   Being seated in a private dining room was a lovey surprise for our large group! Everything was excellent, from the appetizers to the entrees, and of course the desserts!! Everyone was impressed with the intricate flavors and presentations.

   We went for the Easter Brunch special they had and it was beyond amazing. Everything was delicious, and timed perfectly. Sad that they don’t offer brunch regularly, but we will be back for dinner

   Americano is our favorite restaurant in Scottsdale. Chef Peter always has fantastic new creations and Somm Grant knows his wines. Every dish is always an experience. The best atmosphere for drinks at the bar and a beautiful dining room. Music is spot on and the vibe is the best. So grateful to have Americano in N Scott.

   Sean our server was fantastic. We love Scott Conant but were a little disappointed about some of our experience. The oysters were also fantastic; salads were a little boring. We ordered both pastas. Both were very tasty but were served in relatively small bowls, the wrong vessels and there was not enough meat and crab in the dishes. We ordered French fries, and they first came out cold. Completely unacceptable. We got a new order that was hot and very good. We were there for my wife's birthday. We ordered the '"Baked Alaska" dessert. It was basically chocolate ice cream with some tasty merengue on top -- a little disappointing for their signature dessert. Neither the French fries nor the dessert were compted (usually done for birthdays at high -end restaurants). The restaurant was only about half full (on a Wednesday night) from 6:30 to 9. Unusual for really good Scottsdale restaurants. I don't think we'll be rushing back

   I brought my girlfriends here to celebrate a birthday, we had a great time! Our server, Gavin, made excellent food & drink recommendations and went out of his way to make sure the birthday girl felt celebrated. The sommelier, Grant, recommended the best bottle of champagne we’ve ever had. Service is amazing. Food & drinks are as sexy as the ambiance. 10/10

   David, our server, was 10/10 stars. He was knowledgeable of the foods and how they were prepared, as well as the wines and how they would pair with different foods. He was intelligent, personable, respectful. And the food, right? We ordered the wood fired pork belly with Calabrian chilis as an appetizer to share. It was perfectly crisped, succulent, smooth, slightly smoky and the chilis added a nice contrast to the richness of the meat. We also tried the pork shank, Bolognese, and a nightly salmon over a bed or risotto. The pasta was incredibly fresh and the Bolognese hit all the right notes. Honestly, it was probably the best I have tasted in any restaurant, a classic Bolognese prepared with some higher end meats. The salmon was perfectly prepared, a generous 9 oz portion. It was had a crispy exterior but was tender and moist inside. The risotto was creamy and rich with shaved raw asparagus and fennel. I initially thought the raw presentation odd but it did pair well with the risotto. We sampled two desserts and, honestly, they were not favorites. The lemon ricotta cake was dry and lacking lemon flavor, although the sorbet was fresh, bright, and lemony. The cheesecake was rich and dense, smooth texture with a rather odd caramel sauce. It was slightly grainy and I couldn’t quite work out its intent. I’d probably skip dessert in the future. Overall, I’m excited to add The Americano to our dining options and look forward to our next meal.
