Northwest Arizona Restaurants

1. La Vita Dolce

This informal, bustling, family-run restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating serves reliably tasty, straightforward Italian fare, from classic pastas and grills—spaghetti and meatballs, portobello-mushroom ravioli, veal piccata—to a small but creative selection of thin-crust pizzas. The Maui Waui pizza with capicola ham, sweet pineapple, and marinara sauce is a local favorite. Appetizers are half-off and beer and wine are discounted during the daily happy hour (3–6 pm).
