Local Bistro is a quaint restaurant in the North Scottsdale area. We decided to give it a try based on the positive Yelp reviews. Started off with the popular Drunk Bread. It was decent. Basically, bread flavored with white wine and you dip it in a skillet of melted cheese. If you're a cheese lover, you'll probably enjoy this dish. Otherwise, I found it to be somewhat too heavy on the wine, which detracted from the actual bread flavor. For entrees, we had the truffle risotto and the pork schnitzel (I think this was a special for the night). The truffle risotto was pretty good. Nicely cooked pasta. Pork Schnitzel was disappointing. I felt like this was only marginally better than Shake N' Bake.
The price is high for the quality of the food.
Decor is nice. However, be warned that the restaurant is very loud. The service was friendly, albeit on the slow end.
If you're looking for a local restaurant with a few signature dishes, Local Bistro is questionably worth a try. I just wasn't impressed enough to become a regular.
