These are a few of my favorite places in Scottsdale and what to look out for when you go. Bon appetit!

The cannelloni is drop-dead delicious! Drinks and desserts are worth saving room for, and the place is just beautiful. Book ahead of time if you want to go with even a small group. This place is bustling at lunch and dinner ... and for good reason.
Olive & Ivy
Sweet or savory, whatever your mood, they do it right. Everything we had was delightful, and the quaint ambience was a nice break from crazy Fashion Square energy.
Prep & Pastry
The show-stopper is their Coconut Cream Pie! Try it even if you think you don't like coconut pie. It will win you over. This is our favorite upscale brunch in Scottsdale with a great menu for all meals and drinks.
Steakhouse in Old Town Scottsdale - Maple & Ash
Duck Carnitas Empenadas are my favorite thing on the menu. My photos here are from brunch, but this upscale Mexican restaurant in Old Town Scottsdale brings the heat to every meal. Make reservations!
The Mission | Modern Latin Restaurant from Chef Matt Carter
Delicious modern Italian cuisine in a beautiful setting. Service can be a little slow, so allow yourself time to enjoy.
