Pubblico Italian Eatery - Scottsdale

Such GREAT FOOD!! Our server was so friendly and helpful. We added an appetizer at the last minute and it was out in like 5 minutes! The weather was wacky unpredictable today and we decided to eat outside... so we had a bit of rain. But it was actually so fun to eat in the rain! Definitely memorable. Do yourself a favor.... GET THE CALAMARI !! so so good. 👏 We also ordered the chicken pesto pizza and the Seafood Risotto. Both were so yummy. Would definitely come back.

Excellent service with attentive staff. Wondering between a Nebbiolo and Chianti, staff volunteered a tasting of both to determine. Homemade pasta was delicious. I ordered the sea bass which was a mistake on my part. It was previously frozen, what did I expect. The octopus was grilled to perfection, almost transporting me back to my favorite restaurant in Florence. Modern, clean ambience. Great dining experience. Dinner menu served during lunch, which was nice.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here tonight and it was our first time dining here. Wes was our server and he was absolutely incredible. He was very attentive and had great customer service. We started with the cheese board and it was so yummy. I had the chicken parm for my entree and my husband chose the lobster linguine, both of our meals were SO good. Full of flavor and very tasty. The manager was also walking around checking in on guests which was very nice. The bartenders are also great. Both of our cocktails were wonderful. We finished off with the crème brûlée which was a tasty choice. We will definitely return. Thanks again Wes for the great service!

In Scottsdale- this should be on your trail!! One note when finding the location make sure to look up and right as you pull in and you’ll see the sign! It may seem simple but in a crowded fanfare shopping area it may be a little obscure when you’re close to it. Happy hour is the ticket here. Make reservations and don’t delay! The menu is truly basic Italian food ingredients with great flavor. Not overly complex or “heavy”. Outdoor patio is available and of course you can’t beat Arizona spring time weather. Unless it’s cold and snowing.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this establishment. I’m visiting from out of town and decided to stop and it blew me away. Ordered the pizza for an appetizer and it came out piping hot with the perfect crust. The house salad was simple but just as great the fresh black pepper and croutons put this over the top. Entrées we ordered the fettuccine & rigatoni now the fettuccine is no ordinary dish. The lemon and fresh sauce pair nicely together. I wish the portion was a bit bigger but overall no complaints! The rigatoni was the real star of the show here. I would absolutely fly back here specifically for this dish. I hope the locals know what a true gem this place is. The staff were all amazing and ambience was dim lighting but great vibes.

They were quite busy and it took a while before our order was taken but our waiter was very accomodating and funny which made our stay better. The food was great!

The day I visited was understaffed. However, the only staff member did his very best to serve. Their food was delicious. I will be there again.

I haven’t been to Pubblico in a minute and it was my first time at this location. I really like the vibe and decor. We split a pepperoni pizza and a sausage & mushroom pizza. Both were really good and plenty for our group, four adults, a toddler and an 8 month old.

I recently dined at Pubblico Italian Eatery for the second time during my vacation in Arizona, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The food was outstanding, with the Margherita pizza, chicken fettuccini, and seafood fettuccini standing out as particularly delicious. To cap off a fantastic meal, I indulged in the Creme Brûlée, which was the perfect dessert. Additionally, our waitress Vanessa was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for amazing food and great service!

Incredible experience!! Angel was fantastic and had us laughing! Food was wonderful as well, could not stop dipping bread in the muscle sauce. I also got clam linguini and wine, delicious! And my first ever Espresso Martini. 10/10 recommend!

Our first time visiting and the food was so good! You can tell how fresh the ingredients were in each dish. I would come back for the meatballs again, they were so tasty!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pubblico, and I must say, it was an extraordinary Italian culinary experience. From the moment I stepped through the doors, the restaurant's inviting ambiance and warm Italian charm set the stage for an unforgettable evening. The menu at Pubblico is a testament to the art of Italian cuisine, with a wide array of options that cater to all tastes. The selection of antipasti is a delightful journey through flavors and textures. I couldn't resist the burrata, which was incredibly creamy and paired beautifully with fresh tomatoes and basil. For the main course, I had the classic lasagna, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The layers of pasta, rich meat sauce, and perfectly melted cheese made for a comforting and indulgent dish. The attention to detail in every bite was evident. The wine list was extensive, offering an impressive selection of Italian wines that complemented the meal perfectly. The attentive and knowledgeable staff were more than happy to help me choose the ideal wine to enhance my dining experience. Pubblico's desserts were the perfect ending to this culinary journey. The tiramisu was a heavenly combination of mascarpone and espresso-soaked ladyfingers, leaving a lingering sweetness on my palate. In addition to the exquisite food, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive and genuinely passionate about ensuring guests had a memorable time. Overall, Pubblico is a hidden gem for Italian cuisine. It's a place where tradition and innovation come together to create a dining experience that will transport you to the heart of Italy. If you're looking for an authentic and exceptional Italian meal, Pubblico is the place to go. Buon appetito!

Public Italian Eatery might be the perfect hole in the wall Italian restaurant. My girlfriend and I came here after a run for a quick dinner and we couldn’t be happier. Our server, Ramon, did a fantastic job!! Thank you again Ramon. We had a glass of wine with some chicken soup and some pepperoni pizza. The food was delicious. This is the kind of place you can dress up for or come in casual, which I love. Did I mention that every bottle of wine is only $20 on Wednesdays??? Cmon in to Pubblico, I’m sure you’ll love it.

What an amazing experience. The food was phenomenal and the service was even better. Our steak was initially undercooked, but they took it back and made it all over. We insisted that we didn’t want anything for the troubles but they gave us free dessert and would not allow us to refuse. My only problem is that I live an hour away and can’t come every weekend. Taylor was amazing. He made our dinner pleasantly memorable. The manager, Jose, was outstanding patron.

Pubblico is our go-to for the best in Italian dishes Scottsdale and a super cool vibe.

Great happy hour and service by Angel. Meatballs and polenta, mussels and calamari were delicious and plentiful portions. Thank you so very much. I have heard so much about you from the industry and glad you have a spot in Scottsdale.

Super tasty food, best cocktail of my life, and kindest humans as staff. We will for sure be back!

I've seen this place for years but never tried it until this particular happy hour with girlfriends. The food was really good and the happy hour prices were even better.

Mother's Day brunch w Mom & Grandma. Complimentary mimosas for all the mom's 👍

We were looking for a good Italian restaurant for our last night in town, and boy did we find it. Pubblico Italian Eatery has good reviews and they are all very deserving. The atmosphere is perfect, the staff was friendly, the service was fast, and most importantly, the food was phenomenal. If you're looking for a great Italian restaurant, or even if you're not, stop in and have a bite, you won't regret it.

Salads are very good. Fresh and quality lettuce. But come for the pasta. Chicken fettuccine was outstanding. One of the best I've ever had. Not heavy and a touch of lemon bring out the flavors. The pasta was fresh and perfect. The chicken was cooked just right, tender and tasty.

We had a terrific server named Wes. He is so friendly and got all of our orders correct. All four of us enjoyed our dishes. They have an outdoor patio also but we ate indoors. I have had their pizza, salads, panini and pasta on different occasions and all were very good. A great place to go for lunch or dinner!

I normally take pictures, but not this time. Wish I had. The pizza was yummy, and mussels&clams were equally delicious. Happy hour process were a great time to try. I could go back. The service was very nice, I didn't caught her name.

A perfect blend of formal yet casual Italian for any and all occasions! From the moment you walk in you are greeted with smiles and warmth from the hostess. That same vibe remains as you are greeted at your table by the waiter. Waiters, btw, whom are all pretty funny and engaging. It's almost as though they enjoy their jobs?! (something that seems rare in the service industry lately) All kidding aside, that truth says a lot about the ownership and management. Could not recommend Pubblico enough! p.s. the Christmas vibes this time of year make it even better so get there before its too late

Amazing food! Best chicken parm outside of Chicago! The pizza dough gotta go to Italy to find anything close to compare to. Wes our server was phenomenal thank you Wes. Pubblico give him a raise please! Can't wait to come back!

We recently partnered with Pubblico for the 2025 Phoenix Regional Duplicate Bridge Tournament, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! They generously donated a $50 gift card for our raffle, and the winner, Christina Hess, was absolutely blown away by her visit. She dined at Pubblico the very next day and couldn't stop raving about the food—especially the spaghetti and meatballs, which she said were the best she’s ever had! Beyond the amazing food, Christina felt so welcomed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. It truly turned a simple raffle prize into a special memory, and added a personal, joyful touch to our event, which hosted nearly 600 players. Huge thanks to Pubblico for being such a thoughtful and community-minded local business. We’re so grateful—and we’ll definitely be back!

Place was recommended by a friend and did not disappoint! Our server and the entire service team were wonderful - friendly, good recommendations, attentive and quick! We sat outside on the nicely covered patio which was perfect. The food was delicious! We tried a happy hour app, 2 different salads, 4 different entrees, and 3 desserts amongst our group. Lots of sharing and all were delicious! We highly recommend and will return on next trip to the area!

Pubblico Italian Eatery is a great choice when you’re craving quality pasta in a relaxed setting. The pasta tastes freshly made, with sauces that are rich and well balanced without being overly heavy. Each dish feels thoughtfully prepared, and the flavors are classic yet refined. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. The service is friendly and attentive, and the overall experience feels consistently well done. It’s a dependable local spot for Italian food that truly satisfies.

We were at the McCormick Stillman RR Park for the day and saw this place. So we decided to check it out it was 10 of us mind you. So very glad we did. They were so very accommodating and kind. Wes our server was so incredibly nice. He explained everything and was on top of it. All the staff was!! From the host, to the busser to the food runner etc. Everyone was extraordinary. Food was outstanding. Pizza was on point, we ordered 3 different ones, pasta is made in house and it shows, mussels were delicious and the sauce was stellar. Calamari was my grandkids favorite! We tried the meatballs which were served over polenta.🙌🏻Salads were bomb, portions are generous and of course we had dessert. All were outstanding. Thank you Wes and staff. We will be visiting soon!! My family was so happy to have dined with you .

The place was super busy but has good vibe. We ordered grilled salmon and tried old fashion drink . Both were amazingly prepared by chef . Our server Amber was super friendly, she really tried us make comfortable in the busy environment. She gave us dessert on the house because we had to wait for a long time.. I appreciate her gesture on it , she dint have to do it but her kind gesture made our day 🥰.

Things I loved: the pizza, tiramisu, and sangria. Things I don’t recommend: Grilled octopus; very chewy and overpriced for the portion. I’ve had great octopus at other places but wasn’t a huge fan here. Calamari as well; super chewy and lacking flavor. So basically go for the italian but nothing else. The service was also extremely slow. Server was nice but only checked on us once every 20 minutes. Ended up staying 30 minutes longer than normal due to this but the food came out rather fast. The music was also great!

Oh my.. So good. Drinks were exceptional, food was good. Service was spot on. We got t strawberry salad and pesto pizza, and rigatoni. Finished off with tirimasu, yum!

Very good wines by the glass and a decent selection. Food is just ok- there is much better Italian food in the area.

We ordered a margherita pizza, clam linguine, chicken parm, and carbonara. The pizza and linguine were delicious. The chicken parm and carbonara didn’t have much flavor. The temperature in the restaurant was extremely warm we were sweating just sitting there. Not sure if their AC didn’t work or what was going on but it wasn’t enjoyable. They also have a bar with a TV and people were screaming at the hockey game so that was not enjoyable either. Service was okay she wasn’t overly friendly but she looked overworked. We were visiting Scottsdale but can’t say I would recommend this place to others with all the other Italian restaurants around.

It’s the sewer smell for me when you walk in 🤢 I guess you don’t notice after sitting in there for awhile but no for me. The pizza is good! I had the steak entree for restaurant week and it was mediocre and a little more red than I expected. The brussel sprouts could have been cooked a little longer to soften them up. The bartender is a nice guy and the HH drinks are reasonably priced.

We were very excited to try this restaurant.When we arrived on Saturday at 6:20 PM, there was a healthy crowd sitting outside, but the inside was semi full. It was nice to see that people were there to fill the seats.. We were brought to the table and water was brought out in a timely fashion. We were greeted by our server who took our drink orders. Those came out within about five minutes or so. After that, we proceeded to give our orders. We ordered two appetizers and then three entrées all at once and he specifically said he would give us time in between the appetizers and the entrée to enjoy. He was kind to share his favorites and seemed very personable. Unfortunately, that's when things went south. We waited 30 minutes and we had not seen our server to check in on us nor have we even received our appetizers. No one came to check in to inform us that things were delayed, and no one even offered bread or anything else to make up for the fact that we have been sitting there for quite some time.' I also noticed the table next to us had been seated after us, had received their drinks and already had received their appetizers. We asked for our server and he told us that they were short staffed so even the manager was running tables and that's why there was such a delay, but he was apologetic and said that the food would come out warm and he was going to check on that immediately. About five minutes later, our appetizers arrived. They were enjoyable. We got the brussell sprouts, as well as the mozzarella sticks. In addition, my husband ordered a second cocktail since we had been waiting so long he had already finished the first one. That also took about 10 minutes to come out. We were about 3/4 of the way done our appetizers and now our entrées came out. My husband enjoyed his chicken Parm and they had substituted the regular pasta for the rigatoni with Bolognese so he thought that was delicious. I ordered the spinach and cheese ravioli, which was overall good. My son ordered the margarita pizza which was fine as well. I enjoyed that as well. We did notify the server that it was not appropriate that we had to wait so long for our food and that he did not check in on us one time at all. We even asked him for crushed red pepper and he did not bring any out so we asked one of the bus boys who eventually brought it out as quickly as we had asked. When we finally notified the server that the only time we saw him was when we had complained, he was very apologetic, but also kept saying that they unfortunately were short staffed and the manager was even working the floor and that someone called out sick and they wouldn't want us to all get sick as patrons, etc. I can appreciate the apologies of course and I know that it was not a comfortable situation for him to have to apologize. It's not his fault that someone called out. I then offered a suggestion that his manager should be prepared for these kinds of scenarios, which I'm sure will happen again as people genuinely get sick. But at least checking in on your table or maybe even offering some bread while we wait would be a good solution. We advised that we would've been perfectly fine waiting as long as needed had we just been updated from time to time and not made to feel like we were just sitting there with no one paying attention. When we spoke to him, it almost felt like he was taking it personally, but also trying to apologize. It was an awkward situation all around. He said he was taking some off of the bill, which, of course made us feel even worse because we would never have tried to get out of a full check. We are fully aware that the servers work very hard, but I do feel that management should be fully prepared for situations like this. We are a very accommodating and understanding family. But it's also not appropriate for us to have to wait with no one checking in. The food was good, but sadly, I'm not sure that we'll be going back again.

Both times we were there the place smells like sewer gas. The bathrooms have a urinal and that is what it smells like inside. Wish they could fix. Love the place otherwise.

Went on 12/27/24 with another couple. Friends made a reservation and we arrived and our friends had already been seated. No one addressed us at the hostess table so we looked around, found our friends sat down and waited about 10 minutes before server came to ask for drinks to which we had 1 refill the entire dinner and had to flag down our server for and asked another person filling water if we could get water since we couldn’t get refills on our other drinks. I ordered the salmon it came out raw in the middle. I sat waiting for our server to come check in with us after meals were brought to inform her but she never came by had to flag her down again and by this time, mostly everyone in my group was eating since I did t want their meals to get cold. After it was shown to her I waited another 15 to 20 minutes for it to come out and then ended up boxing it up because my party was done eating. Nothing more said by the server. Just a bad experience overall and the food was not worth the $$ nor was the service.

They charge me $14.40 for that quarter of a piece of cake in a cold Pizza.Really?What kind of business are you running?You should just lock your door.

I ordered takeout and got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. When I opened the container at home, I was disappointed to see that the chicken didn’t look seared it looked more like plain, frozen chicken. As I started eating, I even found a piece of hair in the dish. I’m really disappointed because I usually love Pubblico, but this experience was very upsetting. I have a picture of my food that I uploaded on the photos section.
