- Fire at Will
Dom and Holly Ruggiero bring sex appeal to this classy neighborhood restaurant, offering great cocktails to go with elevated comfort food dishes such as lamb tartare, Scotch egg, mac and cheese and one of the city’s best burgers.
4912 E. Shea Blvd., 480-207-1819, eatfireatwill.com - The Americano
This sexy steakhouse speaks with an Italian accent, so imagine Wagyu meatballs, pappardelle with lamb, prime beef and a terrific burger. It wouldn’t be a hardship to hang out at the modern bar sipping excellent cocktails, either.
17797 N. Scottsdale Rd., 480-573-0001, theamericanorestaurant.com - Elements
Sleek design, comfy patios, quaffable margaritas and sunset views draw sweethearts and singles to this sexy Camelback Mountain retreat. The seasonal American menu has an Asian spin, and the results – i.e., Wagyu and ginger dumplings – are wonderful.
