Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Downtown Phoenix

“One bite transported back to Rome!” My friend told me about this place and urged me to visit and compare with my recent trip to Italy. I am so glad I listened! I ordered the Carbonara, the Bucatini was perfectly cooked and the Guanciale was a great addition to balance out the entire dish (ok I’m getting hungry again), my friend had a spaghetti with red sauce she said had the perfect amount of sauce the was so flavorful. We enjoyed a bottle of Amarone and great conversations with the bartender JP and GM Steph. This place is so welcoming we will be back to try the pizza, that the table behind us was raving about!

Yet another memorable dining experience at Cafe Monarch. The food, service & ambience all result in an unforgettable evening. We've been coming to Cafe Monarch for years, including their previous space across the street. It has stayed consistently remarkable. Special shout out to our service team, led by Scott. Thank you!

Had a great time, our first experience at W&W. We ended up forgoing our dining room seating for bar seating as it is what we prefer. There, our bartender Miles took great care of us. We took him up on his suggestions of appetizers and dessert and they were awesome. Speaking of awesome, Ella the manager stopped by to see how we were doing and chatted us up for a bit, which is always fun. Overall, a great experience that we will more than likely do again when in the area.
