- PPhyllisTampa / Central Florida West •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoLovely place. We arrived early for a reservation and were told they were not seating until actual reservation time. This was fine. We sat at the bar and had a drink. Our table was situated by a window and we were able to sit side by side. We explained our food allergies and ordered a bottle of wine. It was recommends by the Bartender, and we were not crazy about it, but it paired ok with our dinners. Next time we would choose something else. We chose to go with the menu rather than ordering from the Valentines Day prix fix menu. We had the warm camembert appetizer with fig jam and toasted bread. Terrific! My husband had the Beef Bourgogne and I had the Pork. Both were excellent and not too big portions but not too small either. We shared the chocolate mousse for dessert. Server brought out complimentary Limoncello(which was thoughtful) but I couldn’t drink because of allergies and we had explained this earlier to server, so I only gave a 4 star for service as this could have been a problem if I didn’t know what I was getting. We will return for Happy Hour and try more of the food. It was raining, cool and windy so we couldn’t sit outside but think that would be nice. Hope his place does well!More infoPinard Wine Bar & RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Contemporary European• North Scottsdale•4.4

- BBethannePhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined on 8 Feb 2025This was my second time there and it didn’t disappoint. The owner greets you like you’re coming into his home as a friend for dinner. The waiter was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. I brought my very savvy foodie daughter and son in law. They loved everything about this experience. I won’t go to another Italian restaurant moving forward. This tastes like Italy. Love, love ,love!!More infoSfizio Modern Italian KitchenPrice: Moderate• Italian• Desert Ridge•4.5
- SSEAVIPPhoenix / Arizona •55 reviews4.0Dined on 5 Feb 2025Great burger, great travel, fries, great wedge salad, and great service with bartender Matt and with the female hostess. I would like to see this place get Casa Azul, Plata, and class Azul reposado I went in this evening. They did not have any. They only had the class a school of varietals that were $100 a shot and $400 a shot. But they did not have the Plama or the reposado. I was disappointed and I had to drink Johnny Walker black. I do decide restaurants based on what they have at the bar and I would like to be back if they were to remedy this. I also do a lot of outings on a personal and professional level. I'd like to make this my go to after experiencing it for the first time today.More infoChauncey SocialPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• North Scottsdale•3.8
