Meet the Chef
Chef Arturo Garino
Nook's menu is built on made-from-scratch ingredients — signature dishes like Arancini, handmade pasta, the Espresso-Rubbed Filet, and Nonna's Meatballs all come from Chef Arturo's kitchen. Our custom Acunto M. Napoli oven, imported from Italy, chars every Neapolitan-style pizza to order, served in both Rosso and Bianco varieties.

Summer Flavors, Local Ingredients
Our summer menu leans into bright, market-driven dishes — new salads built around seasonal produce, a refreshed pizza, and warm-weather cocktails designed to make the most of long Arizona evenings. Same house-made pastas and wood-fired classics you love, with the season's best woven in.
