S & V Urban Italian

My newlywed wife and I chose to have our wedding reception at the Stone and Vine off of Shea in Scottsdale (we routinely frequent the recently-opened Stone and Vine in Chandler). Being familiar with their menu, as well as being fairly close to where we had our wedding ceremony, were considerations which factored into deciding to have our reception there. We had close to 80 of our closest friends and family, including children. Our menu choices were varied between two kinds of bruschetta, house or caesar salad, kid’s meals (chicken strips, french fries), vegetarian (five-cheese ravioli with vegetables), non-vegetarian (Milan chicken with asparagus), and of course alcohol; red or white wine, and beer One may expect all kinds of challenges in hosting such an evening, with the varied fare and guests, children being antsy and eager for their dinner, others perhaps with their drinks running low or their dinner being too cold. Nothing like this was observed. Presentation went well beyond the dinner, as the staff was not only very professional and courteous, they collaborated quite well. For example, one may take your drink order, while moments later it was fulfilled by another. They had it in mind to have the children served first to get them a bit situated (hey, kids will be kids, right?). Moments after the last tables were served with the initial course offering of bruschetta and salads of each guests choosing, dinners were presented timely, and in same sequence. There was always something there for our guests, whether it be a new or refilled drink, or a course of their dinner The restaurant allowed us to have our dessert brought in. We had a small cake brought in for the usual tradition, and cannoli. In timely consideration, the champaign flutes were presented for toasting of the new bride and groom, as well as plates and flatware for dessert The professionalism, attentiveness, and timely presentation of each course offering was all indicative of the planning that went into the evening. Our friends and family were very impressed with their dinner and venue, as were we. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better reception or venue to host than Stone and Vine, and are grateful for them making our evening a very special and memorable occasion Mr. and Mrs. Ron and Roberta Johnson, married October 17th, 2015

I enjoyed the best lunch here this week. I ordered a salmon dish and requested medium rare and it was cooked perfectly! Our server was delightful and took very good care of us. The atmosphere is very clean, fresh and very hip. The bar is beautiful! They even created a mock tail just for me! Definitely recommend and cannot wait to go back!

My friend and I went there for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The food was excellent and was very fresh, tasty and cooked to perfection. Exceptional service, and very friendly atmosphere. I will definitely be going there again, and will be telling all of my friends to go there, too.

Food is beautiful and the vibe of the restaurant is very nice without being overly pretentious. Simple but very tasty drink menu and the bruschetta is at least as good as Postinos if not even better. Shrimp scampi slapped, peppers and sausage was a bit small. Hummus and pita were also very nice. Overall great experience and very nice staff.

We had a large party and reserved the patio. The food was delicious and the service was awesome! Very attentive and very friendly. First time there and I was very happy with the entire experience!

What a great restaurant! The food was so delicious!! Our server was very pleasant! The drinks were so good! The vibe was very nice and welcoming! We will be back again for sure on our next trip out! 😊
