This is one of my favorite galleries in Scottsdale. There are several great artists represented, with my personal favorite being the owner. She is an immensely talented artist, and a truly gracious woman, if you show genuine interest and are gracious yourself. We are fortunate enough to own a couple of her paintings, and I hope to add more to our collection. I still get a thrill every time I view her paintings. As to the negative comments, no gallery I’m aware of allows you to take photographs without asking permission, and sometimes not even then. Even many museums have a ban on photographs. You need to respect the fact that works of art are the property of the artist and/or gallery, not public property. It is simply basic courtesy to ask before you take a photo of someone else’s property. And really, the person who let her dearly loved elderly dog out the door is surprised that the owner would get upset? The dog is sadly now departed, but I’d seen it around the time of that review. It was quite elderly, certainly not spry. So I do think it would have taken some carelessness to let it out. It was wonderful of that reviewer to help catch the dog, but understandable that the owner would have been emotional.

Rude gallery owner. Will not visit again as we were complimentary, but she was definitely not interested in customers. Art work is beautiful. Too bad she is so unfriendly. She wouldn’t speak until we spoke to her.

What a refreshing, interesting gallery to visit. Udinotti Gallery has been in Scottsdale for many years but doesn’t have the stuck up feeling of some of the other galleries in the area. It’s an excellent space with tons of natural light and a beautiful lemon tree in the courtyard. Udinotti Gallery never felt crowded, stark, or pretentious as people can sometimes perceive galleries to be, and there is a wide range of styles, prices and media. The gallery features many local artists, which is a special draw for visitors looking to get a sense of the latest pieces from the Scottsdale art scene. Prolific, inspiring and awesome. I’ll be back.

Really interesting spot with a four room space featuring the works of many local artists. Friendly staff and a truly rustic feel not nearly as scrubbed or sterile as other galleries in the area. While I personally would have preferred actual prices on the works as opposed to a number requiring me to request more information from the staff this is a small quibble as the prices were actually rather reasonable for the quality of the worksmanship.

Worst experience I’ve ever had. The older woman with black hair who either owns or works at this establishment was extremely rude and condescending to us when we were trying to view her gallery. Not even a hello upon entering the gallery, and to top it off she slammed the door and called us names upon leaving because we took one pic without knowing it wasn’t allowed, can’t believe this was how we were treated. I recommend not visiting this establishment. Viewing art should be a positive experience I wouldn’t want to buy art work from such a negative rude person behind the creations!!! Look at other galleries on marshall way everyone else was extremely friendly! Don’t visit udinotti gallery
