1. Giovanni Scorzo's shop-restaurant in north Scottsdale stocks shelves with proper Italian flours and oils while a casual dining room serves his Calabrese cooking that roams across regional traditions—orecchiette with broccoli and sausage, branzino with herbs, grilled squid with parsley and lemon. The pastry case alone, filled with cannoli and sfogliatelle that rank among the best in the metro area, makes a stop worthwhile even if you're just grabbing supplies.
