[@cdi3031]

Thanks for all your reviews. I now have a new bucket list, as I have lived here for 22 years and never heard for these before.

I’ve lived in Phoenix for 30 years. We actually live in the Willo historic neighborhood you show in the video.There’s been a lot of changes, but your list was comprehensive. We regularly patronize every one of them. Nice job. Bianco is arguably the best pizzeria in the country, and yes that includes Brooklyn. Good job

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment, Mike. This is high praise indeed, coming from a local! Thanks for watching. 😁

Sad to report that Part of Cocina burned down so its closed now but the owners say they will reopen when repairs are complete.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Oh no! That is terrible. Thank you for the update! 👍🏼

Hi 👋, My husband and I were in Phoenix last year for his graduation from Grand Canyon University from the Masters in Christian Counseling program. Our favorite restaurant was the Sicilian Butcher, we went to the one in Peoria for his after graduation lunch, There is also one in Phoenix. We are Italians from the North East so we always try Italian food when we travel. It was excellent, they are famous for their meatballs. Hope you went to the cactus gardens and the Musical Instrument museum, my husband is a musician so it was especially enjoyable for him. Then we were off to SanDiego, loved it there as well. Looking forward to your next videos on Phoenix.

Así Es La Vida for Mexican food. Arcadia Farms Café for farm to table - get the chicken, wild mushroom and leek crepes. The chicken is from local Two Wash Ranch and you can taste the difference. Amazing! Also go to Hanny's restaurant.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

@@deltatango5642 I LOVE crepes!! These recommendations sound amazing. Thank you so much!! 😊

Tryst Café on Gilbert Rd is Amazing!!! Best Steak Nachos!!! The Queso Sauce they top it w/ is Incredible!!

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Edward, thanks for this addition to “places to try” for my next visit. It sounds amazing! 😁

[@OlinKreutzRules]

There’s not 1 mention of Sizzler or Baker’s Square anywhere in this video. Pretty suspect from my point of view. Lmao. Just joking around. Solid video. Thank you and hope you’re having a good day. ✌🏻✌🏻

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Haha! 🤣 Thanks so much for watching!!

Should go to Atlas Bistro in Scottsdale. Really great place.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Ohhh, awesome. Thanks so much for the recommendation! 😁

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

Oh my!! Madrigal does NOT mean magical!! I am so sorry! I don’t know how I got that in my brain! I was so sure of it that I didn’t even look it up 🤣

[@marybee4880]

Snooze is a chain! 🤷‍♀️

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

@@marybee4880 You are right, Mary! I thought it was a local chain (maybe 4 or 5 locations) in AZ because I had never heard of it. I just looked it up and they have over 40 locations, including in California where I live. I had no idea!! 😳 I really like to try new places and I don’t like going to national chains while traveling, like Habit, Taco Bell or Applebee’s - the places that are available everywhere. Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching! 😊

Its pronounced "TemPEE"

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

@@idaslapter5987 Hi Ida!! You aren’t the first correct me - it was a definite giveaway that I was a newbie in town!! 😂 Thanks so much for watching and for commenting!

[@idaslapter5987]

@@teresaelling-peacefulhome i'm glad your video randomly popped into my feed! I live in the east burbs of Phx. I have never heard of Cocino Madrigal before... so I googled it and unfortunately they are closed now. 😢 It says "temporarily" but oftentimes restaurants never re-open.

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

@ Such a lovely place to live! That is so sad about the restaurant. I hope they will reopen - they have quite a reputation to live up to! 😁

Snooze sucks

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

@@marcmenton8063 Hey, Marc, I just found out this week Snooze is a chain. They have over 40 locations, including in California where I live. We usually don’t go to chains while traveling, but we had never heard of it. Well, our experience there was great, feel free to share details about why you don’t like it. Could be very helpful for others. Thanks for watching!!
