Franco Fazzuoli, a native Florentine and long-time Valley restaurateur, launched Franco’s Italian Caffe in 2011 to provide fresh, premium Italian food to Scottsdale. The restaurant, located in downtown Scottsdale, serves Tuscan Italian food such as Filet Mignon All’Arrabiata, Bistecca Fiorentina, and Spaghetti Salad Cruda. There are also specialty salads, such as a delicious Beet Arugula Salad with Goat Cheese and Croutons. However, before going on to the secondi meals, sample one of the restaurant’s specialty bruschettas, which include a legendary tuna bruschetta.

Two other small plate appetisers to consider are prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella. In addition, the restaurant offers a large wine list to pick from. When it comes to pasta dinners, gluten-free options abound.

Chef Marcellino reinvents classic Italian meals with a fresh and contemporary flavour at Marcellino’s Ristorante in Scottsdale. The Gnocchi Sorrentina, a hand-rolled potato noodle in a tomato sauce topped with fresh mozzarella, and the Gnocchi Carbonara are two standouts on the hand-crafted pasta menu. Skip the antipasti in favour of the Caprese, which is made with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, roasted peppers, and basil from the restaurant’s garden.

Try the Insalata di Pera, a salad of pear slices on fresh watercress with shredded pecorino and a handmade lemon dressing that is a must-order. This hidden treasure in the heart of Old Town is excellent for a romantic evening or a special event.

Elements offers a clean, simple atmosphere for its amazing mountain panoramas, which serve as the restaurant’s major focus point, by using Asian-inspired place settings and black and white accessories. While the dinner cuisine is heavily influenced by the East, the breakfast menu is entirely conventional.

Try Irish oats or a smoothie for something lighter, or something more substantial like an omelette ranchero, eggs with turkey sausage, or pineapple rum pancakes with almond butter and toasted coconut (shown above). Are you looking for something decadent? This fillet of steak interpretation of eggs benedict with foie gras and truffled hollandaise sauce is a must-try!

Brunch menu items include salads, burgers, and spaghetti. For an unforgettable dining experience, reservations at the chef’s table, including the private chef’s table XII, are necessary. You’ll have a front-row seat to the whole activity in the kitchen.
