Rigatony's in Chandler. The antipasto salad and dressing is killer, the mozzarella pull aparts are a great appetizer, and the baked rigatoni with sausage for an entree. A bottle of the house Chianti and your set.
The only thing that's bad in the lack of parking. Also call ahead for a rez.
and this shows the sad state of italian food in phoenix..........
although nothing fancy I like cucina tagliani and i've heard of a couple good places in scottsdale, although I haven't made it there yet
i like macaroni, bucca & carrabas (hate olive garden) for various reasons, the fact remains these places don't operate in areas that have good italian restaurants
you could walk into any place in little italy, south philly or north beach and wipe any of those places out of the water

Right on!! Bucca is anything BUT Italian... It's mass-produced Americanized Italian at best...
As a full-blooded NY Italian, I find it very difficult to find true, authentic Italian food here in the Valley. However, I have found a few spots that come very close and provide a great environment! Places like Sassi, Veneto Trattoria, Tutti Santi... And for lunch, Meatballz rules - Bobby from Jersey is friggin AWESOME!
Thank GOD someone has something to say other than chain restaurants. Its not unheard of, certianly, but almost as a rule if a restaurant has had the furtune to go national, thaey have most asuredly lost the authenticity factor. Its just too hard to keep it up in a mass produced situation.
Look up a place called Casa Mia in Scottsdale almost to Fountain Hills. Excellent grub. Run by Italians. Worth the drive, I promise. Best Italian food in Arizona.

Excellent call Mulli! Went there 2 weeks ago and LOVED it! They actually make their pasta fresh each day.
Another place is LeCabaffi over on Mountain View and Hayden in Scottsdale. Great place!
