UPDATE*****NOW CLOSED for Business *****Pasto Di Forno is a small postage stamp sized restaurant in Scottsdale. It’s too small to contain a public restaurant. When it comes to Pasta Di Forno remember that good things come from small packages. The food Pasto Di Forno specializes in are Paninis of mostly the Italian variety  but they also serve Soup, Salads, Cold Sandwiches, Flatbreads, a few specials (maybe a house made pasta) and house made Sorbet. Everything is made in house. Speaking of the house …..did I already mention the dining room is small. They offer three tables that seat couples and also offer two community tables.

I went with the restaurants most popular Panini and it was the Grilled Chicken.

This sandwich was much different than most sandwiches you get in Phoenix…..The bread was really great! It was JUST LIKE EAST COAST ITALIAN ROLLS. Chicken was good. The grilled peppers with sun-dried tomatoes added good flavors to the sandwich. They also spread the bread with a delicious basil pesto oil so it wasn’t dry and had more flavor. My side was a very fresh made salad with fresh shaved cheese, crisp cucumbers in a light vinaigrette.

My husband had the Calabrese and Provolone.

I know that this sandwich is among my husband’s favorite sandwiches that he has tried in the Metro Phoenix Area. He said the salami  was really tasted great and was spicy. The cheese was just right and wasn’t cold and wasn’t too hot and was served at this perfect temperature. The rest of the fillings were perfect and that bread again was so good. He just kept saying that sandwich was really good. Actually he said more than that. He said the sandwich was so good that he could eat here every week.

Good things come to those who wait. This isn’t a fast food place. I think the young owner was the only one working when I was there and it took time to make the fresh made salads and so on. We waited longer than usual for sandwiches but they were excellent sandwiches. Did I tell you the bread was really amazing!

A Tiny Gem in Scottsdale!
