“ This was our first time trying Uncle Sal's. It was awesome! Great food, great service, comfortable atmosphere! We had the lasagna and the pasta with meatballs. The portion sizes are large and we had enough left over for another meal! Give them a try! You won't be disappointed. We're going back! ”
“ Had a great meal at Uncle Sal's! I ordered the lobster pasta with a side salad, and both were delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly, with plenty of lobster and a flavorful sauce. The salad was fresh and a nice complement to the meal. Our server was attentive and on top of everything, making sure we had what we needed without ever feeling rushed. Overall, great food and great service--I'd definitely come back! ”
“ Everything is yummy, lunch and dinner Faves are the eggplant and the seafood. Gr8 hamburgers, pizza and lasagna. Nice bar selection. ”
“ What can I say, it was just perfect! As a NYer it's not easy to find a good Italian restaurant, it is a gem. I would highly recommend!!!! It's got a great vibe, really nice bar seating and tables that wrap around the bar too! The restaurant area is also nicely decorated and set up. (As a NY'er also it's great not to see all the corny wall art, they did it perfect!) We sat outside they have shade and sun outside seating, which is great out here. Staff was all fantastic, my gf got a cocktail that she said was made perfect. She got Veal Parmigiana, I got the eggplant Rollatini had salad (on chilled plates) and great bread too! The food was amazing, but that sauce . . . so good, I can't say enough about it. Hearty not to heavy or light, just perfect ”
“ Uncle Sal's is a fantastic neighborhood restaurant with a classic touch, starting with a warm welcome of water and garlic bread (I loved the old-school vibe). The red sauce for the zuppa di pesce was flavorful, though a bit heavy. The calamari appetizer was also tasty. They serve short ribs with pasta here, which is a great option. Plus, they have an excellent wine selection by the glass. The food is delicious, and the pizza slices are huge! They even offer a build-your-own slice option. The service here is excellent - the staff is very friendly and attentive. ”
“ First time here to celebrate my wedding anniversary. Uncle Sal's has ample seating both inside and outside with a dedicated bar area that has TVs with sports shows playing. It wasn't overly loud - could hold a conversation relatively well. Delicious fresh garlic bread is delivered to your table upon seating. Wait staff was attentive and bussers are constantly floating, clearing tables and refreshing water etc. Entrees come with a choice of soup or salad. We both chose the house salad. My husband ordered the lobster ravioli which came topped with baby shrimp. I had a taste and it was great! I ordered the Shrimp & Scallops Antoinette and it was wonderful. Just the right amount of everything! The scallops and shrimp were cooked to perfection. We were pleasantly satisfied and did not order dessert this time but we will be back. Awesome to find a "new" Italian place with stellar food and service! ”
“ I have heard about this place from numerous people. Love that it has been In Scottsdale for almost 40 years. We went for my mother's birthday because we wanted good food and didn't want to get super fancy. The food was good. Great value for a lot of food. Garlic bread was delicious. Caesar was just ok. Scampi, chicken parm and lasagna was what we all ordered and it was good. The tiramisu was a stand out and the chocolate chip cannoli also a must order. Great server. I would definitely go back. Also, the bar looked interesting. It was circular and had a lot of TVs. Didn't go in there this time but could be a fun spot to watch a game with good eats. ”
“ I don't really have a review but you must check out this thread on Threads. The comments :-). The restaurant ought to respond IMHO. https://www.threads.net/@lorinlavelle/post/DDmsytjPayW?xmt=AQGz93hlS1F_3-PFOGKdnuoFiFQjVte6wHcVZc7X7utRLA ”
“ I came here for my birthday and it was so nice! Everything from the food to the service to the ambiance was perfection! I had the best ravioli I have ever eaten in my life! I'm not crazy for tiramisu but this one was delicious. Love this place and have been coming for years! ”
“ I've been coming here a few years. Great parking and handicap spots close. Service is always top notch. I had the cream of mushroom soup. Eggplant parm with meat sauce and that delicious garlic bread. I also love the shot rib here with pasta. ”
