Arrivederci

ZowieShebang Boom Quit watching thefireworks, put down your phone, drive there, eat almost anything! I had the lobster ravioli special and it was hard to find the ravioli hidden under all the lobster. There was absolutely no way I could eat the whole thing but I did anyway . As it was a birthday, they also brought us a lemon Chella and a brownie type tart that was so decadent you got pimples looking at it.Do yourself a favor and go there tonight.!

We've been here before but it has been some time so it was nice to come back again. We arrived just before they opened so the door wasn't open yet but would be opened shortly. We didn't need reservations since we were the first in the door. We were greeted with a smile and seated promptly. It's nice that there's plenty of parking right outside their front door. We've not been here when it is crazy busy so we don't know if parking gets tight later in the evening.Our drink orders were taken after a little time to review the drink menu. We were given sufficient time to review the menu so we could place our orders in a timely manner. Fresh hot bread and olive oil with balsamic vinegar were brought out for us to enjoy while we waited for our entrees. We were there with friends and noted friendly conversations taking place with local regulars and the bar and serving staff. Everyone looked happy and content with their food and drink so we were glad that our friends also seemed happy with their food and drinks too.We got chicken parmesan and cannelloni which were very tasty. The chicken was a little dry but lots of sauce made up for that. One other in our party got linguine vongole which looked like a very full plate of pasta filled with shellfish. I think they were content. It was more than they could finish at dinner so they took their leftovers to go.The staff were all quite friendly as they had been in the past. It is a smaller restaurant so if you plan to go, know that it could get filled up during the dinner rush fairly quickly and they only take reservations for parties over 5. The prices are fairly reasonable as their dishes aren't overly expensive but it's nice to support and eat at a non chain restaurant for a change. We'd recommend giving Arrivederci a visit!

Trattoria Arrivederci is a small, intimate spot serving up various Italian dishes. It's so intimate that it can feel cramped. It's definitely one of the extreme rare places where they put a table all the way in the corner where the corner seat is trapped by the other seats of the table. One of my cronies pointed out that it feels like this used to be a diner that is now repurposed into a different genre of restaurant. Their dishes range from $18-$30. The dishes aren't that filling despite their somewhat high prices so you're really here for the atmosphere and excellent service.

Service was excellent, water levels never got to the half empty point. And was checked on regularly by all the staff. Ambiance was very romantic and quaint. Bread and pesto were outstanding. For the appetizer, we had the special of rice balls on an incredible marinara sauce. They were great. Wife had the short rib on a bed of fettuccine. She closed her eyes with every bite and moaned. Felt a little inadequate until she gave me a taste and then I understood her reaction. MAGNIFICENT!!!! I had the bolognese on fettuccine, Was very good and satisfying. HIGHLY recommend this place. A special thank you to Tammy for the recommendations and kindness

We had a great experience here while celebrating our anniversary. My partner surprised me and chose this spot since we used to frequent it years ago in Fountain Hills. Bread with balsamic and olive oil for dipping is served first. It is an intimate restaurant and would be great for a date night. The specials today were lasagna and lobster ravioli and one more dish I can't recall. I ordered the lasagna and my partner ordered the carne de cannoli (essentially lasagna but enchilada style). The sauces on both was a vodka cream sauce and it was delicious! My lasagna portion was massive -- I could only eat about 1/4 of it. This place would have received 5 stars if not for my salad. We both ordered the salad with mixed greens and balsamic vinaigrette and most of my salad mix was too wilted for my taste. Excellent service from our kind server.Also super sad: I left my leftovers. I was looking forward to that lasagna for later -- we will be back!

We stumbled upon this restaurant due to a Groupon deal and we will definitely be back! There's plenty of parking and the restaurant was easy to find. The dimmed lights inside created an intimate atmosphere. Our server was so sweet and gave us a whole run down of the menu. The table bread was delicious and light, perfect to hold you over for the main course. I had the fish of the day and it was okay. I was slightly disappointed over the sauce but the fish tasted fresh and it was cooked perfect. The veggie and rice were good too. I was so stuffed and wanted dessert but I'll have to get that next time. I will definitely be back to taste the raviolis!!

Arrivederci is our neighborhood restaurant. How many people can say a beautiful Italian restaurant in their neighborhood spot?! We love stopping in during the week to grab a relaxing glass of wine or if luck has it a piece of lasagna! It is a great menu with not a hefty price tag on the meals. I mentioned the lasagna which is one of the most popular and best dishes on the menu. They make it on Sunday night and you can get a piece until it is gone! I recommend coming early in the week to not miss out! It is also enough for 3 meals so take it home and have it for lunch and another dinner! Wine selection and tap beer selection nice and the service is good. Max, the owner, is there almost every night checking in on you to see if you are getting what you want. Eat and drink local. Got to Arrivederci!

I like to come here for a nice but not wildly expensive weeknight dinner. Lasagna is often a special and always worth ordering, especially if you like leftovers. It's quite the serving and absolutely delicious. This kitchen really knows how to do things with tomatoes. They have a nice wine list (at least, in my amateur opinion-- all I need is a nice glass of red with my pasta). Service is reliable, and I've never experienced a wait or needed a reservation. The vibe is a very classic Italian restaurant, cozy but still a little classy. It's a comfortable place for comfort food.

I was very underwhelmed by the prices here. I was charged $37 for a kid pasta, kid drink and dessert for my daughter. This was before leaving a tip. Other Italian restaurants in Ahwatukee are much more reasonable.

Order from here regularly.. food tastes made from scratch. They must not use a bunch of gross preservatives because you won't feel or look pregnant after eating here.
