"Celebrity chef and James Beard award-winner Scott Conant moved from New York to Phoenix in 2017 to open Mora, his loud, buzzy take on Italy’s neighborhood osterias, and diners fell in love. A huge, center-stage bar and an eye-popping, Italian-themed mural set the let’s-have-fun tone, which is reinforced with clever cocktails and Italian dishes that feel traditional-yet-modern, casual-yet-elevated. Start things off with focaccia di recco (Italy’s airy kissing cousin to Arizona’s cheese crisp) before moving on to pasta, pizza, and inventive main courses such as Calabrian black cod, harissa-spiced salmon, or roasted chicken with gnocchi alla Romana." - Nikki Buchanan
