Chandler, AZ is known for its famous golf courses, more than 60 parks, and beautiful desert sunshine. And when you’re enjoying everything the area has to offer, you’ll no doubt build up quite an appetite. If your palette is craving authentic and delicious Italian food, you’re in luck, because the Italian restaurants here certainly do not disappoint.
1. The Sicilian Butcher
This venue provides the perfect blend of delicious cuisine, a relaxed atmosphere, and friendly service. Dine inside or out on the terrace as you sip on a cocktail or glass of wine while the professional chefs carefully prepare your meal. We suggest starting with the Italian Saganaki, the calamari fritti, or the mussels. For your main course, try the chicken parmigiana, the marsala, the cured meat, or Tony’s steak.
You can also build your own dish and choose from nearly a dozen different kinds of pasta, such as mafalde, rigatoni, spaghetti, fettuccine, and creste de Gallo. Then decide on one of the several housemade sauces, like arrabiatta, bolognese, or basil pesto. They are located at 3151 W. Frye Rd. Please drink responsibly and in moderation, and do not drink and drive.
2. Stone & Vine Urban
A local favorite, Stone & Vine serves up fresh, authentic Italian dishes in a contemporary setting. Stop in for brunch on Saturdays and Sundays between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. and enjoy the breakfast panini, the zucchini squash skillet, or the smoked salmon. Wash it all down with a bottomless Bloody Mary or mimosa. This also makes a great lunch or dinner destination. Munch on an appetizer to start, like bruschetta, caprese, garlic knots, or crispy ravioli.
Then dip into the rigatoni a la vodka, the lazy lasagna, the short rib, the mushroom risotto, or the piccata. They also have delicious wood-fired pizzas as well as gluten-free options. This establishment is located at 1035 W. Queen Creek Rd. #103.
3. Pesto’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar
Come here for a romantic evening with your significant other and enjoy a flight of fine Italian wines while listening to the local stylings of live jazz artists. Browse the menu for traditional Italian plates, such as baked ziti, capellini and meatballs, spinach stuffed shells, wild mushroom Sacchetti, and chicken saltimbocca.
We also suggest the build-your-own pizza option. Be sure to finish off with one of the homemade desserts, which are made fresh daily. You’ll find Pesto’s at 1960 W. Ray Rd. #4.
