Scottsdale Road DOES NOT recommend Corrado's
At Scottsdale-Road.com, we love good Italian food, so it's unfortunate that Corrado's didn't quite measure up. We did find one highlight on an otherwise average experience - the wait staff were friendly, accommodating, and attentive. The owner/chef was present and couldn't have been more gracious. We always love to highlight the small business community in Scottsdale, but when we have to call attention to a less than satisfactory experience, it's an unfortunate reminder. Corrado's - it's not so hot. . .
