Cowboy Ciao in Phonenix Airport was a great place to waste the clock between airplane connections. Drinks were competitive to everywhere. The menu seemed to be at extremes... I didn't know what to think of the fusion.
It didn't seem to be American or Italian food. Gourmet, definitely. My order (charred shrimp & mozzarella salad) was overpriced, but was a recommended special, and surprisingly exceptional as it kept me satisfied through delays and final flight.
And the decor was weird... Yet, comfortable. Big screen HDTV's for sports. Friendly ambiance and great customer service.
