About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for happy hour
  • Great for outdoor dining
SFIZIO is our family’s expression of Italian comfort, done the modern way. Led by Chef Rocco Pezzano and rooted in the traditions of Calabria, our kitchen centers on fresh pasta made in-house, hand-stretched pizza, Italian wine, and dishes prepared from scratch with care and restraint.

We believe the best Italian cooking doesn’t need much explaining. Good ingredients, time-honored technique, and thoughtful execution do the work. The room follows the same philosophy: warm, polished, and relaxed enough for a weeknight dinner, a bottle of wine with friends, or a long meal that turns into the evening.

Located in North Phoenix near Desert Ridge, SFIZIO is a neighborhood Italian kitchen built around food, family, and time spent together.

    Pasta was amazing a 10 for sure The only thing I would say could be better was the chicken in the chicken piccata was tough and dense (maybe over cooked) Otherwise amazing dinner can’t wait to go back!

    We had the Fritto Misto appetizer and it was enough for the four of us to share. I had the lasagne and it was great. I took some home. My wife had the chicken paccata, but substituted risotto for her pasta and they were very accommodating. Our friends ordered the Americana pizza and were very pleased. They also had enough to take some home. We finished by sharing a Tiramisu dessert. Marco is doing a great job! Grazie!

    This was our first time at the restaurant and Service and food were both very good. But, I doubt I will return on a weekend, as the noise level was atrocious. We could not even hear each other talking across a table for two because of how loud the noise and volume of people‘s voices were. People were talking louder because they couldn’t hear each other, and it just kept getting louder and louder. And the tables were extremely close. I could’ve eaten off the plate at the table next to me.  how to enjoy a meal when it’s that loud.

    Our server did an amazing job considering that the restaurant went from empty to pretty full in a matter of minutes and they had very limited staffing

    Nice ambiance, great service, and good food. For the price, you should get bread and side salad with meal, not have to pay extra. Also, would like to see n/a wine options to pair with the food. The n/a beer doesn’t pair well with Italian food and mocktails were very overpriced.

    Ordered calzone and rib pasta. The calzone was pretty good. The pasta was mediocre with shredded beef and left hungry. We were shocked to hear bread with the pasta was $9.00 more! The wine was weak (pinot noir and pino gris both) and lacked flavor. Service was good but the food was just decent. For the premium cost of the wine we certainly expected more and no bread included with the pasta was a shocker.

    Intimate dining experience in an authentic Italian restaurant. The pizza and short rib rigatoni were very good, as was the Calabrian wine.
