- CCarolVIPTucson •10 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAte dinner outside. The most comfortable chairs ever. Maybe the same indoors, but I have no knowledge of that. Also, a lot quieter, naturally. Our server was extremely helpful. No rushing. The food was great: we had shishito peppers and clams for starters, then the trout and the branzino. My husband liked my branzino better than his trout, just because it was almandine and he felt it an unnecessary coating. Then, great flourless chocolate dessert. Drink were good goo. Would return without a doubt because the menu had so many offerings, it would be great to try them all.More infoLure Fish HousePrice: Moderate• Seafood• Central Scottsdale•4.7
- KKaraPortland / Oregon •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFood was great! My husband and I both had the rigatoni. I also had the caprese salad, which was amazing. Service was great. We went at 5 pm on Friday, so it was pretty chill. Ambience was nice. If I didn’t live in Gilbert, I’d be here all the time!More infoPubblico Italian Eatery - ScottsdalePrice: Moderate• Italian• Central Scottsdale•4.6
- RRonVIPCleveland / Akron / Canton •65 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAs with our past dining experiences at Virtu Honest Craft, everything was perfect. The Asparagi was a beautiful plate, perfectly prepared and with outstanding combination of ingredients. This is definitely a go-to option on forthcoming visits. Our entree was the Bistecca Tagliata for two. A 40oz tomahawk ribeye with an arugula salad. Absolutely delicious. We chose a Sangiovese wine to accompany our food choices. The service was impeccable. Even though this restaurant is nearly an hour away from our home, it is well worth the drive, and we plan to return soon.More infoVirtu Honest CraftPrice: Very Expensive• Modern European• Old Town Scottsdale•4.7
