- JJeffSan Diego •10 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoFood was great. They recommended their special flaming cheese appetizer and it was delicious. The salmon and lamb shank were also delicious. The service was not up to our expectations as there were a lot of staff standing around and our server was too quick to disappear and the appearances in between were spotty. Our expectation would be the staff standing around would be working as a team and this was not the case, not for the price level of this place, we expected better in terms of the service. Compliments to the kitchen, but suggest you get the front of house up to the same level.More infoCala ScottsdalePrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Central Scottsdale•4.4
- SSusanvipPhoenix / Arizona •48 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOur first visit to Blanco in a long time. We love the new menu! Would highly recommend everything we had: guacamole, the tortilla soup, carne asada fajitas, and the shrimp tacos. Good portion sizes, delicious and perfectly flavored. And, we had excellent service!More infoBlanco Cocina + Cantina – The BorgataPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Central Scottsdale•4.7
- CChristinaPhoenix / Arizona •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAmazing experience and food! I loved the friendly and prompt service, lighting and atmosphere, the burnt ends brisket was so good and coleslaw perfect. I appreciate the gf options and the “tallow” fries. As well as upgrades to make the food taste great and be great quality! We arrived at 5:45 so definitely a more calm experience and loved the corner seats. I look forward to my next visit and trying more items.More infoThe EndsPrice: Expensive• American• Old Town Scottsdale•4.5
- CCherylvipGreater Boston •15 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI have been excited to try this new restaurant. We had friends in town, so it was a great opportunity. The place was full the entire time we were there. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and timed perfectly. They have a lot of staff working. Everyone was very pleasant from the hostess table to the people bussing tables. Following someone else’s review, our party ordered the short rib lasagna, short rib pappardelle, and I got the chicken rigatoni. Everyone raved about their meals. The Caesar salad had the prettiest presentation. As much as I’d like to keep this restaurant to myself, I have to say it’s amazing, and will be on top of the list when we go out. You must have a reservation. It’s busy and for good reason!More infoThe ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• North Scottsdale•4.6
