School’s out forever at this hybrid sports/rock ‘n’ roll theme eatery where the shock-rocker born Vincent Furnier is worshipped like a demigod. Goth-punk waitresses wear eye makeup
All Pierogi Kitchen was always good, but this is a place that gets better and better with each passing year. Though officially a Ukrainian restaurant, All Pierogi Kitchen is a charming family joint that acts more like a repository of pan-Eastern European comfort food, less concerned with precise borders than with capturing the meat-and-potatoes essence […]
This fast-casual Mesa lunch spot checks a lot of “classic hidden gem” boxes: strip mall location, beachy walls and window murals, several decades in business, super flavorful fare. Aloha Kitchen is, in fact, such a classic hidden gem that it is no longer hidden. It’s been on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and has a line […]
Alter Ego, located on the ground floor of Canopy by Hilton Tempe Downtown, impresses. Veteran Valley chef Ken Arneson oversees the kitchen here, ensuring guests are treated to well-executed specialties like the skirt steak chimichurri, the katsu chicken sandwich, and sweet Thai shishito peppers. Don’t even get us started on the goat cheese gelato, mixed […]

Altitude Coffee Lab has become known for its roasts, but this cafe is more than that. The low-key interior is homey and relaxed, the perfect spot to spend an afternoon getting work done on the ivy-covered patio. Should you get hungry, Altitude offers full breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus that include dishes from all over […]
Basic Italian fare, including pizza and pasta, with some high-end Scottsdale resort touches in a lovely patio setting. Diners get a complimentary gondola ride in the Hyatt lagoon, as well as singing servers.
Alzohour remains, to the best of our knowledge, the Valley’s only Moroccan restaurant, so we can consider ourselves fortunate that it’s as vibrant and delicious as it is. Zhor Saad has run the restaurant portion of her dining/market/clothing boutique almost single-handedly since 2008, scurrying between the front and back of house as she transitions in […]
Owners Eric and Kathy Bower serve up homey Italian food at Amano Bistro, a charming neighborhood joint in an unlikely South Phoenix location — next to a Shell station and across from an empty lot on Baseline Road. Fans come here for the cozy vibe, reasonable prices, and well-prepared classics, from a garlicky hand-tossed white […]
The Amante Calzone – a combination of onion, black olives, shredded pepperoni, and spinach folded between flaky crusts – has to be tasted to be believed. Follow it with a slice of Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheese Cake at this cozy dining spot, and you and your stomach are happy-happy.

Forget outdated children’s entertainment destinations like Chuck E. Cheese’s. Mesa is home to a 95,000 sq. ft. indoor playspace with everything from go-karts, laser tag, video games, and rock climbing to an old-fashioned carousel, a train ride, mini golf, bowling, and an interactive area to redeem your hard-earned tickets. All of that fun will make […]
By popular vote, this place is the home of the best carne asada in the valley-not to mention some of the freshest food around. America’s Taco Shop makes everything fresh daily, in house, often from locally grown ingredients. We dig the Torta Pastor, a sort of a Mexican sandwich of toasted telera bread, mayonnaise, guacamole, […]
American Way Market Caf
Known for Neapolitan-style pizzas at Pomo Pizzeria Napoletana, Stefano Fabbri’s early 2020 opening marks a stark departure. The Americano is a high-end steakhouse that exists somewhere between America and Italy and isn’t quite a steakhouse. There’s a whole lot of beef on the menu, much from Niman Ranch, but the feeling and food travel in […]
Call it a stroke of culinary good luck that French-trained chefs Snir and Kierstin Mor landed in Surprise, an exurb of Phoenix hammered by chain restaurants, to open Amuse Bouche, their BYOB country-French bistro. Open for lunch, dinner, and offering one of the best Sunday breakfasts in the Valley, the tiny eatery features short and […]

Perhaps the Valley’s most notorious restaurant, featured on British celebrity chef’s reality show Kitchen Nightmares, Amy’s is far better known for its irascible owners than it is the food coming out of the kitchen. That being said, the pastries in the case look spectacular.
At his shop-meets-restaurant in north Scottsdale, Giovanni Scorzo has assembled a wide-ranging selection of Italian food, including groceries, pastries and sweets, as well as sit-down-style dishes. Though not cheap, Italian flours, olive oils, canned vegetables and other larder gems beckon from their shelves as you wait in line. Under the glass case up front, you’ll […]
Twenty-four types of Italian gelato, made fresh daily, in a small store the size of your normal ice cream shop. They’re big on flavor, though, probably the closest thing to real Italian gelato you’ll get short of hopping the next plane to Milan. Try the coconut and the pistachio – they’re out of this world. […]
This downtown gastropub, built in a ’70s-era block building with a spacious room, long bar, and outdoor patio, is more successful for its suds than its grub. Boasting 31 rotating craft brews on tap — think local favorites, seasonals, and all-over IPAs – beer enthusiasts would be hard-pressed not to find something to their liking. […]
