As one of the country’s culinary hotspots, Scottsdale offers some truly exceptional private dining experiences, from a cozy table for two to an intimate family dinner. Discover some of our favorite special-occasion spots that will make your evening shine.
Marcellino Ristorante
Let Chef Marcellino Verzino guide you through a private culinary journey during “Italian Roots,” a prix fixe dinner that is part of the Exceptionally Scottsdale program of curated, immersive experiences. You’ll dine in the privacy of the Chef’s Cove, a romantic, velvet-draped nook inside Marcellino Ristorante’s Old Town locale. After you are seated, Chef Marcellino, known for his hand-crafted pasta and exquisite entrées, will visit with you and then prepare a sumptuous five-course meal based on your individual preferences and dietary needs, complete with wine pairings for each course.
Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North
The Four Seasons offers two private dining experiences for discerning guests. Enjoy a “celestial picnic” for two under the glittering Sonoran Desert sky on your casita’s patio or one of the resort’s main lawns. For an additional charge, you can request an astronomer to guide you through the stars as you dine.
For a memorable breakfast, lunch or dinner in your casita, consult with one of the resort’s chefs for a personalized meal. The staff will go the extra mile to ensure an extraordinary feast by providing extra touches like fresh flowers and wine or cocktail recommendations.
Royal Palms Resort and Spa
Via Cappello at Royal Palms offers private “lovers’ corners” throughout the resort for an enchanted evening. Choose from intimate, candle-lit venues that include a secluded patio, hidden nook and a bell tower where you can enjoy a multi-course, chef-inspired meal. Add flowers (think scattered rose petals or a dazzling bouquet), a bottle of champagne or wine, and a private musician to create the perfect backdrop for a proposal, anniversary, birthday or special date.
The Americano
For a celebratory dinner with family or friends, book the Milano dining room at The Americano, an Italian-inspired steakhouse, and one of Scottsdale’s chicest restaurants. The Milano, situated just off the main dining room, seats up to 12 people and has floor-to-ceiling glass doors for a birds-eye view of the action. Choose from the standard dinner menu, a pre-set three- or four-course sharing menu, or The Americano’s staff will customize your culinary experience along with suggested wine and cocktail pairings.
Elements at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain
At elements, book an unforgettable dinner for up to 14 guests at Table XII, where Executive Chef Gregory James will tailor a four-course, prix-fixe meal for your group from options that include chicken consommé, beef carpaccio, Chilean sea bass, fire-roasted broccolini and Amarena cherry cheesecake. The private dining room has sliding glass doors that open into the kitchen so diners can gather around the chef’s island for an immersive, behind-the-scenes look.
