While That’s Amore specializes in all sorts of Italian confections, the large case of authentic gelatos is the reason this north Scottsdale spot is a must-visit no matter where you live in the Valley. However, our favorite gelato flavor from That’s Amore is a less traditional take. The whiskey flavor has a kick of liquory […]
Fancy is not a word used to describe the atmosphere of Times Square, but considering that the Italian restaurant neighbors a Waffle House and a Castle Megastore, that shouldn’t be much of a surprise.

Upper Crust Pizza & Wine Bar restaurant features a tantalizing variety of homemade, made-to-order pizzas, calzones, pastas, antipasto and salads made of authentic, seasonal ingredients created with fresh produce.

The kitchen does wonderful things to cod, duck, liver, beef and pork. The semifreddo dessert, flecked with dried fruit and pine nuts, ends dinner […]

Gio Osso’s Italian food isn’t afraid to reach beyond the boot, or even beyond the Mediterranean. His frequently changing menu has offered rib-eye with chimichurri and smoked swordfish belly with chorizo. But the bulk of the plates at this white-tablecloth restaurant on the edge of downtown Scottsdale are anchored in far southern Italy, though filtered […]
