Vincent Market Bistro

Playing on the success of the Saturday market that runs from fall to spring in the parking lot outside of his eponymous fine dining establishment, chef Vincent Guerithault expanded and opened Vincent Market Bistro, just behind the main restaurant. Inside, the place is as charming as a country cottage, and outside, there’s a pretty patio […]

Vincent on Camelback

More than 20 years since Chef Vincent Guerithault first dazzled Phoenix foodies with his ground-breaking menu – which combines traditional French cuisine with distinctively Southwestern touches – his restaurant still sets an example for fine dining in the Valley. Nowadays, of course, Guerithault’s fusion cuisine is considered classic, unlike so many restaurant trends that have […]

Vintage 95

Originally the first post office in Chandler in 1926, the building at 95 West Boston in Chandler’s historic downtown is now home to this cozy wine bar and eatery courtesy of Gavin Jacobs, a former bartender and manager at House of Tricks in Tempe. A lounge-worthy patio outside and an intimate interior featuring low lights, […]

Vintage Watch Restoration

We were rooting around in the family safe and came across Dad’s old Bulova wristwatch. It had been Mom’s wedding day gift to Dad in 1946 and it was dead as a doornail. We braced ourselves: Restoring a nearly 70-year-old watch would not only be costly, we figured, but might also mean dealing with some […]

Virtu Honest Craft

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 […]

Vision Gallery

This Chandler gallery is one of only two places in the Valley where you can buy art out of a vintage cigarette machine. That’s right, feed it five bucks, pull the old-timey knob and out pops a piece of art. Ok, so it’s not like you’re going to get the best work of art under […]

Vistal Golf Club

We stood on the tee of the par-3 eighth hole, nestled in a box canyon on the base of South Mountain. We saw rocks to the left of a sloping green, a large sand trap guarding the front, and nothing but nastiness to the right. A thing of beauty, in other words. If we turned […]

Vivo! Ristorante

Vivo! Ristorante has established itself as one of the more refined dining spots in town. Its pedigree helps: Vivo! is the latest offering from Phoenix restaurateur Tomaso Maggiore, creator of Tomaso’s and several other popular local Italian eateries. Maggiore’s latest restaurant specializes in seafood, pastas, and wood-fired pizzas. Its more original conceits include a mozzarella […]

The French-American themed menu offers dishes like salmon filet, lobster bisque, duck breast, and even a traditional meatloaf dinner or classic burger and chips. Guests will find starters like foie gras and Vogue onion […]
