"Just one of the best culinary experiences I've ever had! Perhaps the best EVER – only from Spiaggia in Chicago, where the Obamas celebrate their special occasions. Cafe Monarch was everything you could ever ask in a beautiful culinary experience: stunning atmosphere, phenomenal service, excellent wine and cocktails, and of course, except-of-this-world food. Every course was divine and made me want more! Chris was our server and he could not have been more friendly or knowledgeable. I wanted to get the name of the white wine we enjoyed on his recommendation, but forget before we left. I called the restaurant and left a voicemail. Chris personally wrote me on the following day to answer my question in detail. You have to go to the Cafe Monarch — it is the absolute best in the Valley for impeccable service, romantic ambience and spirit bags food."

"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!"

"I had been wanting to dine here for a while, but finding a table was quite a challenge. The only available slots were either for an early dinner at 5-6 PM or late at 10 PM. If you plan to visit on a Friday or Saturday night, I highly recommend making reservations weeks in advance. The menu offers a unique selection that stands out from typical options, featuring dry-aged steaks, seafood, a raw bar, a variety of appetizers, and an impressive drink menu. The service is friendly and exceptional. Their drinks are top-notch, with a well-curated wine list and creative signature cocktails. The atmosphere is stunning, adorned with beautiful furnishings, cozy fireplaces, and a transparent kitchen. It’s an ideal setting for romantic outings. Prices are on par with other high-end restaurants in Scottsdale, so be prepared to spend a bit more. Overall, I would rank this restaurant among the top three dining experiences in Scottsdale. It truly offers an unforgettable experience with outstanding food."

"I love Berdenas, it was the first place in the valley I have ever visited for special coffee and still has a very special place in my heart. The atmosphere is cozy and quiet, the baristas are always super friendly and welcoming, and of course the coffee is also incredible! I love the cardamom pink. I'm telling everyone I can also get from their Avo toast because it's really the best! Totally obsessed with this charming coffee shop."

"What a charming little hidden gem that has been around since the 1980s! This spot features a concise menu filled with genuinely homemade dishes that will have you wanting to return to sample everything they offer. A big shoutout to Denise for keeping the family legacy alive for more than 40 years. This place is a piece of Scottsdale history that we can't afford to lose!"
