt side, and the sausage was minuscule in my opinion. Also, the middle of the pie was a bit soggy and not crisp. That's why I gave it four stars. Our service was phenomenal because our server made us feel right at home. When I brought the pizza home to my husband, he absolutely hated it. Again I did not care for the pizza either, but I think I would still give this restaurant another try. They had some other interesting things on the menu.

    Came in recently for an anniversary dinner and had an absolutely outstanding experience. Our server, Brad and other supporting personnel went above and beyond to make our experience pleasant! All the food options we had were a hit and we loved the unique spins/takes that they had on a lot of the dishes. Will definitely be back!

    We decided to try out Nook kitchen today. We have driven by here 100 times and found the time to stop in today. It was recommended that we make a reservation, however, when we arrived on this Sunday afternoon at 1:30, it was not busy at all. Matter of fact, there was just a large table of six people and one other small group on the other side of the restaurant, so Sunday might be the prime time to come. They have a huge pizza oven in the corner, we'll have to come back and give that one a try. But today their lunch menu has a fried chicken sandwich that they were able to amend to be a grilled chicken sandwich and it comes with a Pomodoro dipping sauce- interesting! It was very good Husband had a meatball sandwich which was very filling But honestly, the star of the show was the soup of the day which was a chicken, orzo and vegetables in a tomato broth base. He said they don't make the same soup twice, lol so we actually got a bowl of it to go so I can have some tomorrow and see if I can reverse engineer it, lol. Billy took good care of us, although he accidentally forgot our Arincini appetizer which he then comped, not a problem at all- he brought them anyway and I'm glad he did. They were super creamy on the inside and yummy. My only complaint about this place is that I can imagine it gets very loud! Even with so few people in there with a large party seated at the booth they were incredibly loud and it was difficult for us to even hear each other. I will say, I loved the music that they were playing, foreigner, Don Henley, etc. perfect Sunday kind of music! I had a glass of wine and hubs had a beer and our total bill was $78. They do have a happy hour, and I will upload a picture of that.

    I'm a fan! I've done carry-out so far and I'm loving the food and service. Ordering for lunch during the week the food is always ready, freshly prepared, and so so good. The service is great. I'm greeted as I walk in and taken care of for a quick transaction. I've placed the order over the phone and my food is always ready on time. The chicken sandwich is amazing. I need both hands to hold it so the portion size is perfect. I appreciate tjat the chicken breast is not processed chicken. The sandwich is light in that is not heavy from the batter, oil or bread like at some other restaurants. What sets this sandwich off is the vodka pomodoro sauce to dip it in. Mmm Mmm. This was so good, I drank what was left so it wouldn't go to waste. :) I enjoyed the side of house chips. Very fresh and light as well. I have also tried a half salad with this sandwich but I prefer the chips. They hold up well for a couple of days if there are some left over. I'm making plans to dine in and experience the dinner atmosphere. Can't wait!

    Arancini
    Hannah P.

    I visited Nook Kitchen with my family to celebrate my little sister's birthday, and overall it was a mixed experience. We started with three appetizers -- the roasted olives, calamari, and arancini -- and honestly, the appetizers were the standout of the night. I especially loved the roasted olives, and my sister couldn't stop talking about how good the arancini were. For entrées, we ordered a pizza, carbonara, piccata, and a salad. These were all okay, but nothing really stood out or felt memorable compared to the starters. We brought our own birthday cake, and there was a $2 per person cake-cutting fee. Our waitress, though, was wonderful -- super nice, quick, and very attentive, which we really appreciated. One downside is the parking. The lot is crowded, the spaces are tiny, and there aren't many spots available, so getting in and out wasn't the easiest. All in all, I might come back, but probably just with friends for drinks and appetizers since those were definitely the highlight.

    Vegan rigatoni
    Gayl B.

    It's restaurant week!!! So, we ended up having the 3 course meal. I started with the watermelon and tomato salad (excellent), then moved on to the vegan rigatoni. The menu has a coconut cream sauce vegan pasta dish that is no longer available but replaced with the new one that as you can see from my photo is a red sauce. Good but not great. What was great was my husband's pizza! Wowza. Loved it. I now have a new favorite pizza place! Lastly I ate my dessert of a skillet cookie with ice cream. Good grief this was ridiculously bad (as in GOOD). Melted chocolate chips in an oozing cookie and still warm. Trust me, just order it. You will love it. I did! Our waitress was top notch! We had other wait staff checking in with us, which was super nice, but our waitress was attentive and friendly. We sat at this huge round half circle bench seat, which was difficult to slide into. Note to self: wear pants that slide and don't stick to the fabric of the bench next time. There were two large screens above the bar that kept the attention of one of the members of our party. Let's just say that she has very limited screen time as an almost two year old, but she enjoyed her dinner too!

    I like the vibe in this place. There was only one downside to this restaurant, parking. Unfortunately, their parking lot is rather tiny! You will probably have to park on one of the side streets when the place is busy (or if you come after 8 pm when you can use the restricted parking spaces). When we entered the restaurant we were greeted and seated immediately (as we had a reservation-highly recommended). Our waitstaff were all awesome and service was provided with a smile every time. As it was restaurant week (September 2025) we all decided to participate. I had the salad, pizza and the cookie. All were delightful. However, the cookie dessert was unbelievably fantastically scrumptious. I'd go back just for the cookie. All members of our group had a delightful meal. Highly recommended.

    Went here yesterday for dinner with my family and overall liked it for the food, while hated for how loud it is there. You can barely hear anything. Reserved table through Resy and still we had to wait for 10 mins for table to be clear. Not the very great first experience. Here are my takes: Food/Drinks: Ordered 2 appetizers, 1 pizza and a cocktail. Food was no doubt delicious. No complaint at all for anything. Great quality Italian food. While the cocktail was disappointing. Waiter acknowledged that they ran out of garnishing for our drink and also it was very sweet and tasted like juice. Service: Waiter was very nice to us. Welcoming, explained everything, recommended us as well. Service was quick and he checked on us as well multiple times. Ambiance: While the place interior is well done, but how loud it gets here makes it less appealing for families or folks who prefer some silence. I would not recommend this place just for this reason. Hygiene: Overall it was clean but our table was cleaned in rush and it was wet when we were seated. It gets tricky at such surface when cutleries are kept on it. Price: Well priced menu in my opinion. Wouldn't say very expensive and not very less priced as well. For the quality, it is well done I would say.

    Meatballs
    Christina Y.

    Used my Amex quarterly Resy credit for lunch here -- honestly, Resy really needs to add more restaurants in AZ because our options are so limited. Tried this spot for the first time since it had a solid 4.6 on Google... sadly I think we must've hit an off day. Service? Fantastic. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive -- truly the highlight of the meal. Food? Eh... not so much. Here's what we tried: *Arancini: Not crispy, overcooked rice, and just missing flavor. *Meatballs: Pretty good, but nothing to rave about. *Caesar salad: Passable. *Cacio e Pepe: Pasta was overcooked and seriously lacking that peppery punch. Isn't that literally the whole point of the dish? *Chicken: According to my husband, one of the worst dishes he's had. *Banana pudding: The star of the show! Honestly, this dessert and the service was their saving grace. Ambiance was simple and comfy -- your standard neighborhood spot, nothing fancy. Would I go back? Nah. But hey, at least my Resy credit didn't go to waste!

    Oxtail gnocchi
    Ashley P.

    Had a great time having family dinner here on a Saturday evening. The place is somewhat small inside but we had a huge booth and plenty of room for the 6 of us. We started off with some calamari for the table, which was cooked very well. The sauce actually had a nice kick to it that I personally really enjoyed. For the entrees, everyone enjoyed their dishes. However, the shrimp scampi was a little on the thicker/drier side. My oxtail gnocchi was perfect though! Very tasty! For dessert, definitely get the banana cream pie. It comes in a jar and the crumbly crust and fluffy whip cream are a great/light way to end the meal.

    Salmon Alfredo
    Ethan R.

    This was a great place for a date night with my wife. The food was pretty good. My wife ordered the Alfredo (with salmon), and I ordered the Sunday Gravy. The Alfredo was made to near perfection, with a creamy base and perfectly done noodles. \I was slightly disappointed with the Sunday Gravy. There were a lot of rougher bites where I had to pick out tendons from the meat, and it disrupted my meal for sure. The service was very good. We were never waiting for too long or wondering when we would be helped. They were very prompt. As far as value goes, I'd say things were slightly overpriced for the quality of food. It was okay, but I'm not sure I would go here again, unfortunately.

    Parmesan artichoke
    Adrianna S.

    Great spot in Arcadia! Love the vibe. Modern and very nice. We came in for happy hour- $8 select wines, $8 Aperol spritzes and other specials on drinks. $3 off starts, salads and pizzas, too. We tried the artichoke Parmesan starter- soooo good! I asked them how they made it because I need to try this at home. Pizza was delicious. Napoleon style- my absolute favorite. Tastes light and fresh. Service was excellent. We sat at the bar and had a great experience. We will be back.

Upon walking in, the place was packed and we stood in line at the bar for standing room only. The bartenders were friendly and the cocktail list was pretty interesting.

She was very sweet to check what flavors they have and gave me several different options. My boyfriend got some whiskey and they gave a hefty pour.
