We were seated in a comfortably large half-booth with chairs in the corner of the bar side of the restaurant. It was a little bit livelier than the main dining area, but we enjoyed it. We were served by a wonderful waiter, Oscar, who expertly delivers with a subtly fun and dry sense of humor. We had a delightful meal that included a tasty bruschetta board as an appetizer, with just the right number of servings for our group of 6. Two couples also ordered salads (Caprese and Caesar) to share, which were nicely presented on separate plates/bowls for each diner. Hearty Italian rolls also were served in a cloth covered basket, to keep warm. For entrees, two in our group had the Veal Picatta, which the said was tender and flavorful with the right amount of lemon to give it a zing. I had one of the nightly specials of Osso Bucco stuffed ravioli. It was perhaps the best ravioli I have had, other than in Rome. All pastas are freshly made daily, and that showed in all the dishes, including the Eggplant Lasagna, Spaghetti Marinara and Pappardelle Bolognese enjoyed by others in our party. The only thing we wished for was to have saved room for dessert, as they have a separate menu for those provided at the end of the meal. We saw several items described that seemed "scrumptiously delicious", for which we'll have to go back!

Great little tucked away place with great food. I got the penne vodka with shrimp (delicious!!) and my friend got the lobster ravioli (amazing, but very rich). We saw several other tables get the dumplings, and we definitely had fomo about not getting those. Next time!! The only con to the night was that they were pretty under staffed, but I heard multiple staff members say they were 'using a new system,' and that was the reason for the delay. Our server Oscar had the whole patio to himself, plus he was waiting tables inside the restaurant, and it seemed like it was too many tables for him. To be clear, he was working his butt off and it seemed pretty obvious to me that this was staffing issue, not an Oscar issue. He started the evening joking with us and tossing out wine recommendations, but by the end of the meal seemed stressed and overwhelmed by all the tables. It didn't seem fair to him. Overall, I would definitely come back, and hopefully Oscar has more help next time.

We were in the neighborhood and happen to see this establishment. We were pleasantly surprised at the upscale ambiance and delighted with the service. Our Sicilian waiter provided great suggestions, and we enjoyed sharing the lasagna and pesto linguine. The calamari was a bit chewy but not overly breaded or greasy. We will definitely visit this restaurant again!

I ordered the starter size Caesar and the short rib ravioli and it was amazing!! Perfectly filling without feeling stuffed; and the short rib was cooked to perfection. I do wish there was a bit more meat in it but great nevertheless. The starter size was big enough to be spilt between two people as well! They were able to squeeze my best friend and I last minute; so the service is 10/10 as well. Very attentive and kind staff ! I had the best time; will definitely be returning soon

I tried Pasta Brioni for the first time during Phoenix restaurant week and my experience was wonderful! Upon being seated, bread and a rosemary infused butter was brought to the table that was extremely flavorful. I had the caprese salad, penne vodka, and chocolate cake, all of which blew me away! My friend had the Caesar salad, penne vodka, and the cheesecake which she said was one of the best cheesecakes she had ever had. The service at Pasta Brioni was extremely attentive! Someone was constantly checking on our table to refill our waters, bread, and make sure everything tasted good. The servers were very friendly, walking us through the menu and suggesting wine pairings for each of our courses. I will definitely be going back to Pasta Brioni for that penne vodka!

Wow! What an excellent dining experience! We had reservations for two, and had the pleasure of being served by Mike tonight for dinner. Starting off with their orange and hazelnut old-fashioned was an experience all in itself, and worth my trip out there! For dinner I had the chicken martini, which could not have been prepared any more decadent than it was. The food tasted great, the environment here is friendly, welcoming, and classy. We somehow managed to enjoy a piece of their amazing chocolate cake for dessert, before calling it a night. I will absolutely be back to enjoy more of their famous pasta options!

We came here for the second time, and it was during rhe holidays in December. We knew it was going to be busy, and the staff did not disappoint. They were welcoming and a pleasure to chat with and go through all the options for dinner.We had 4 adults and the food was amazing on everyone's entrees. We had the chicken Parmesan, spaghetti and Alfredo, veal, and a salad. It was really great all around and we have told many friends about Pasta Brioni! Thank you!

Our second time here. My husband couldn't wait to return but it is quite a distance to drive here. My son, who came with us the first time said he thought it was the best Italian food he has had in AZ so far. The veal chop with Marsala sauce was on the list of chef's specials for the night. (It changes daily). It is a scratch kitchen here and the pasta is made in house daily. Service from Geoff was excellent and the team works smoothly to take care of all our needs. The restaurant has outdoor seating, a bar lounge area with TVs and a quieter dining room. They brought us the wrong salad first but we didn't know it. Only knew it was yummy. Refreshing and flavorful, the "Garden Salad" became the one both of are instead of the chopped, which was very good but we had just had a rich and flavorful bruschetta board.

Great service!! I've been here a few times and have had a different server each time but they've all been as equally as wonderful. The chocolate cake blew me away! Just marvelous. Now back to the pasta since this is an Italian restaurant after all... The penne vodka was out of this world. Definitely the best Italian food in town!
