Élephante Scottsdale

Love this place coffee and ricotta pancakes are amazing highly recommend for anyone who loves coffee and pancakes

My one piece of advice here is to be adventurous with your ordering - it's worth it!We had the whipped eggplant per Lily's recommendation (AMAZING server btw) and it was SO good. Light and creamy with a very subtle flavor. Looks like hummus but it's not.For entrees we ordered the aged ribeye to share and the squid ink scampi. I loved the char on the ribeye and the pasta was so flavorful, with a surprising amount of shrimp.We loved the vibe here, food and drinks were great, and service was top notch. Would definitely come back! Make sure to book a reservation ahead of time, as this place is newer and was busy on a Wednesday evening.

10000000/10 recommend if you're in the area! Me and my friends love the Santa Monica location, so we were excited to see if this one is just as great. Happy to say we all loved it just as much, if not more! If you're going for dinner, you definitely need a reservation (especially for weekends, but weekdays as well); we planned this somewhat last minute and were easily able to get a lunch reservation for a Saturday, the night before. The food was fantastic! We started with the tried and true whipped eggplant dip and decided to try the grilled shrimp as well, which were phenomenal. Some of the girls were very excited to see the Hamachi Carpaccio on the menu, so we of course had to order it and it was VERY flavors and tasty!! Loved! For mains, I got the Margherita pizza which I basically inhaled, very flavorful & nice and light. My friends shared the Soppresta pizza and everyone was raving that they loved it, especially with the honey. Along with the pizza, one got the cacio e pepe, which is always her go to when getting pasta, and she noted it was some of the best cacio e pepe she had ever tried. The rest of the group got the vodka sauce pasta, again a tried a staple that you really can't go wrong with here. Overall 11/10 for the food, truly no complaints! I do have to note, the interior design at this location is truly extraordinary, from the seating to the plants to just everything, so soooooo pretty! The vibe was great and definitely added to the experience. Also wanted to mention that the service was excellent, from the girls at the hostess stand to our waiter, everyone was super nice and outgoing!

Eddie!! Eddie!! What a guy!! My man!My husband took me here for my birthday dinner and it was incredible. The octopus salad was to die for and the pastas were delicious but the real star was the service! Our server, Eddie, was a real gem. He had personality, was attentive and even gave us a hand written list of cool places to check out while in the area. You want this guy on your service team! Would definitely come back!

Went to Elephante on a Friday night and it was packed!! You definitely have to make a reservation in advance and can't show up without one expecting to get a table. We were seated right away with our reservation. My one negative about the restaurant is that it is extremely loud. You have to really speak loud to hear able to hear the person next to. Our waitress was fantastic- she was super friendly and coursed out of dishes perfectly. We started with drinks, mezcal margaritas and espresso martinis. Drinks were good but overpriced which isn't surprising for Scottsdale. We started with the whipped eggplant to share - it was delicious!! I only wish they gave 2 pitas instead of 1 because it wasn't enough. If you want an extra pita it is $6. We shared 2 salads - the insalade mixta and Cesar. Both were great and shareable between 5 people. We then ordered 2 vodka pastas, 1 caico e Pepe, and a margarita pizza. Everything was delicious. No complaints about anything we ate. And then we finished with dessert. I definitely want to come back here again and try more of the menu. Especially brunch!

This is a very very cute place! I came here by myself after buying my husband's birthday present at barberries! I sat at the bar and I was greeted promptly. I don't know her name, but she made one of the best spicy margaritas that I have had in a long time! Kudos to the Bartender! I ordered an appetizer, but I didn't care for it too much! It just wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure it was tasty for most people! I do recommend this place and I intend on coming back and trying out some of their other food items! The ambience is really cool in the service was very good! Again, I don't know the name of the bartender, but she was fabulous! Give that girl a raise!

Service- very helpful, 10/10Food- we got brunch and lots of appies, really liked the arancini Drinks- amazing I drank 2 espresso martinis but tried all my friends drinks and everything was gas Definitely make a reservation

Look. I'm not going to tell you that the security guard came next to our table until we paid the bill, but the security guard CAME NEXT TO OUR TABLE UNTIL WE PAID THE BILL. WTH. We came here by chance. It was Sunday afternoon and we were at the mall shopping when we bumped into friends who said they'd come from elephante. We figured we would give it a try. Granted, we weren't really dressed for a night out and had a little one with us. But we also weren't wearing balaclavas and looking to case the joint. We ordered lots of food as we usually do. We like to try different things especially with it being our first time there. After we put in our order, a man dressed in a suit (looking security guard-y) came and stood behind our table against the back wall. It didn't bother me much, but he stood there the whole time and coincidentally left after the bill was paid and the check returned to our table for signature. Made me feel so icky. For that reason, I won't be back. The place is cute. The food was okay (definitely skip the pizza). But there was nothing remarkable on the menu.

My friends and I had a fantastic dinner at Elephante during a girls trip to Scottsdale last month. We were originally seated at a table near the kitchen and asked to move tables given frequent servers walking past. They kindly and swiftly obliged and sat us at a nice round table in a different area of the restaurant despite it being a busy night. The restaurant is beautiful and elevated, though it does get very loud at peak dinner hours (something to consider for anyone who is hard of hearing). The food: a fun mix of Italian and Mediterranean. For 6 of us, 2 appetizers, 2 pastas and 2 pizzas was plenty of food if everyone is willing to share! The whipped eggplant dip w fresh pita-like bread is unreal and I would recommend it to anyone! The best pasta was the pesto pasta and the ricotta pizza was delicious! All around the food did not disappoint, thought was not particularly unique compared to other Italian spots I have been to (other than the whipped eggplant). That being said, my friends and I were not super adventurous with ordering! All around I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a group dinner and/or more intimate date night.

10/10 This place was worth the wait. Reservations were 6 weeks out when I booked, but the food was delicious. We had the pork, steak and a pasta dish, along with the sides. Whipped Eggplant appetizer was super yummy and the lemon meringue dessert was the perfect ending. The drinks were good and strong. Especially the smoked old fashion . Service was EXCELLENT! Jacob Ross did amazing as our server at the restaurant and the manager Steven was extremely kind and helpful with some concerns we had at Bar Bambino next door. FYI: the restaurant is RIGHT by valet. There's no signage, so we did get lost and walked a long way around the building before we found the entrance.
