We see those 4 stars Gary and we are doing a little happy dance in the kitchen! It is truly awesome to know you enjoyed your time with us at Sorrento Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria. There is nothing we love more than being the backdrop for a "casual friendly evening" filled with amazing Italian food and good vibes here in North Scottsdale.

That being said, staff is itching to know—what can we do to snag that 5th star next time? Was the wood-fired pizza just one pepperoni short of perfection? Did our pasta make you want to sing, but you were holding back? We are always aiming for that "Grandma’s kitchen" level of excellence, so we’d love to know how to make your next visit even more legendary.

Thank you so much for the support and for being part of our Sorrento family. We’re already prepping the dough and chilling the wine for your return. Next time, we’re going for the gold (or at least the 5th star)!

It is such a delight to read that you discovered us! We truly appreciate you describing Sorrento as a "rare find," as we work tirelessly to bring the heart of Sorrento Cucina Italiana to the North Scottsdale community. There is nothing quite like a slow-cooked, rich Bolognese sauce to warm the soul, and I am so glad it left such a lasting impression on you. Our chefs take great pride in that recipe, ensuring every spoonful is packed with the traditional, full-bodied flavors you would find in a true Italian kitchen.

Our Neapolitan pizza is another labor of love, from the precise hydration of the dough to the balance of fresh toppings and that signature charred, flavorful crust. Achieving that perfect harmony is an art form, and it’s wonderful to know you enjoyed it. Beyond the food, hearing that you felt the care and attention of our staff means everything to us. We believe that authentic Italian dining is built on the foundation of genuine hospitality and treating every guest like family.

We are already looking forward to your next visit! The linguine with clam sauce is a personal favorite—it's light, garlicky, and features the freshest ingredients, making it a perfect follow-up to your Bolognese experience. Thank you for choosing us as your new go-to Italian restaurant in Scottsdale, and we can’t wait to serve you again very soon!

Proper Emoto Admin, they say that silence is the ultimate sign of satisfaction, and honestly? We are blushing. To receive a five-star review without a single word is like receiving a standing ovation from a crowd that is too busy chewing our Pollo alla Sorrentoto actually cheer.

Personally, we like to think our signature wood-fired pizza simply left you speechless. There is no dictionary definition for that perfect cheese pull, so why bother trying to find the words?

Thank you for letting your stars do the talking. We’ve hung this "silent" review on our digital fridge with pride. Next time you swing by Sorrento, feel free to just give us a thumbs-up or a knowing nod—we’ll know exactly what it means. We’ll have the table ready and the Parmesan cheese on standby!

Grazie mille,

The Team at Sorrento Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

Comparing our crust to the legendary flavors of Little Italy in the 1980s Suzy is an incredible compliment that truly speaks to the heart of what we do here in North Scottsdale. It’s wonderful that you noticed the distinct difference our imported Italian flour makes. We have always believed that the foundation of an authentic Italian pizza starts with the highest quality ingredients and traditional techniques, and we refuse to take shortcuts—even down to the hand-painted Italian plates we use to serve our pies instead of standard aluminum tins.

It was a joy to read your descriptions of the braised short ribs over soft polenta and the fettuccine bolognese. Our chef, whom you correctly identified as the heart and soul of this family-owned Scottsdale restaurant, takes immense pride in ensuring every cut of meat is lean and tender and every sauce is seasoned to perfection. Hearing that he personally checked in on your table captures the exact atmosphere we strive to create: a place where you aren’t just a customer, but a guest in our home. We will certainly pass your kind words along to him; he will be thrilled to know that his dedication to the craft made such an impact on your evening.

The mention of our curated wine list and the "insanely delicious" 5 cheese white pizza is greatly appreciated. Whether you are stopping in for a quick bite or a celebratory multi-course dinner, we want every visit to feel like a trip to the old country. We are already looking forward to your return in a few days! Sitting at our bar offers a fantastic, lively perspective of the restaurant’s energy, and it is the perfect spot to explore more of those special Italian wines you mentioned. We can't wait to welcome you and your mate back to Sorrento Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria for another unforgettable night.
