Andreoli Italian Grocer

Excellent Italian food! The service here is also fantastic. They hand bake their bread every day. We have been here several times and it never disappoints. The Caio sandwich is tender and comes with the best oil and vinegar topped salad you will ever have. The mushroom ravioli is also excellent along with the penne and veal Ragu. They also sell a great selection of imported Italian products. Great desserts too!

Overall great experience. The service was excellent and the food was even better. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. Will definitely go back. The calamari was so good we had to order it twice.

Andreoli is the kind of simple counter restaurant that I can eat at over and over again, even in the same week. The food is just perfect. Sandwiches are all tasty with just the right dressing. The pasta specials are magical. The salads are so tasty. If you are looking for truly authentic fast casual Italian food in Scottsdale look no further.

Really well executed italian food… need a little flexibility !

We were visiting family in Phoenix from the northeast. Let me start by saying that I’m a first generation italian… I think I know my way around legit italian-​american food… this place is the real deal! In fact, I would dare say that this is some of the best Italian ‘fast casual’ food I have ever had.
Highlights. …
…
We decided to split some sandwiches since they had so many interesting choices. The eggplant was sublime… never had such a delicious eggplant sandwich… the sauce was out of this world… don’t expect a tired old take on eggplant parmigiano with heavy breading or slabs of mozzarella. …it’s super delicious and a fresh take
If you think I liked the eggplant. …then wait until you try the porchetta sandwich. It was crazy good! Excellent pork with nice use of spices and herbs… the fennel was great.
All the sandwiches came with a small house salad on the plate… generally $ 9… a good deal for high quality food.
Lowlights. …
…
Most of the staff was very helpful and service was fast. BUT… I feel the same way as other reviewers about the hostess behind the counter… she has zero flexibility. …my wife is not as adventurous with food and wanted the beef sandwich without the hot relish… she preferred some lettuce on the sandwich… easy right? Nope… no can do… did I mention earlier that a salad came on the plate? They could not move a couple of leafs of lettuce on the sandwich? I should mention that at the time of ordering, we did not know that there was a side salad included so we were super perplexed about the lack of flexibility. Obviously, the world did not end because of this but it showed a weird complete lack of customer service.
But forget the lowlight… the food is awesome… real good, authentic italian food! Try it.

The food is very good, but the prices are a bit higher than most (see other reviews). Does not quite match up with Giuseppe’s.

I saw this place on a recent episode of Diners, Drive Inns & Dives. I was expecting some good food and what I got was not so good.
I ordered a sausage sandwich and asked to add provolone cheese (at a charge). They said they do not make to order. Okay, Strike one! What I got was burnt sausage patties on a burnt french roll. The sausage tasted acrid & tough while the bread was hard to bite through.
Strike two! The people working there were not friendly and were bickering among themselves. No one greeted you or even cracked a smile and the food was over priced and I felt like I was back in Italy Strike three!
Maybe they were having a bad day… It happens:-(

Bit pricey for a piece of tiramisu however it was delicious. I wouldn’t mind treating myself on special occasions.

As good as it gets as far as authentic Italian spots in Arizona. My family and I have been coming here long before it was discovered by Guy Fieri.
The food is a great quality The atmosphere is great. Family ran businesses are become far more rare and that is exactly what this place is. It’s a little place with great food. Make this a destination If you are ever in Scottsdale.

Love this place! Their daily pasta special is always amazing. I end up taking home desserts every time!

I’ve already reviewed Andreoli’s before, but today demands a follow up. The wife and I arrived at 11:00 on Christmas Eve as the team at Andreoli’s were featuring an outdoor fish market. We started with the grilled calamari while Giovanni prepared the next part of our order on his outdoor grill setup for the day’s festivities. He made us swordfish, halibut, and shrimp using a «brush» made of sage and rosemary dipped in olive oil to coat the fish. Meanwhile his kitchen was making us a portion of smelt, lightly breaded and fried perfectly. The fish is flown in special from around the world just for this event and it shows in how fresh everything is. They really go out of there way to find the best.
For dessert we had an espresso and a cornetto and then just lounged in the bliss of a perfect meal, until one of his sons sat down next to us with a piece of grilled John Dory. It was the sample from his plate that forced me to order my own. This fish is also known as San Pietro, I don’t know that I could have had this anywhere else in America today — it was PERFECTO!
The original idea was to come back before closing for dinner, but things were so nice we just hung out on the patio for the rest of the day. By 3:00 it was time for a cappuccino and a sfogliatella and then at 4:30 the Pièce De Résistance; a giant dish of mussels and clams in a Pinot Grigio with fresh ground pepper and garlic — wow! Not able to leave good enough alone we were presented with a small portion of lobster in a tomato sauce that would make any gourmet buckle at the knee, worthier connoisseurs would cry. At 5:30, 90 minutes after they closed we finally find ourselves in the parking lot, armed with half a dozen chocolate and lemon custard beignets. We can honestly say this six and a half hour gastronomical extravaganza is one of the greatest Christmas Eve celebrations my wife and I have ever experienced.

Delicious!!! Swordfish, scallops, shrimp. Oh my. Definitely authentic Italian menu. We also tried the grilled calamari. And had marzipan and butter cookies for dessert. Top notch. I can’t wait to go back and have their spaghetti.

OMG-​What a rip-​off! $ 32 for this tiny platter. I even preordered it a week in advance. I also ordered extra prosciutto and that was $ 32 a pound. Staff is also rude.

Little hard to find (or maybe it was just me), but well worth it. Sausage sandwich is definitely a thing a do again. Tomato and mozzarella was also good. Bread on both sandwiches was outstanding.
Didn’t order desert, but they had a bunch of stuff that looked really good.

Here is the good news:
The frozen ravioli (that you take home and cook) is very good
Here is the bad news:
The price is absurd … $ 17 for a small batch that barely feeds 1.5 people
What is up with these people? … How much more would it cost them to add 40% more product for the $ 17 price point?
Think I’m wrong … walk in and check the frozen section … the pricing is too high for the tiny bit of product they are providing … they need to be more generous …
The ravioli is good, but it isn’t that good …
otherwise, really a nice product … Nice energy inside as well.

I’m a true believer that Andreoli has some of the most authentic Italian food in the Valley! Their food is SO fresh and delicious and I completely recommend sharing the dishes family style so that you can get a little taste of everything. And their bread, Oh-​Em-​Gee, their bread. I could eat it all day, every day and be a happy camper (Ask for some balsamic to go along with their fabulous EOO)! A few of my favorites are the maresciallo (meat and cheese board), fratelli d’italia (caprese-​like salad) and their pasta options change frequently but they are all amazing! Last but certainly not least, their sweet treats are off of the charts. I love their Nutella cookies and chocolate cake! Warning: The photos may make your mouth instantly start watering! :) Enjoy! Can’t wait to come back soon.

Omg! I just purchased a salami to take home with me… it got as far as our hotel room… I’m headed back to get two more for the road. Maybe even three… Wow so good!!!

Nice place for lunch. We ordered two Italian pork sandwiches and shared them; they were great — good meat on very tasty baguettes. Each came with a nice lettuce salad. It’s a filling lunch.
I’m going to make a point to come back here soon as I really did enjoy it.

So we came to this place because Guy came here so I had some high expectations. Leave your high expectations elsewhere.
I got a #1 and my cousin got a #6 so I got a taste of both. Both of these were pretty plain, I was still hungry when I left the place. The bread was pretty toasty and crunchy however I wish they would ask us if we want the bread toasted or not because it’s really hard to chew on it. My jaw got a workout that wasn’t needed. If the bread was softer I probably would have enjoyed my sandwich a little more. I think $ 8.25 for some salad and a little sandwich that isn’t the GREATEST is a bit pricey.
They have chocolate which is pretty good but also pricey I believe it was $ 25 a pound.
I wouldn’t go here a second time and if I did I’d try pasta.

The best Italian deli in Arizona! Meats, cheeses, desserts and fresh loaves of bread… I feel like I’m back in NYC. The food is always made fresh and it may be a little pricey but you get what you pay for… I give them 5 canolis…

I feel odd leaving a 2 star review when so many people really love this place.
So ordered 2 entrees– the gnocchi in a vodka cream sauce and the penne with veal ragu. So I’m wondering what went wrong here… the gnocchi was just plain tasting, no pizzaz to the sauce, no hint of any real flavors except tomato sauce that seemed watered down. It was good but for $ 16 or $ 17 dollars I sort of expected above average.
Now the veal penne– pasta was cooked perfectly. And it stops there… the sauce was not enough to really cover or be spread around all the noodles and again, where was that veal taste with hints or spice, tomatoes etc? Missing like the gnocchi. Had to ask for a side of Parmesan since the pasta was lacking even a good sprinkling of cheese.
Bread was slightly cold, not warm so great, can it get more annoying…
So at that point I thought a homemade piece of tiramisu would do the trick. Okay at this point I said «you have to be „bleeping“ kidding me.» I would say it was an order of whipped cream with some lady fingers included. Literally 65% whipped cream that was actually good, won’t take that away from them, but the dessert isn’t a moose, it’s lady fingers. Tasted the mascarpone cheese, but no taste of coffee liquor, or anything but mascarpone whipped cream.
So disappointed and even more disappointed it costs over $ 50.00 (had 2 glasses of wine, in small glasses) what tastes slightly better than the Olive Gardens.
And don’t charge $ 7.00 for whipped cream!!!
