Chef Gio Osso’s intimate gathering spot is tucked inside Old Town Scottsdale’s Bespoke Inn, where his menu features contemporary cuisine inspired by his Mediterranean roots and global influences. Simply dubbed "honest craft," Chef Gio's menu changes weekly, and is comprised of reliable and satisfying mainstays like homemade pastas, hearty meat dishes and superb seafood. Join us for dinner on evenings from Tuesday to Saturday inside our intimate dining room or enjoy a delightful Arizona evening on our beautifully lit patio.

We look forward to serving you! Cancellations made within 24 hours of reservation will result in a fee of $50 per guest, thank you.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Gio Osso

From the OpenTable editors: One of the Phoenix New Times's top 100 restaurants, this is the place to go for chef Gio Osso's regional Italian cooking. The menu changes frequently, but you'll find nods to his Mediterranean heritage in dishes like crispy-skin branzino with caper-infused brown butter. It's best enjoyed in the rustic, tree-covered outdoor dining area with a glass from the impressive Italian wine selection.

Today's visit was disappointing. Given the reputation, I had hoped for some consistency. The tartare was adequate, the polpo wasn't up to snuff...bland with miniscule drops of vaguely flavored sauce. One unhappy Calabrian chili. The mushroom risotto was so over-cheesed that there must have been 100mg of sodium in every bite. We left it largely uneaten. The smoked duck breast delivered a modicum of redemption, but the serving was paltry in a puddle of cloying cherry sauce. Unimpressive at an elevated price point. May be time to move on.

Food was good but not spectacular. No non- alcoholic options but fruity sugary imitations. Get with the times and offer some alcohol free spirits. You can make a lot more money than you can when someone is relegated to water with their nice meal. Also I asked for my scallops without rice and a vegetable substitute and got an argument from the waiter that the chef thinks rice is the best side for the meal. Went on until I told him fine put it on the plate but I won’t eat it. My companion pushed it and they finally relented and gave me asparagus. Beware if you have dietary restrictions as they are not very accommodating. I would not return.

There is a set menu for a party of 5 or larger. There isn’t anything in the website that states that. It’s 95 dollars a person not including drinks. Not a big deal but had picky teenagers and elderly with us that didn’t want that much food. Almost got up and left but didn’t have a reservation any where else and everything is booked on a Saturday night in Scottsdale. If you sit outside, there will be large peddle carts things filled with people loudly going by during your meal. It was a decent night but will not return. The highlight was the service. It was outstanding.
