Went to "the table" experience and it was fantastic. This was an 8 course tasting menu paired with wine. First course was a feta/pita spread 2nd: scallops (sooo good) 3rd: grilled shrimp (tad spicy) 4th: corn dish 5th: bone marrow and anchovies (amazing)6th: fish 7th: steam with Gorgonzola 8th: chocolate cherry cake Colin was the lead for our table and did a very nice job at making sure we were all taken care of! This was a family style atmosphere on the patio which was set up very nicely! Very cute vibe! I do wish there was a print out of all the food that we had because I couldn't remember at the end of the night. There was also wine on the table and maybe more whites and less reds (there were a lot of reds left and no whites). Highly reccomend and can't wait to come back and try the menu options! The pizza looks amazing!

What a wonderful find! I'm visiting my sister and she has wanted to try this place for a long time. What a gem. First of all, it's very attractive. Beautiful outdoor seating under lots of trees. The aromas were intriguing. And the food was incredible Octopus with a very tasty sauce. A tuna sandwich with a super fresh salad. A nice Prosecco to round things out. Service was attentive without being overbearing. We loved everything about it. And Johan was excellent.

Had the most amazing time here! I went with 2 other people and we shared everything we ordered. We were seated outside on the cute patio with lights and heated lamps. Our waiters were very knowledgeable about the food and the wine and made several suggestions that were awesome. We had the polenta, grilled shrimp, Japanese sweet potato, the mussels, the pasta and finished the meal with delicious dessert! Every single thing was just delicious. I loved everything we ordered! You can tell they put a lot of attention and details in the flavors and honestly I cannot wait to go back!

The food was delicious! Fresh ingredients, tasty grilled bread, the anchovies appetizer was great too. We stopped in for lunch and we can't wait to try dinner service! Patio seating is a plus, highly recommend.

Let me start off by saying this was one of the best meals I've had since moving to Arizona.Our group had reservations to the nearby Celebrity Tbeater for a night of comedy with Jonathan Van Ness so we wanted to eat before hand. As i looked around PaLa stood out due to its reviews, rotating menu, and wood fire concept. Reservations were made seamlessly via the site and they confirmed verbally a day before and sent a reminder text.The day of we arrived early and got some drinks at the bar next door. No wait and was the perfect apéritif!Our time arrived and we were seated promptly. Our server was very knowledgeable and personableWe were a group of 4 and ordered family style the following dishes: Delicate Squash - how they got the squash so tender was a work of art. The flavors pop out and you can see why this is a crowd pleaser Scallops - perfectly cooked and sized well. The four of us split these scallops and had a ballMussels - it actually sold out after we ordered. It came with pita bread for dipping although i should have asked for more Bucatini Short Rib Pasta - we ordered two of these and glad we did. So yummySpanish Octopus - i tried these when I stopped by the PaLa booth at the devour festival. The flavors are amazing and The octopus is so tender! The meal was absolutely delish and we all left with smiles on our faces. Will definitely return again.Our one critical review is that the drinks are a bit high. Cheaper to just walk next door and buy a drink.

Went for an early dinner before a show and very much enjoyed our time. The mussels in Mediterranean sauce were some of the best we ever had. Ordered the olives and almonds and they were a nice spicy snack. Shrimp tapa was very tasty as well. Service was great. On a busy street but the ambiance on the patio was nice enough to drown any noise.

Two excellent dinners here in the last couple weeks. Cozy , comfortable dining area. Seasonal and interesting ingredients/preparations with most dishes made in the wood fired oven. Standouts were polenta with locally made sausage, iberico pork, carrots with blue cheese, octopus with frisee and white beans, scallops with fennel and grapefruit, and whole fish. Small but intriguing wine list with reasonably priced options. Service was attentive and helpful.

Big fan of Jason Alford the creator and now Caleb Stimson chef at pala on 24th. The place is small, quaint, & perfect setting for gourmet meal. Service was very professional and to the point. Chef & host greeted us, and we the four of us let them choose what to feed us. Jicama salad, octopus, Iberico prime steak, sea bass, flan, drinks. Everything from the time we set foot in the place to us leaving was above and beyond..huge thumbs up.Yes we would return.. definitely need reservations.. many thanks to staff and excellent treatment ...
