Here are 10 Italian restaurants in Arizona to try, as featured in the latest issue of Experience AZ magazine.

Tutti Santi Ristorante by Nina

Things to know: This opulent example of Italian food at its finest has won itself local, national, and even international fame. The head chef, Nina Vincent, is so skilled in her creations, that you will hear locals say that “food turns holy in Nina’s hands.” Every night, in addition to the regular menu, the chef showcases four specials that are available for purchase. The menu includes hot and cold appetizers, pasta dishes (including gluten-free options), meats, fish, and desserts.

Don’t miss: Customers rave about the veal cannelloni, which consists of baked homemade cannelloni pasta filled with ground veal, cheese, and vegetables. Don’t forget to try the Caprese salad; which, if you’re not a fan of tomatoes, they will gladly substitute with roasted red peppers upon request. Every Thursday, the specials include a mouthwatering veal Osso Buco, and every Friday, the freshest of Italian branzino fish. And finally, if you’re looking for a tiramisu to match anything you’ve had in Italy, this is the place to be. Don’t forget to make a reservation first: the place is very popular and often crowded.
