    A globe-hopping dinner spot in Old Town Scottsdale built as a love letter to Anthony Bourdain, which means handmade pasta shares the menu with egg yolk nigiri and bison ribeye without any of it feeling like a theme park. The warm, conversation-friendly room earns its vibe. The bar team applies something closer to lab technique to the cocktails, and the mocktail program picked up a Phoenix Magazine Best of the Valley nod, which is a sentence Bourdain would have found deeply funny.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Egg yolk nigiri

      “allowing customers to enjoy handmade pasta alongside egg yolk nigiri, French onion soup or a Japanese Wagyu sando.”

      Phoenix New Times, 2025

      Phoenix New Times, 2025
    • Bovine tartare

      “For example, the Bovine Tartare is less minced raw meat and more giant, Flintstone-style bone complete with sugar-crusted marrow.”

      Phoenix New Times
    • Big meatball

      “There’s a shareable plate simply called the Big Meatball, and for dessert, a play on a nostalgic banana split.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
