"For the past 2 weeks I?ve been trying to put into words how incredible my two experiences at Pizzeria Virtù have been. Let me first off start by saying the food is absolutely spectacular. True Neapolitan pizza is extremely rare to find in the US as it requires a certificate from a master from Naples. A lot of places advertise that they are and are met with cease and desist letters as it?s that strict to get a license to cook this type of pizza. Pizzeria Virtù exceeds anyNeapolitan pizza I?ve had anywhere in the United States. Their Compania is my favorite cause it?s a simple classic. The Crudo is also spectacular! I absolutely do not like mushrooms but let me tell you the Funghi may be one of the bestpizzas I?ve ever had. There are about 5 more pizzas on the menu that I need to try. There is also an appetizer that you will need to go back and get every time you go... The Burrata. Sourdough bread drizzled with olive oil, fresh madeBurrata that melts in your mouth drizzled in honey and nuts, and thinly sliced prosciutto that literally melts in your mouth like butter. This appetizer is the first thought I have every morning and the last thought before I go to bed eachnight. Not only will the food knock your socks off the service will as well. We were lucky enough to have Marshall both nights we went and let me tell you the guy is a mensch. He is the best server I?ve ever had. He remembered us and ourorders and even our conversations. He has an excellent understanding of the menu and it?s wine and alcohol pairings and his suggestions are paramount. With so many good options to choose from it was nice to just go with his recommendationscause he won?t steer you to anywhere but pure bliss. 10/10 couldn?t be happier with Pizzeria Virtù and with Marshall?s service. I can?t wait til I go back!"

"Mastro's is quite expensive and not really a family-friendly restaurant. Our bill for two quickly surpassed the $150 mark. For the price and the hype surrounding the restaurant, I expected a complete dining experience. This includes exceptional dishes, attention to detail, and professionalism. Unfortunately, we didn't quite get that. First off, the location of Mastro's is not ideal. It's situated in a shopping plaza that's quite far from everything and feels like it's in the middle of nowhere. It was a 50-mile drive from our house, along dark two-lane roads. In my opinion, a restaurant of this caliber should have a prime, standalone location like in Paradise Valley. When we arrived, the entrance didn't feel very fancy. The doorman was dressed in jeans and a sport jacket, and the three young girls who greeted us inside seemed more interested in checking the reservation book than attending to us. Once we were seated next to a window in the non-smoking area, we realized how crowded and cramped the space was. They had to shuffle things around to accommodate us, and my chair was practically touching the one next to it. Our server, an older lady, did her best to make up for the initial impression by telling us about the special food and preparation methods at Mastro's. The food itself was delicious – the best steak I've ever had. However, the drinks were a bit of a letdown. I asked for a specific vodka and was served a martini instead, and when I requested a chilled shot of vodka, it came in a large glass filled with ice and water. Despite the missteps, we enjoyed the ambiance and the live music at Mastro's. The decor was elegant, the lighting was perfect, and the crowd was not too loud. Overall, Mastro's is a great spot for steaks and upscale drinks at the bar. However, there were several questionable elements that prevented it from being the top upscale restaurant in town. I left with a desire to try out other highly rated restaurants for our next special occasion."
