About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
When we look back at our journey, we see a story woven from hard work, persistence, and passion. A story rooted in family tradition, carried across an ocean, and shared at the dinner table, one plate at a time. Our founders, Federico Venturini and Chef Viola Tagliaferri, were born and raised in Italy. They grew up surrounded by the aromas of slow-simmered sauces, freshly baked bread, and the unmistakable warmth of true Italian hospitality. Cooking was never just about food, it was about gathering, memory, and love.
Their dedication to authenticity led to national recognition. In 2021, they were awarded Best Authentic Italian Restaurant in Arizona on the television program Little Big Italy.
Our goal is to share who we are.
To serve food that tastes like home.
To pour wine as if pouring for old friends.
At Pizzicata, we hope you enjoy our pizza, our pastas, our family recipes and our table.
But even more, we hope you feel at home. Because when you are here, you are part of our family.

    I booked a reservation for my son’s Birthday. We had a party of 14, and they accommodated us perfectly! Everyone was so very attentive to our needs. We were very much taken care of with very respectful, and attentive staff members. We especially enjoyed having Giulio making sure all of our needs were met. We will definitely be back. Kudos to your amazing staff!!

    I was there for the Linguine and Pesto cooking class (Linguine al Pesto Genovese). It was such a great dish to make! Viola is such a wonderful teacher. The recipe was easy to follow and we had such a fun time learning how to make it. Will definitely attend more classes.

    We sat on the patio for happy hour since the weather was nice. We started by being the only ones there but was very nice! The service was excellent and answered any questions we had. Not everything we ordered was happy hour but didn’t matter, so many menu choices on regular menu it was hard to not order from both menus! Food and drinks were delicious and will be going back!
    Pizzicata-GlendaleResponded on 25 September 2026
    So glad the patio was the perfect happy hour spot ❤️ With so many choices, ordering from both menus is always the right call! Grazie, and see you back at the table soon.

    This is a gem. The food is outstanding, the service is top notch. So many dishes to try, so little time! It's a place to keep coming back to so that you can try something new. If you haven't had a Pinza - oh my, you must. They are sooo delicious. Do suggest reservations for anything after 6:30p. It's really crowded then.
    Pizzicata-GlendaleResponded on 17 September 2026
    Being called a gem means everything to us ❤️ So glad the pinsa won you over — and thank you for the tip on reservations, that's a helpful one! Grazie, and see you back at the table soon.
