Virtu was on my list for so long that I had no idea what to expect when we finally went this past weekend. Unlike the rest of Old Town, parking was easy and we got a spot right in front of the restaurant.We were seated on the patio and I think this is the way to go here. I never went inside but every time a door opened, it seemed very loud. Plus, the patio is adorable and romantic.We did the prix fixe tasting menu and I definitely recommend it. The amuse was a cannellini bean soup that was an impressive start. My salmon crudo was fantastic and a bigger portion than I was expecting. The lemon sorbet palate cleaner was just perfect. My sea bass was perfectly prepared and expertly seasoned. Husband was equally pleased with his duck. We ordered the mesquite noodles outside of our tasting menu choices because we were curious and I'm glad we did - it was interesting and yummy. Desserts were also a standout.Service was pretty relaxed and we started to get worried about getting out in time to make an 8 pm show but we let our server know and they made sure to get us out of there on time.We will definitely return.

Beautiful dinner with great service. The place itself is gorgeous especially outside. Our waiter was great! The salad on their current menu is seriously the best salad I've had in a long time. Maybe even ever.Also highly recommend their espresso martini, also possibly one of the best I've had, but it's not on their menu directly. They have a fancy espresso machine behind the bar if you're just looking for a good dessert coffee as well. We got the scallops and their famous polpo for entrees. I wasn't crazy for the polpo but who I was with really enjoyed it. The scallops were absolutely amazing!!! The only thing we ordered that we unfortunately had to turn away, and we really thank our waiters kindness about it, was the tuna tartare (crudo) it was unfortunately really warm and very, very salty. We had big bits of salt stuck in our teeth. But we thank the restaurant for being kind that we didn't enjoy it. Just thought I'd share for what it is good on the menu & what was not what we were expecting :)Thank you for this experience!

My wife and I went to Virtu honest craft for date night and we absolutely loved this hidden gem located near old town Scottsdale. The mixed cocktails and wine selection here are outstanding! We loved how the menu is constantly changing each time here and we did a fixed course menu and we left very happy!Overall, this is a wonderful place to come and celebrate a special occasion with that special someone. Highly recommend this for foodies!

Cute small intimate place nestled between buildings. Once you walk in, they have a beautiful courtyard with seating and bistro lights. They also have seating inside. Not a very big place so I definitely recommend reservations.Very romantic upscale vibe. Our server Adam was very nice and knowledgeable ( shout out to Adam!)Great unique fun cocktails. From the apps, entree's and desserts, it was all amazing and delicious. So glad I found and tried this wonderful .I would definitely come back.

I was in town in Scottsdale's on some unpleasant medical stuff and decided to book a table here. The restaurant is located at the center of that strange touristy area with all the artsy farsty galleries and cowboy looking people and sculptures of native Americans. The night I booked the table I walked down a quiet street and saw a bush wall with a dim light. The virtu sign emerged and I was greeted by a young lady who looked at me as if I didn't belong in the establishment. I was wearing my red Nike sneakers with a polka dot button down and some black jeans.The place was oozing warmth and there was a modern fire pit outside. I was outside by myself and the waiter came, he had gray hair with a Hollywood curl. He looked like an extra from "the godfather." Anyway everything I ate was delicious and not pretentious at all and the place was warm and friendly, especially my waiter, I can't remember his name, but you will recognize his hair.

Virtù Honest Craft was recommended to me by a co-worker. I arrived shortly after they opened and sat at the bar drinking in all the sights and sounds. I thought it was a very quaint, peaceful ambiance. The food was absolutely amazing. I ordered this lovely pasta dish that was surprisingly flavorful and light. It had this pesto cream sauce that defied expectation. It was glorious. The cocktails were amazing! The Ice Queen was delicious - bright, tantalizing, and frothy. It was a cocktail I could have drunk forever.One thing I felt uncertain with was the service. There was a couple sitting at the bar when I entered who the bartender was cheerily talking to whereas with me all joy drained from his face every time he talked with me. After the couple left I mentioned how I never had Amaro before as I was considering ordering one for a digestif. The bartender initially gave no recommendations and was largely dismissive saying it wasn't for everyone. Figuring he just wasn't wanting anything to do with me I closed my tab and then that's when he gave me a small tasting of Amaro.Maybe I just misread the bartender but I was quite unsure. I am grateful I went, but not sure I'd return.

Gastronomic Gem right here in Phoenix It's an inviting area that has gorgeous ambiance in the patio, I could see coming back when alfresco dining is possible again. We had an amazing time enjoying great service from both Michael and Jeremy, enjoyed amuse-Bouche small plate culinary delights alongside amazing hand-made cocktails from the bar all evening.

Came here for a date night with my husband and had a great time! This place is tucked in next to the Bespoke Inn in old town. We parked in a lot across the street. There are lots of tables outside and the courtyard is very quaint and intimate.For the first course, we tried the polpo, the pate, and the manzo. All of them were delicious! My husband ordered a pasta from the bonus pasta course (the sarde), which I wasn't as excited about (it tasted like something we could make at home and needed some acid to brighten it up). For the next course, we had the Bistecca Tagliata (tomahawk ribeye) which was really good (but maybe a little undersalted).For dessert, I had a butterscotch pudding and my husband had a chocolate cake. Both were delicious.The service was great, no complaints! Also, the wines that they paired for each course were lovely too.They mentioned that they also have a brunch on the weekends- I'm sure it would be wonderful too!

Fantastic food, service and the outdoor patio space had a similar feel to a European venue. The wine list had some great selections. We went with 2017 Planeta Mamertino, a Sicilian Nero D' Avila. Great bottle and price!Paired well with the food we selected for our meal. We will be back.
