Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Paradise Valley

Excellent patio table in view if the large fireplace and under the mature oaks. We had brunch with old friends we haven’t seen in a while and the staff let us linger a very long time. My dining partners had brunchy items and seemed to like them; I had a Waldorf salad that was fresh but just okay. I wouldn’t recommend it—-overpriced and very little food. Overall we are glad we went to El Chorro for the ambiance and the beautiful setting,

Always a wonderful experience - great food and outstanding service. Thanks so much to the entire team!!!

Rusconi's is our absolute favorite fine dining restaurant. Wonderful food in an unpretentious atmosphere. This visit did not disappoint. After enjoying lemoncello cocktails we started with beet salads. This was followed with our favorite entrees, grilled salmon with blackberry glaze, accompanied by Squealing Pig Sauvignon Blanc. Finally we split a Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding for dessert. Our favorite server Fritz was in rare form keeping us entertained while providing outstanding service. Before leaving for the evening, we made reservations for two more evenings in the next few weeks! PS- when "foodie" friends visit Arizona, they request a visit to Rusconi's

We expanded jr group from 4 to 8 at the last minute and the restaurant accommodated us on the patio at Bar North with enters. The service was great, the docs and noise level perfect and the food was delicious!

Great service and ambience. One very very loud table but that is not on the restaurant. Food was great
