Nello's is an excellent place to just kick back and relax especially on Art Walk night or in the midst of similar activities in old town Scottsdale, they also offer the lure of live music on Tuesday and Saturday nights.
My favorite appetizer pizza combo thus far is the eggplant bruschetta and the pizza rustica with a small river of Kilt Lifter steadily flowing to my table. The pizza is thoughtfully done, always tasty, and the ingredients always seem to be very fresh.
While I've been pleased with their desserts I would rather walk to the Sugar Bowl next door and hazard 10,000 ankle biters to get a good old fashioned ice cream sundae or banana split.
