Best Italian food in Scottsdale! I have been coming here for 5 years and the food and service here is phenomenal. This is a family run business, and I look forward to seeing them when I visit. The restaurant is closed on Mondays. The Martinis are lethal.

I have been coming to Casa Mia for years!!! This is hands down one of my favorite Italian spots in the valley. Worth the drive where ever you live! The family that owns and runs the restaurant is absolutely amazing! Here are just a few of my favorites: To start you must try the Burrata with Proscuitto. I also love the Bruschetta & can never go wrong with the Caesar salad! For Pastas: The Linguine & clams, Gnocchi, & Spaghetti Alla Checca (recommend getting this spicy) all three are full of flavor delicious! ** Always find out what the specials are = never cease to amaze!!

This was our first time here and the food was exceptional and service impeccable. We really enjoyed the authentic caprese as an appetizer. Imported and aged mozzarella cheese right in your own backyard with a touch of pesto on top. Yum!!! The linguine with clams with real clams and not out of a can. Careful attention is made with the Italian serving pieces, the service from Cordova and the quaint atmosphere. A great find and worth the drive if you do not live close by. Thank goodness we are closer do we will enjoy this establishment frequently. Owners are present and are very gracious. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Italy in our backyard!

Traditional flavors with modern decor. My husband and I read great reviews about this restaurant online so we were excited to try it for ourselves. I ordered the tagliatelle bolognese. It has been a few years since I have had a good bolognese so I was ecstatic from the first bite of my dish. It was very traditional in preparation and flavor. And I was happy that it wasn't too salty otherwise it would have ruined the natural taste of the pork and beef. My husband ordered an app of squid cooked in wine. It was fresh and mild. The squid was showcased beautifully without the use of batter or deep frying it. For my husband's main dish he had the Frutti de Mar with linguine. It was slightly spicy and chocked full of shrimp, mussels, clams and squid. We were stuffed at this point but we wanted to try dessert. We had expresso and a cannoli. Usually cannolis can be too sweet but this one was perfect and the addition of the crushed pistachios on top was yummy.

Went there last Wednesday for the first time. Food and waiter were very good but the bartender has to go,,,She made it seem as though she was doing us a favor by taking our drink order,,,no repore, no personality. Owners are very gracious and engaging which was a nice touch. 3 stars for food and waiter,,, 0 stars for bartender. JT

This isn't to many options around this area so it's just incredible to find real Italian food that is good enough that we would drive out of our way to get ..but don't have to...if it's not on the menu just ask for it...the made to order Alfredo sauce is something out of this world..and the chicken piccata..my favorite..though not on the menu..should be....my family and I go here once a month and never been dissapointed .family owned and the whole family works here so you know your home...

Four of us dropped in at Casa Mia on a Thursday night - no reservation required at this time of year in AZ! As usual, the service, food and wine were fantastic. My wife and I and our good friends have frequented Casa Mia about 6-8 times in the last year and the experience is always great. The Cod special was enjoyed by three of us last night and I had the Penne 85269, a superb penne with chicken and tasty red cream sauce. The atmosphere is very comfortable - this doesn't mean a dress code, it just means that we feel at home here.

We came here on a Sunday and the owner greeted us at the door. We got a table right away. We ordered the caesar salad, bruscetta , and fried calamari. The bread was good. The red wine was good. Palazzo Dr Calls.The salad was okay. We got it without the anchovies. That may have made it bland. The bruscetta was okay. The toasted bread was hard to bite and had burnt spots on it. The tomato mixturfresh but missing something so I added some balsamic vinegar to give it more flavor. The calamari was light and good. It was the homemade tiramisu and cappuccino that really made the dinner. If I go again I will skip the bruscetta and salad and order a pasta instead. I will try the homemade pumpkin pie and get another tiramisu for sure.

We were so excited to try a restaurant rated so high and of course my favorite is italian. All I can say is be careful what you order off the specials menu. I ordered the veal chop, expecting something with a sauce. It was a generous portion, a full chop, pounded and breaded. It was served with lemon, arugula and Parmesan cheese on the side.....that's it....price $45. It was bland and when I mentioned this to the wait staff they said they liked it that way, but what a disappointment for me! I learned my lesson, no ordering off the special menu and always ask about the accompanying sauce, if any. A mustard sauce would have been great. The wine was delicious, as was the garden salad. My husband liked his entree. To be fair I rated four stars but thought I should mention that you might feel like you have been robbed when you get the bill......

Went here with my wife last night. Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed the decor was inviting, the place looked very clean - very nice ambience. I was looking for spaghetti and meat balls and/or Italian sausage. However, spaghetti and meat balls was not on the menu so I was forced to step outside of my comfort zone - and I'm glad I did! I had the Salsiccia Alla Cacciatora - it was DEE-LICIOUS! The servers were attentive without being a pain. The chef periodically walked the dining area to make sure everything was OK - again, without being a pain. The only down side is the price - over a hundred bucks for the two of us! That's a lot for a cheapskate like me.

Casa Mia just can't be beat. The service was excellent. I'm not sure where they get their bread, so nice and crunchy on the outside. Two of our guests had the veal saltimbocca and I had the three cheese ravioli with peas, mushrooms and pancetta. The other guest had the beef short ribs. Everyone cleaned their plates. For dessert we had a pumpkin pie, more like a tort, with a walnut crust. 2 die 4!

Most delicious authentic Italian I've had in the US. You wouldn't leave this place unhappy. The setting is cozy and a perfect spot for VD, anniversaries, or a special date. They'll make you feel like you're in Italy.

Amazing Italian food. The best in scottsdale. Try the tortellini alla boscaiola. This is my favorite thing on the menu. They just moved into a new location the decor is modern and trendy. It's a little out of the way but worth the drive. If you're looking for amazing Italian food go here.

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
