Alto ristorante e bar 7500 East Doubletree Ranch Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85258

"We had dinner here and it was OK. A bit disappointing because we were expecting better due to the resort status and price. We requested outdoor seating and got our wish, but outdoor seating is in the back and very plain and ordinary (like an afterthought) with no ambiance at all. We don't recommend outdoor seating here. The food was mediocre at best. The saving grace was the caprese salad which was very good. We ordered 2 pasta dishes and one was flavorless and the other very sour. The panna cotta was a little sour and it tasted like yogurt, so we don't recommend it. The almond flour cake had no flavor and if we were not told what it was, we wouldn't have guessed. The service was friendly, helpful, and attentive. If you eat here and self park, you can get your parking validated by the hostess. This restaurant is only open from Wednesday to Saturday, and reservations are recommended. We will not return."

"We came here for dinner on Saturday and had such an exceptional experience! We ended up sitting outside on the patio because the weather was so beautiful. We started with the Burrata appetizer and it was so fresh and creamy, it was so hard to even put it down! My husband got the Butchers Cut which was an incredibly tender, perfectly marbled ribeye. I had the Linguini with scallops, clams and truffle butter and it was SO good. The pasta is homemade in house every day and you can really tell in the quality of the flavor. It is the perfect date night spot when your craving a fancy Italian cuisine, plus after dinner you can even catch a gondola ride just a short walk from the restaurant. They also have a great kids menu, if you have the little ones with you! Also, our server was extra friendly and the entire staff was so super helpful and nice."

"Enjoyed a wonderful dinner here with my husband. The service was fantastic and the steak and charcuterie board were out of this world. Definitely coming back for the gondola and another dinner date!"

"Gorgeous atmosphere. Perfect portions of decadent food. Be prepared to spend some time here. Our reservations were for 6:15 & we left at almost 9. Gondola ride tickets for everyone in party complients of the restaurant."

"Wow. Amazing service from Whitney. Great artichoke app, amazing entrees for both my husband and I. Even bought us drinks for our early anniversary. Highly recommend."
