Restaurants near Old Town Scottsdale, Phoenix, AZ

  • The Best of NileGuide
  • Phoenix has grown fast into its big-city identity in the past decade, and no where is this more evident in the breadth and diversity of the Valley's restaurant scene. Here you'll find everything from ultra-modern eateries specializing in fresh, organic dishes, cozy Mexican food cafes, and old-school, Old West steakhouses.

    Our top pick is Pizzeria Bianco in downtown Phoenix. What's so special about pizza, you say? The long line outside Pizzeria Bianco on any given night should offer a clue that something special is going on inside the small, unassuming house with the imported, wood-fired brick oven. The restaurant's simple, thin-crust specialty pizza, with most herb toppings grown on-site, was famously named the best pizza in the country by a notable New York food critic. Since then, Pizzeria Bianco has become Phoenix's designated foodie spot, with many visitors making a stop just to see if the famous pizza is as good as they say.

    Mexican food-lovers will rejoice in the number of reliably delicious cafes serving up Sonoran-style dishes. The Barrio Cafe offers inventive, fresh takes on Mexican classics, while Via Delosantos in the north part of town dishes up down-home favorites like enchilada plates and savory chile rellenos. For a gourmet take on Mexican City street food, the Gallo Blanco Cafe, located at the Clarendon Hotel, is a welcome addition to the Valley's culinary scene.

    Where to go in Phoenix for top-notch dining? T. Cook's at the Royal Palms Resort and Spa frequently tops lists as one of the Valley's best and most romantic dining spots, and the award-winning Mediterranean-inspired menu definitely warrants a splurge if you're seeking the best in local fine dining. Lon's at the Hermosa in Paradise Valley, located at the Hermosa Inn, serves inventive American Continental dishes in an unforgettable, lush desert setting.
