Phoenix’s Best Restaurant and Bar Patios for Outdoor Dining | Eater Phoenix
"Tucked away in the Bespoke Inn, Virtu is not only one of the most charming restaurants in Old Town Scottsdale but also one of its best. Chef-owner and James Beard award nominee Gio Osso turns out Italian food from a three-course, prix fixe menu highlighting pasta, octopus anointed with Calabrese chile butter, and insanely rich asparagus, adorned with bacon candy, a duck egg, and foie gras hollandaise. The modern, minimalist (and decidedly tiny) interior has its charms, but most people gravitate to the cozy, plant-filled patio, strung with lights and presided over by a graceful old tree. In good weather (fall through spring), that same tree offers dappled shade for brunches offered every weekend." - McConnell Quinn
