Best Casual Restaurants in Central Scottsdale

Really enjoy the food at Sumomaya- so many great options. Started with the ahi tuna tostada which was yummy, and the pomegranate guacamole was outstanding. First time trying kimchi fried rice to which we added chicken, and it was terrific. Lots of sushi completed a great meal. The restaurant IS noisy and the hostess found us a place that was relatively more quiet.

Everything we got was delicious and our waitress was so kind and helpful with recommendations! I will say the tables around the room felt cramped because we were sat right next to people on either side of us and it was very tight. Other than that, service was great. We enjoyed the whipped eggplant, ceasar salad, soprassata pizza, Bianca pizza, vodka pasta, and the pavlova. The pavlova was unexpected- slightly sweet and sour with different textures. Definitely will be back.

So the food was amazing. The shirt rib lasagna was simply amazing. So good. The kids spaghetti and meatball was kind of bland, but that could be because it was a kids meal, but, other than that, it was fine. The new menus that look like encyclopedia were kind of bulky but different. I think that they should rethink the Encyclopedia menu type thing. The ambience was just amazing as well. You would never know that it was the old streets of New York restaurant when you walk in. Our server wasn’t the greatest unfortunately, forgot a few things never got bread to the table, took a little while to get and after dinner coffee, we had to remind him a couple times, but he was very friendly. The management staff was very nice. The passing out of Champagne while you’re waiting for your table was kind of nice different that was complementary. Overall, it was a great experience.

Excellent service in lovely atmosphere. Our meal was very good , but a bit overpriced for the salmon.

We had the most wonderful dinner ever at Fugo in Scottsdale. The General Manager Mimi, has made our dining experience & this restaurant into a gem. Because of her dedication & professionalism, she has the staff delivering such fabulous service that anyone dining here would want to return as we do. The other staff I would like to mention is Rachael who helps her manage the restaurant & both work together making everything such a wonderful place to dine. The best Gaucho server is Guzman, who brings our filet mignon & other meats made to our perfection & was just fabulous. He also had every meat we wanted. I highly recommend this place for the best dining experience anyone could ask for. We will continue to return & recommend this restaurant because of Mimi & Rachael & Guzman & so many other staff members that deliver dedication & excellent dining experiences.
