The 38 Best Restaurants in Phoenix

"Tucked inside the charming Bespoke Inn, chef-owner Gio Osso’s tiny, intimate Virtù turns out exceptional modern Italian food, including fabulous crudo, grilled octopus two ways (one prep involves Calabrian butter, the other burnt orange sherry glaze), and obscenely rich asparagus with feta crumbles, bacon candy, foie gras hollandaise, and an oozy duck egg. For a splurge, consider a multi-course price-fixe dinner for six ($150 per person), centered upon smoked and roasted suckling pig — which requires 72 hours notice. Everything else is a la carte. For dessert, affogato or an amari from Virtù’s vast selection satisfies. In good weather, the charming patio is the place to be." - Mcconnell Quinn, Chris Malloy, Nikki Buchanan
