   This place used to be so much better than this. We went for Restaurant Week, $44 prix fixe menu, the selections for this were limited as you'd expect. What we didn't expect was how bland and tasteless the food was. We live in the neighborhood, have dine several times and it was always a good experience, except for the loudness it can attain during a busy evening. I have had their scampi before, it was good enough to absolutely rave over. This time it was just, "ehhh", underwhelming, 3 shrimp swimming in broth, with too little garlic flavor to be called scampi. Where's the normal punch of garlic?? Our salads, caprese and ceaser were not up to par, hubby took one bite of the ceaser and didn't bother with it. The caprese was OK, but I found the balsamic vinegar cloyingly sweet. The entrees were bland, mushroom risotto and beef (for some reason also drizzled with the sweet balsamic), it was not good, risotto was sticky, not at all well seasoned, the beef suffered from a lack of proper seasoning. Hubby's seafood linguini was only slightly better, but again really under-seasoned. I had a glass of wine that was listed as being "on sale until it's gone". Apparently they now price and serve wine by the ounce, in the fine print on the price list it says 5/25/70, which was the price of the wine in ounces, by the glass and by the bottle. I thought it was $5 a glass, but no, $25 a glass was the "sale" price! It's on me that I didn't check the fine print, but overall we we not impressed by the food or the drinks, and with so many other more worthy choices for the price point, sadly it is off our list and we won't bother coming back.

   The service was absolutely excellent from the host to the busser and all involved. The drinks were good but we were told we'd get happy hour prices and we didn't (ordered a few minutes before the cutoff). We got the $44 restaurant week menu. 4 courses but you have to share the appetizers and one of the 'desserts' was a shot of limoncello so really 2.7 courses lol. My app was a shrimp dish served in a watery broth. Shrimp were good size but overcooked. Mains were ok, absolutely nothing special about them. I was excited about the salmon with fig reduction but it was pretty flavorless. One of our party got the tiramisu which was excellent. Restaurant is too loud for conversation. Bill for 3 ppl, 2 drinks each was 254 before tip.

   Overall the experience was good. Tried the roasted Brussel sprouts and bruschetta for apps. The Brussels sprouts missed the mark. Entrees were good, but when did Seafood risotto turned into noodles? Sauce was very tasty. Chocolate lava dessert was good also. Server was a little busy socializing but support staff filled on.

   We dined last night during restaurant week. Food and atmosphere very good but service was slow, took a long time between courses to get our entrees. Like main courses were served 15 minutes after we finished our salads Everything coming out of the kitchen seemed very slow, but otherwise food was enjoyable and love the vibe of this place

   Excellent pasta. I had the salmon for the first time and it was delicious and came with ample potatoes and asparagus. It was a lovely, delicious evening.

    Pubblico never fails to provide a fantastic dining experience. The intimate contemporary atmosphere, the attentive, friendly staff, the presentation and preparation if their food is always perfect. It's our favorite go-to place in Phoenix!

    It was hot in there. I think their AC was either not working or they misjudged their guest’s comfort level.

    We loved the food. Everything we ordered was delicious. Service was a little bit slow because they were super busy on Mother’s Day so I do not hold that against them. We will absolutely be back.

    Food was okay. Just went there cause we had a gift card. Not the best service. Waitress came twice. Short rib ravioli was okay. North Italia is way better. Better places in Phoenix.

    Went to Pubblico Italian Eatery with the wife and the kids, garlic bread, meatballs, salmon, fettuccini Frutti di Mare, strawberry salad, all on point good stuff, good portions, they even brought extra strawberry's for my little girl even on mother day when she requested some, which speak volumes of the place, they are there to make you have a good time, I definitely recommend it, kudos to them!!

    Another excellent meal at Pubblico! Stephanie was our server and did a great job. We each had perfect cocktails a Manhattan and a Martini. She had a small arugula salad and I had a Caesar which were very, very tasty. She had the Branzino grilled to perfection with veggies and linguine and I had the Rigatoni with sausage. A nice light Italian red wine made everything perfect. The experience last night was better than the time before as a couple of the people there on our last visit were kinda rude. We’ve been going here for years and we’re going back soon.

    Went for a Mother’s Say lunch and was underwhelmed. Service was not great and food was average at best. For the price, I expected better. Maybe it was what we ordered but won’t be going back.

    Fue una muy buena experiencia. Todos los meseros se portaron muy amables y muy atentos. La comida estuvo riquísima. Recomiendo mucho el calamar frito y la ensalada César. Igual el salmón asado estuvo muy rico. El ambiente igual estuvo muy agusto y tranquilo.

    Not the best food. Came out really fast which leads me to believe they had it all pre-prepared and it tasted like it. Server did her best but there is no saving overcooked fish. Pasta was nice. Not worth it though.

    Dinner for four on a Saturday night with reservations. Service was good and so was the food. Pretty loud but because it was busy. The only issue I had was that we were seated at a table right next to the host stand. About 3 feet away. This is too close. There should be space between the tables and the host stand for privacy. I felt we were in a fishbowl with the staff and patrons. Too bad because it was a lively place and could be fun.

    Caesar salad was the equivalent of 1/2 bag of packaged salad for $12! Guests reported flavors were lacking; tomato bisque, meatballs, side salads, bruschetta…. This was very different from a year. We are not returning.

    My carbonara was excellent. My husband’s branzino, although a little salty, was plentiful. Nice vibe but I felt a little rushed since we stopped drinking. A nice neighborhood vibe

    We were happy to have chosen Pubblico for our Easter destination with family and friends. We each had something different from the menu and had no regrets. If you make reservations, ask for Jared's station. He was outstanding!!!!

    I have been here before and absolutely loved the service and food. This second experience definitely had me questioning if i’ll ever return. Our server was extremely rude and careless. He literally admitted to forgetting about us and didn’t even apologize. He also didn’t bring us ANYTHING. Every other server brought us our drinks, filled up our waters, served us our food, etc. Anytime he would come up to us we had to be the ones to engage or else he would just stand and stare. Meanwhile he’s laughing and having full conversations at his other tables. I really do enjoy the food and the place is so cute, but our server definitely ruined our experience :(
