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.

As with our past dining experiences at Virtu Honest Craft, everything was perfect. The Asparagi was a beautiful plate, perfectly prepared and with outstanding combination of ingredients. This is definitely a go-to option on forthcoming visits. Our entree was the Bistecca Tagliata for two. A 40oz tomahawk ribeye with an arugula salad. Absolutely delicious. We chose a Sangiovese wine to accompany our food choices. The service was impeccable. Even though this restaurant is nearly an hour away from our home, it is well worth the drive, and we plan to return soon.

Tucked quietly in old town Scottsdale, this restaurant is a true gem! Our evening was nothing short of phenomenal! Despite the chilly and brisk evening, the patio seating is incredibly inviting and heated. The patio is large while maintaining its intimacy. Our group of four decided to go with the prix fixe menu and wine pairing. The burrata and grilled octopus were outstanding. Our group had two orders of the scallop dish as a main, the pork chops and sea bass. We all tried each other’s dishes and wine pairings. Each dish was seasoned to perfection and undeniably delicious. Our server was outstanding offering recommendations with ease as his familiarity with the menu shone through. We cannot wait to come back and see what the chef comes up with next as the menu changes frequently. Overall, an outstanding experience!

On a two night visit to Phoenix, we loved Virtu so much we decided to eat there both nights! We were slightly worried that the second night might fall short because the first was perfect but alas both meals were fabulous! Virtu is a little gem of a restaurant which allows for intimate conversation (so rare these days when the noise level of most restaurants is off the charts). Each appetizer was absolutely delicious: from the crudo to the asparagus to the burrata and the pulpo. Then, just when you thought it couldn’t get any better the entrees were also superb (branzino to die for). The staff was lovely and attentive but never overbearing. Highly recommend!

My partner and I enjoyed a perfect date night at Virtù Honest Craft in Scottsdale. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The low lighting, intimate tables, and abundance of candles created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Both our host and server were exceptionally attentive, enhancing our experience. I chose the scallop dish, which was absolutely divine—perfectly cooked and generously sized. We complemented our meal with two glasses of wine that paired beautifully. To top it all off, we indulged in a decadent caramel dessert that was the ideal ending to a flawless night. Highly recommend for a romantic evening out!

We live that the pasta offerings change so often. We go pretty frequently and always have new pasta choices when we go. Also, they have one of the most underrated wine lists in Scottsdale
