The food, service, & overall experience was 100/10. This is a true restaurant with real chefs and great service they were willing to accommodate exactly what we wanted. Drinks weren't too sweet but super tasty. read more

I'm not sure if this is a chain or an AZ chain but we saw this place as it looked a little on the fancier side and we're having a date night before a fancy show. We were able to make reservations right when they opened at 5 and we got seated right away. I'm not sure if they just opened but the hostess and our waitress were new. The hostess sat us by other people but the manager happily moved us without us even asking. We got a nice high top right by the open window on a beautiful day. Our waitress was amazing, she did great for her first week. I had the peach cocktail, it's not sweet but it was pretty good. I also had a fuzzy navel the bartender made really well. They were out of a few scotch. We started with the chefs board and not only was it one of the best presentations but it had a fantastic assortment, there was Brie, goat cheese, mozzarella and this mustard seed cheese that was phenomenal. It came with a side of bread and we were able to get more (they don't give enough bread). It had 4 assortments of meats, not sure the names of all of them. It had mustard, fig spread and really interesting peppers that were slightly spicy. The bread was yummy with it all (slightly toasted) For dinner I had the shrimp pasta. It had a slightly spicy red sauce with tomatoes and was super good. They gave me three big prawns and a huge portion. It fed me 3 meals. My boyfriend had the rigatoni. It had huge chunks of meat and I loved the big shells they used. No spicy to the rigatoni. We will definitely come again and try some more appetizers and other entrees. We had a great date night!! read more

We had wonderful food and drinks and great customer service. I loved the Brussel sprouts appetizer!

Stumbled upon this place looking for a new place to try. Service is top notch! Very welcoming, and our server Drew was extremely attentive, felt like an old friend how easily we conversation flowed. The steak frites we so good. So tender, the flavor was bomb!! A must try. But let me say, the pizza!! BETTER THAN TREVORS! The crust was the perfect amount of crispy. The cheese was just as good. We will definitely be back. read more

Great food and quick, friendly service. The bartenders are always top notch in their knowledge and work to help maintain a relaxed but somewhat upscale atmosphere. read more

This place never disappoints! The smash burger for lunch is the best! Anything at dinner will do the trick. Nicholas and the team are the best hands down! Modern day cheers! read more

My first time at the Nook and wow I am really impressed! Great service and friendly staff. The best pasta I ever had including my trips to Italy! Perfectly cooked! Great beer selection and how can you go wrong with 1/2 price wine bottles on Wednesday! I think I found my new spot! 10 out of 10! read more

Stopped by here last night and easily found open spots at the pizza bar. Ordered the Porco e Funghi pizza. Flavor and ingredients were great, however the crust of the pizza was all burnt and black. Dough was overall too thin, which likely caused the burning. read more

We found Nook on Open Table and the reviews were good so decided to try it. It did not disappoint!!!!!! The vibe was fun with a good energy. We sat the bar and the service was great. The food was REALLY awesome. I had the Lemon Chicken Piccata at the recommendation of our bar tender and my brother had a vegan dish that great too. We had the Parmesan Artichokes for an appetizer that was unusual and yummy. Would definitely recommend! read more

The chef at this restaurant is superb. Every dish I've ever eaten at this restaurant has been a 5+. Pasta and pizza are there best dishes and my friends rave about the octopus appetizer. Try the warm olive next time too. read more

Delicious! Had been wanting to try nook for years and finally went last night with my parents and husband! We didn't have a reservation but we're seated right away. The table we were at was huge for 4 people haha. We all loved the giant lightbulb decor. Love the style of the restaurant, very cool vibe in there! My dad and I shared a margherita pizza and the tomato salad. My mom had the arugula salad that I tried a few bites of. My husband got a margherita pizza too. Everything was SO delicious. I loved how fresh the cheese was on the pizza. Also sometimes thin crusts like that get super soggy but this one didn't at all! We ended our meal sharing vanilla chocolate chip gelato. It was creamy with big chocolate chunks, yum. It's a little on the pricey side but not terrible for salads and pizza. read more

What a great find! From the impeccable service to the delicious food, our evening could not have been better! I am a bolognese snob, and this is the best I have eaten in Arizona. Everything we ordered was prepared with care and the staff was so eager to please. I recommend The Nook Kitchen and look forward to my next visit! read more

I was able to get a fairly last minute reservation here on a Saturday evening, which I was grateful for. First impression is good...cool decor and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. We ordered drinks which were really good. My husband had the dealer's choice and thought it was so fun being surprised. Our server was really incredible. So helpful and an absolute delight! We each ordered pasta and they were both great. Portions are a little small for the price, but you can definitely tell the pasta is homemade. It has the perfect bite and texture that only homemade pasta has. We had a very enjoyable evening and would like to return to try some other dishes! read more

Ryan was great and an amazing server! Drinks were amazing specially the electric one Food: the arugula salad was really tasty and I would get it again Comp valet and they do industry discounts too! read more

10/10 for ambience and vegan options! They have both a vegan pizza and vegan pasta. They should definitely consider adding a vegan appetizer in addition to this, however still a plus that they have vegan entrees at all. I had the vegan baked rigatoni which was delicious! It had vegan cheese baked on top which still managed to pull with the fork (win). My boyfriend got the rigatoni bolognese which he said was "f-in delicious." They make all pasta in house and it makes all the difference in texture. Ordered an espresso martini off menu and it was definitely top 5 espresso martinis I've ever had. A bit on the pricey side, but otherwise, the place was great! read more

Food and service both excellent. Our party of six had sausage pizza, bolognese, lasagna and shrimp scampi. The steak frites was the star. All very good, flavorful, well-seasoned. Co-owner Nicholas visited our table and was so nice, as in the past. Server Rachel is a top-notch professional and made our visit special. Great food and service, will certainly be here again soon. thanks! read more

Just okay. Also used AMEX/Resy while dining here, and thank goodness, because everything is priced WAY too high. We started with the Artichoke Hearts, which were okay, but you didn't quite know where you were cutting and what you were getting. Got the Seasonal Mixed Greens salad which was the absolute standout of the night. Chose the Nook Burger for my entree and at first it seemed great, then I realized it was inconsistent - juicy and tender in some spots, then dry and chewy (I had to spit out one piece) in other spots. The fries were pretty bland and moist - nothing to write home about. Otherwise, the ambiance of the restaurant is okay, but the Valet seemed unnecessary and the small parking lot was annoying (I guess that's how they justify the Valet?), though I find this is a characteristic of hipster places that are well-reviewed and hard to get into (in several senses of the phrase). A mostly non-offensive place, but I can't say I like this trend of items being priced high only to be discounted for the select few, and I REALLY can't imagine anyone paying full price for anything here...except maybe the salad ;-) read more

The food here is unbelievable! Diavolo and Funghi pizza are my faves. The burger with the BACON JAM like are you kidding me?? And the best arancini I've ever had. The menu has so many options to choose from and you really can't go wrong! Vibe is perfect for guys/girls night out, date night, or a great night at the bar. Staff is always super friendly and the menu. Cocktails are also PHENOMENAL. Enjoy! read more

This posh little late night date night spot was so cute! The vibe was really low key and sophisticated the waiter was nice and friendly but my pizza was alittle well done! Kinda pricey but I think you pay for the vibe which was really nice. read more

Fantastic fresh food! We go here monthly and have never had anything but great service and fantastic food!

Such a great restaurant. We ordered off the specials menu. Had the Burrata starter shared between two, it was perfect and delicious. I should have taken a picture of the menu, there were alot of fantastic flavors/ingredients in all the dishes. Burrata was topped with pistachios, pureed figs (I think) and honey, served with toasted bread. Entrees-Pan seared miso glazed Salmon atop pumpkin polenta with seared zucchini. It was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection, so moist. Hubbie had the mole pork chop served with a jicama, apple slaw and another side, not sure but it was all crazy good. I'm not a pork person, but this was so delicious. Such a beautiful dish Dessert-Stracciatella and Tiramisu. Both were so delicious. The Tiramisu, you could taste all the fresh ingredients used to prepare the dessert. Drew was the best server, pace and attention was perfect. Very nice restaurant, Chefs Amber and Art personally came to our table to ask if we enjoyed our meals. Loved talking to them about their history and how much they enjoy creating these wonderful one of a kind dishes. We will be back in a couple of weeks to try their new fall specials menu. read more

This place is really awesome! Husband and I tried this place out after seeing them on a google search and I am happy we made the drive. Food was very good. I ordered the lemon linguine pasta with salmon and my husband ordered the Diavlo pizza. The pizza will come out a little early but our server warned us before hand so I wasn't surprised or looking for my food. Speaking of service, it was very attentive and Ryan was phenomenal. He made great suggestions, was knowledgeable and always came to check in on us. Hubby said his pizza was awesome and was not super oily (which he never likes). I can say the pasta was very robust and full of great flavor, especially if you like lemon. Atmosphere is cool, super cute interior. The restaurant felt clean. I will very much be back to hang out at Nook! read more

This place was nice. I stopped bye one night with my friend and they had a DJ. I would go back just because hearing the music was nice. Especially some hip hop and r&b. But the food was just okay. My friend did enjoy her cocktail. The waiter made her a specialty one. The style of the restaurant was nice as well. read more

Outstanding dinner at "Nook Kitchen" the atmosphere and service by Adam and the after dinner complimentary "Limoncello Shot" was the absolute highlight of my evening. Definitely a recommendation for an intimate dinner with the ones you love thank you again for the great service. read more

If you're looking for an elevated pizza experience and some fine vegan food with hospitable friendly staff, be sure to check out Nook Kitchen in the Arcadia neighborhood. Their menu features three fine vegan dishes from handmade pastas to house-made pizzas. My faves were the Vegan Campanelle and the Vegan Funghi. The Campanelle comes with house-made campanelle, shallot, garlic, shaved fennel, evoo, coconut zucchini cream, roasted pistachio, and parsley. The Funghi comes with plant-based cheese, sherry mushrooms, arugula, and truffle oil. read more

MARGARITA PIZZA IS PHENOMENAL. Service was excellent! I came for happy hour after I came back from the club! They serve food until 2am!! I will be returning to try their pastas !! read more

Cane here to celebrate my bday! They have a nice bar area and regular tables and then really big tables with booth to sit a lot of people. We had an assortment of salads, pastas and desserts. I especially liked the burrata and the Brussels chips. I got the Shrimp Diavolo pasta and it was very tasty. Shrimp were cooked well. The sauce was so good and the portion was just the right amount that leaves you enough room to try desserts. We pretty much tried all of the desserts that night and everything was good. The tiramisu is a classic yet never gets old and I liked the gelato too! read more

Found this place on Yelp last night and drove by it on my way to another place last night and decided to come back for a drink. I like the set up. I would say, it's a good idea to have a reservation, I didn't have one so, I ended up sitting at the bar. A plus, the bar has purse hooks, not all establishments have those. For a drink, I ended up going with my favorite, Dealers choice. All they ask is what you want your base, I asked for Vodka base. I ended up with what tasted like a cucumber lemonade. It was delicious and refreshing. The only downfall, there was one bartender making craft cocktails for the entire restaurant on a Friday night. I also had an appetizer, I went with steak frites, the fries were delicious and so was the dipping sauce. The steak, was ehh. Overall, I am planning to come back. As they are known for their pizza so, I will be trying their pizza next time. The staff was friendly. read more

Came here for dinner for a party of six people. Waited nearly 2 hours omg they were busy. This place got good vibes and a great place for a date. I ordered their filet and I think they could have cooked it a little better with taste. Medium rare was cooked right. Their brussel sprouts chips are delicious too however a bit too salty for me. Meatballs were great. Overall pretty good foods for a great dinner. Our waitress is attentive and lively too. read more

The food was solid. The vibe was also good. Fun place with a group. When the weather is nice they open the doors and it is a cool spot.

We started with the meatball appetizer they were so good Then we ordered a margarita pizza it was from a wood oven great sauce and even better cheese For our entree we had chicken Marsala so tasty and the homemade pasta was excellent cooked just right read more

Actually found this restaurant using open table on my way driving into Phoenix and so glad I did. The craft drinks are outstanding and the food is even better. Atmosphere I would consider to be trendy but the dress code was listed as smart casual. The only part that I didn't like was the noise levels were a little too much for me but it was a Saturday night. Adam our waiter definitely gets 5 stars as he was friendly and fast to serve us as well as check on us often. The entire staff was friendly and warm as well. Even though it is a little higher price point then your chain restaurants it is well worth it. Would definitely come back if I was back in town. read more
