I ordered the special which was scallops and shrimp in a lobster cream sauce over pappardelle pasta. It was absolutely superb. Other dishes I've had there were spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna , Bolognese to mention a few. Their wine list is very good. Nice variety to choose from. Doing lunch on the outdoor patio watching the fountain is a great way to spend an afternoon. The only thing I can say negative is the food could be served hotter and on a warm bowl or plate. Otherwise, it's wonderful and consistently good place to go.
Sophia and Lee were fantastic. We were surprised by the demeanor of Edgar who was so friendly and awesome delivering our dinner and service. He took the time to make jokes with my daughter and be very friendly. I appreciate that. I see that the hard work of employees like Esmeralda and the various bartenders makes a huge difference in the level of service we receive and the food was fantastic service was great food was fantastic thank you guys!
Their happy hour (Daily 3-7) can’t be beat! 3.50 pints of cold Peroni beer! Top that with a great selection of tasty incredible food. Their daily cocktail specials are always inventive, delicious and tough to choose from. Gage the bartender is wonderful, attentive and he really knows his drinks and comes up with interesting and unique cocktails I would’ve never thought of. Today was hot so I tried the Watermelon Sangria which was incredible! Light, tasty without being overly sweet and very refreshing. Their Daily Bar Special (food) was 3 oz each of shrimp, scallops (both in a light paprika sauce) and 3oz of Filet Mignon on a bed of lettuce that I ate as a salad, all cooked perfectly, all for 16.95! It was the perfect portion for me and allowed me to have a little of each of my favorite proteins. I walked by a gentleman who had just been served the Veal Ossobucco and it looked tender, juicy and fall off the bone delicious. We’ve eaten here a few times and have never been disappointment. I highly recommend Arrivederci, most especially their happy hour.
They have a good happy. The food on it is delicious. Also their main menu has great food too. Nice view of the fountain from their patio. Their limoncello is amazing!
Yes do come here! We came for a late lunch and were so pleased we did. We sat at the bar which was very comfortable and quiet. We ordered a bottle of red wine, we weren’t originally taken with it but with food it paired very nicely. I had the seafood risotto and my husband had the spaghetti and meatballs. My meal was incredible (I shared!) his was good but not great as the sauce was runny and chunky. We split a Caesar salad to start which was good but too lightly dressed for our tastes. Since this was our meal for the day we splurged on the bread pudding dessert and it was incredible. Truly most of the food was really very good and I would recommend it for the food alone. The service was very good. We were the only folks at the bar and our server was initially slow to get to us but then became quite attentive and was pleasant. The gentleman who delivered our food was exceptionally kind and engaging. The bathroom was clean and well stocked. Parking can be a challenge in this area as the park is where everyone who wants to walk the loop around the fountain parks. We parked on the street nearby.
My favorite food spot in fountain hills! I love going for lunch and eating while the fountain is up. The bread and dip is delicious! I always get the red Sangria and pesto Alfredo gnocchi with bacon pieces in it. I crave this almost every day.
Premier chef, Poppin out that fish in minutes and I cleared the plate, the waitress asked if I would need a box before realizing my plate was almost clean. Priced lower than it could be! We saw the fountain and sat on the patio in perfect comfort. Service was attentive to details, and the bread with olive oil pesto was a wonderful way to start the meal.
I am so happy I found this place. Definitely a must try place in fountain hills for those who are coming out of state or even from the city. I got the seafood risotto and my bf got the chicken parmigiana. Both were delicious but I will have to say the seafood risotto was amazing. They weren’t stingy with the seafood and the taste was spot on.
