Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Downtown Phoenix

Was a great evening celebrating a birthday with multiple generations. The food, ambiance, service were all fantastic.

From start to finish everything was great. Food was excellent, service, and ambiance. They even moved us to a better table upon arrival which was unexpected.

We had a group reservation in the tasting room. Everyone loved their drinks.

“One bite transported back to Rome!” My friend told me about this place and urged me to visit and compare with my recent trip to Italy. I am so glad I listened! I ordered the Carbonara, the Bucatini was perfectly cooked and the Guanciale was a great addition to balance out the entire dish (ok I’m getting hungry again), my friend had a spaghetti with red sauce she said had the perfect amount of sauce the was so flavorful. We enjoyed a bottle of Amarone and great conversations with the bartender JP and GM Steph. This place is so welcoming we will be back to try the pizza, that the table behind us was raving about!

Since our last visit nearly a year ago, Anhelo has changed from a simple dinner menu to a course-based approach. We quite like this approach but while it gives many choices, it is also a bit limiting for the table because everyone is required to select the same course. Granted, there are numerous choices and add-ins but I'm sure it helps simplify things for the kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience with Anhelo. The petite course is definitely a lot of food when you consider the bread serving and the formage we added to our dining experience. I wouldn't skip the wine pairing either - they have a tremendous cellar and they paired well with each course. The staff is amazingly coordinated and synchronized throughout the night. Can't say enough about the service and professionalism of everyone. We'll be back!
