We believe a dinner over amazing food should be an experience that brings people together. The desire to produce lifelong memories over a meal comprised of locally sourced (when possible) seasonal ingredients coupled with an internationally recognized wine program rarely seen in the US - excites us. These delectable dishes that are meant to be shared with family and friends is the conduit for building fond memories. We long for our guests to feel welcomed and relaxed with a casual-elegance that shines long after the last forkful and interesting sips.

Tratto is headed by Chris Bianco who is a James Beard award-winning chef. Reservations are highly recommended as the seating fills fast. Parties over six are required to have reservations. Walk-ins are always available at the bar top on a first come first served basis. The menu is small but well thought out and balanced. Try the Farinata, which is a thin savory chickpea crepe. Fill up on a pan seared double-cut pork chop or the grilled two wash ranch piccolo chicken. Tratto has a small wine list heavily focused on Italian reds and whites that will perfectly compliment the cuisine. Cocktails and draft beers are also available.

Downtown Phoenix's Most Visually Stimulating Cocktail Experience Yet...
Tucked behind the curtains of DTPHX's Wren & Wolf, Trophy Room is an unplugged sensory elevating cocktail experience unlike anything else in the valley.
Your 90-minute experience featuring awe-worthy interiors, interactive decor, floor-to ceiling decadence that tells a story with each sip and sight, and of course jaw-dropping cocktails that taste just as amazing as they look.
There's just one catch – no phones or photos are allowed inside.
Those who still want to get their photo-fix will have their chance in Trophy Room's lavish entryway but you'll have to check-in your phone before you head into the main cocktail room.
Connect with those around you, pay attention to the details, and make memories you won't forget as we tell you a story through design and drinks of what would happen if the animals won?
Trophy Room is a 21+ concept, failure to bring ID will result in denied entry and loss of prepaid deposit.

BARCOA Agaveria is a basement bar that celebrates the spirits of Mexico. Serving imaginative craft cocktails and a vast list of agave spirits, BARCOA is often described as "vibey," "sexy," and "the time of my life" (says some dude from Mesa). Agave spirits such as tequila, mezcal, bacanora, raicilla, and sotol, are the stars here, available as flights, neat pours, or however you like.
Reservations are only available for the basement bar. Please reference the Basement Bar Menu. Above BARCOA, check out the Cantina, a casual back-alley mezcal and tequila bar that serves affordable classic cantina cocktails, and the cheery patio, which features Provecho taco truck. Pop out anytime during your visit and bring food down to the basement.
BARCOA can be tricky to find. We're located on the southeast corner of 1st Avenue & Roosevelt, in the historic red brick building. Don't worry, you're not lost. It's just poor directional signage that the City refuses to fix.

Discover Downtown Phoenix

Historically known for cowboy steaks cooked chuck-wagon style, Phoenix will not disappoint when it comes to steakhouses. From high-end to eclectic to family-style, you will find a restaurant that fits your tastes. If you’re looking for something more ethnic, Mexican-influenced fare is in abundance. You can find authentic Mexican dishes like empanadas and tacos or more Americanized fare like burritos and enchiladas. If these don’t strike your fancy, Phoenix’s restaurant diversity offers plentiful American, seafood, French, sushi, Thai, and Italian restaurants. If you see fry bread on the menu, give it a try! Fry bread is a deep-fried, chewy dough sometimes eaten sweet with sugar and honey, or it may be the base for Mexican-style toppings and authentic chili sauce.
