At American Way Pasta, our mission is to bring the heart of Italy to Phoenix, offering authentic Italian dishes with a delightful American twist. Founded by me, Jose Chavez, and my wife, Wendy Gomez, along with my good friend Osmany Diaz and his wife, Yamary Llorente, our restaurant is a testament to our shared passion for Italian cuisine and our commitment to providing a memorable dining experience for all.
We believe that great food starts with the finest ingredients. Our chef, with over 20 years of expertise, crafts fresh, handmade pasta daily, ensuring every dish captures the essence of traditional Italian cooking. We honor Italian tradition by using fresh U.S. ingredients, blending the best of both worlds to create dishes that are both familiar and innovative.
What sets us apart is our unique approach to classic Italian recipes. For instance, our signature Cacio e Pepe is prepared tableside, where fresh pasta is swirled in a pecorino cheese wheel, creating a rich and creamy delight. Additionally, our Spaghetti Carbonara features bacon instead of the traditional guanciale, adding an American flavor that complements the dish perfectly.
Located in the Ahwatukee Mercado strip mall off Elliot Road, our 2,000-square-foot restaurant offers a formal yet familiar atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for both date nights and family outings. The aesthetics of our space have been thoughtfully designed to provide a warm and inviting environment, reflecting the comfort and charm of Italian hospitality.
We invite you to experience the best pasta cuisine at Phoenix’s newest gem. Whether you’re a food enthusiast or a family looking for a casual dining experience, American Way Pasta promises a meal that will delight your taste buds and warm your heart. Come and be a part of our story, where every dish is crafted with passion and served with a smile.
