Zingara 11475 North 136th Street, Scottsdale, AZ 85259

"LOVE EVERYTHING about this place. Finally a neighborhood coffee, lunch, dinner spot that has something for everyone. The brand new shop and design is gorgeous with a very comfortable atmosphere. They have inside and outside seating. The pastries are baked fresh every morning with lots of variety. They also have a couple of gluten free bread options. I am very picky when it comes to my coffee and the coffee here is 10/10. All of the their drinks on the menu are different than any other coffee shop. They have the best croissant options that are so amazing when they are warm along with other morning pastry options. They also a grocery section filled with imported pastas, sauces, olive oils, from Italy. The staff are so friendly and kind, after you go a couple of time they will remember your name and drink order which adds a very personal experience. If you have not tried this yet you are missing out! Thanks Zingara for treat us like family every time we walk through the door. :)"

"Beautiful cafe, the staff are very sweet. Had a rose matcha latte made with a rose syrup and a rose infused whip cream with petals on it, made in house by the lovely manager Tiana. The avocado toast with a feta spread were so tasty as well."

"The atmosphere inside is very modern and fresh. The menu offers a variety of shareable plates and dishes that pair well with wine. They also have a coffee bar in the back and a fridge full of other goodies."

"Great new wine bar in North Scottsdale. Totally different food than most places and a unique selection of wine I’ve never seen before. I haven’t tried it for coffee in the morning, but it looked good as well. Will be back!"

"Zingara is a new, exciting, and unique coffee shop & market (including "gifts for the gourmet") that transforms into a wine bar and bistro at 4:00, offering a special menu of French & Italian sharables, Spanish tapas, exquisite solo choices, and charcuterie boards. Every detail is authentic and exceptional! We visited yesterday just before sunset, which was beautiful, and the ambiance of the place was wonderfully welcoming and relaxing. On the "Small Plates" side of the menu, you'll find options ranging from "Crispy Fingerlings" with garlic, rosemary & Parmigiano for $9 to a a luxurious Caviar Service with crème fraiche and chives for $250. And there's everything in between, including an elevated grilled cheese, steak tartare, and bone marrow. Since there were just two of us, we opted for two salumi and two cheeses for a charcuterie board. It came with a delightful bowl of marinated olives that had the special mingling flavors of garlic, spices, and citrus. The tiny pieces of orange added a perfectly balanced zest to each bite. For a salumi choice, I highly recommend the Mortadella al Pistacchio, a mild salami (resembling bologna in size) with pistachios inside, thinly sliced into a generous mound of delicate slices. One of our favorite cheeses was the 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano, which paired wonderfully with the focaccia bread and our wine. Next time, I plan to order one or more soft cheeses, and I would be ecstatic if it came with their fantastic crostini! Let me tell you how to get that crostini and the "menu must-have" – the Polpette! To call these meatballs is a huge understatement. There are three of them, made with American Wagyu among other ingredients. They are incredibly tender and delicious, served in a fantastic tomato sugo/sauce, accompanied by three crostini that are the best I've had anywhere. I hope they offer them for purchase in their market area to complement charcuterie when entertaining at home. Speaking of which, the Zingara market section is where you'll find absolutely everything to create an exquisite charcuterie board. They also have wonderful dinner solutions like American Wagyu burgers, Gnocchi, and much more in the refrigerated section, serving as your local market for organic milk, a carton of eggs, a fresh grab-and-go yogurt with fruit and granola, or special juice. On the shelves, you'll discover unique gourmet finds like coffee-infused syrup, raspberry jam to tomato jam, cinnamon snickerdoodle almond & cashew butter, and a vast array of incredible olive oils. This is the perfect place to find extraordinary and chic gifts for someone, or even yourself. They offer gorgeous items for the ultimate in entertaining. I thought about something that would be cute when going over to a friend’s home. Instead of bringing the ‘ole bottle of wine, take a "pairing" of the "Di Vino" hand soap with one of their beautiful kitchen towels, along with a special cheese. If I haven't already captured your interest with my description of the "meatballs" and how extraordinary they were, let me tell you that Zingara is owned by Hera Ambrosio of the Sodano family, who (fortunately for Scottsdale) moved from Sorrento, Italy in 1993 to bring us the famous Casa Mia Italian Restaurant and subsequently CM2 Pizza next door. Hera was there, ensuring everyone enjoyed their dinner, and her lovely daughter was there to seat us and assist in the market area. I plan to return next week for breakfast (available until 4:00 for us late risers, haha) to enjoy one of their specialty coffee drinks and savor a French Galette or the Quiche of the Day. I'm thrilled to make this my favorite spot.""
