Finally, a good rival to Ray’s Pizza. I wasn’t expecting much, due to my past experiences with Italian-type food in Scottsdale; but DeFalco’s really came through.
While the pizza isn’t exactly like Ray’s, it’s close enough for me to compare the two. The type of pizza is exactly the same, the size is very similar, and the toppings amount is close. The one major thing that is different is the amount of cheese. Ray’s puts about 25% more cheese on their pizza, so the cheese pull is much more satisfying.
One thing I really appreciated about this pizza was how crispy and balanced everything was; like they really care about what they are making for each customer.
I also tried the stuffed shells, which look as good as they taste. I have no complaints or critiques on that dish.
I will definitely be returning, and I may even purchase some of the ingredients that they store in their readily-accesible public refrigerators.

Nestled in an unassuming exterior, this Italian eatery might not catch your eye at first glance, but stepping inside reveals a delightful surprise. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a notable presence of homemade dishes that reflect a genuine passion for Italian cuisine. The staff, a friendly mix of locals—some of whom I believe are Italian—create a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
I decided to try the fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken, and I was pleased with the dish overall. The pasta was well-prepared, infused with a medley of spices that elevated its flavor profile. The grilled chicken, while tasty, was slightly on the dry side, albeit packed with spices that complemented the dish nicely. The garlic bread served alongside was a bit dry as well, but its flavor was quite enjoyable. For the fettuccine Alfredo, I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5 for flavor—though I do recommend upgrading the chicken quality for a better experience.
Next, I sampled a Caprese sandwich. While the bread didn’t quite suit my taste, the combination of fresh cheese, ripe tomatoes, and tangy balsamic vinegar was delicious, earning it a respectable 3 out of 5.
To accompany my meal, I ordered a glass of wine and a fountain drink (Dr Pepper). Unfortunately, the wine, though fragrant, fell short in taste, suggesting it was a budget option. The cleanliness of the utensils left something to be desired, possibly due to steam stains, but this didn’t detract too much from the overall experience.
In summary, this restaurant is a fantastic choice for a quick bite or a satisfying dinner that delivers authenticity in flavors typical of a genuine Italian spot. While there are areas for improvement—such as the quality of the chicken and the cleanliness of utensils—the overall experience is quite positive, making it a place worth visiting when you’re in the mood for hearty Italian fare.

I came to this little gem and let me tell you the food is amazing. The set up is small, seating is horrible, and the deli style line I’m not a fan of . It was super busy and no seats available inside so had to sit outside in the summer heat and the misters didn’t work so those are the negatives. I had the veggie lasagna and the flavor was great. I got the full portion size. I also had a side of the cheese and tomatoes which are my favorite. The chicken pesto monthly sandwich was soooooo good. I will definitely go back despite the negatives because it is worth it but it is pricey. For three to eat it was 80.00

Visiting my uncle and he suggested we go here for lunch. They do get very busy so plan accordingly but you’ll want to wait in line because this is some good eating. You’ll also find Triple D has visited this establishment as well with the picture of Guy on the right side as you walk in. As we waited they offered us a taste of their Italian beef. OMG yum! I had the Chicken Pesto Sandwich, Macaroni and cheese, a lemon mascarpone cake and an Amaretto Cremosa (Italian soda with cream). All were fantastic. Friendly service. Just sad they were out of the White Truffle Cheese Steak Sandwich that they had on special and the fact that I don’t stay nearby so this experience will just have to live in my dreams until we meet again.

This place has certainly evolved over the last few years. Good quality food and friendly staff, portions are huge and I like the vibes there. Nice place for lunch or dinner but often crowded so be prepared to wait or having trouble finding a seat

I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich they were offering as a special and it was amazing! It was a good size sandwich and so flavorful. I also had a salad and a dessert, both were good. It’s a cool little spot inside. If I’m on this side of town again I’ll make sure to go!

DeFalco’s was one of the first restaurants to make it to my “try when I move to Phoenix” list, and it did not disappoint. The only reason we haven’t gone sooner is because we try not to eat out or order dishes that we feel we can make at home. But after months of beating around the bush, we came here on a random Saturday afternoon to finally try it.
Parking was easy and the restaurant itself is easy to find. When we walked in there was about a 5-10 minute long long, but it moved quickly and gave me enough time to look at their expansive menu. We opted for the fettuccine with marinara + meatball, as well as their chicken fettuccine alfredo.
The marinara sauce was very nicely seasoned. It truly tasted like it was freshly made with fresh ingredients. My partner, who is not usually a big red sauce fan, said they would get it again, and I think that speaks volumes. You get one meatball when you add it as an option, and I while it’s a big meatball that is beautifully seasoned, I wish I got more for the price I paid. The garlic bread was also very nicely seasoned and paired well with the marinara sauce.
The alfredo was thick, creamy, and everything you’d want in an alfredo pasta. The star of this was the chicken, which was breaded and seasoned to perfection. You get a few big pieces that definitely felt more worth it compared to the meatball.
If I had to go back and do it all over again, I’d probably try two of their pastas instead of getting two fettuccine dishes (this was on me, I was given the other options but opted for this). That being said, since moving here, this was one of the few restaurants so far where my partner and I both agreed, we’d be back.

I have wanted to try for a year or so but it’s far from our home. We finally made it over and I got the Alfredo and it was ok. Hubby got a sandwich and enjoyed.
The pizza was so bad! Like so so bad. Worst we have ever had
The lemon bar was too tart. No good. The Cannoli was good.
Overall it’s far for so/so food but not disappointed in try it.

I came for food and left with a new favorite Italian spot. Everything was absolute perfection. Special shoutout to Elisa, who works there and truly elevates the whole experience. She’s friendly, attentive, and makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. You can tell she genuinely cares, and that kind of service is rare. She made the experience next-level with her kindness and great service. Defalco’s is elite. 100/10.

This spot lives rent free in my head, and honestly their chicken parm sandwich might be the best I’ve ever had. The bread was soft but strong enough for all that saucy, cheesy goodness and the chicken was seasoned perfectly. The place is busy in a fun way, service is quick and I’m already planning to try more of the menu when I come back.
