Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Foothills

Wonderful food, charming staff. We finally found an Italian restaurant in Tucson that delivers great Italian food.

The newly redecorated and rebranded La Luz restaurant at the Westin La Paloma resort has elevated food and the dishes were all executed well. We had the sea bass, organic chicken and pork loin for entrees, the bruschetta and ceasar salad as starters and chocolate cake and coffee for dessert. We sat outside and the service as excellent despite the servers having to travel all the way over to the fireplace area. The cocktails were new and delicious with interesting takes on some old favorites like the manhattan and margarita.

We eat at Blanco’s at least every other week. We always get the chicken tinga nachos, which are the best! There is never fake cheese and guacamole is so good. Even though the restaurant was slammed, the service was great today. We always make reservations through open door, so there is never a wait.

First time at this restaurant. Escargot and artichoke appetizer was wonderful. My Caesar salad was excellent. Entrees were also great. I have a lactose issue so the menu was difficult, but our server was so helpful. Back and forth to the kitchen trying to find something that would work. She was truly amazing. Would highly recommend.

A busy day for North, but our waiter was attentive and did his best to make it a very pleasant family lunch. We appreciated the quietest table in the far corner. One of our favorite places to take guests who are craving a pizza.
