They really have a great chef here and I can't say enough about the wonderful dining experience we had. This was the best meal we had during our entire stay in Scottsdale. Seth was our waiter, and he could not have delivered better service. He knew the menu inside and out, offered suggestions, and was always two steps ahead of anything we might need. We started with the grilled calamari, which was light, unique and prepared perfectly. We both ordered the New York strip loin and we were surprised by the heavy portioned sides and the quality cut of meat. Our food was plated nicely, at perfect temp and full of flavor. We finished with the Tiramisu for dessert and were brought glasses of champagne to toast to our anniversary. (Very thoughtful gesture) Every employee in that restaurant made us feel welcome. The chef touched our table twice, as well as the manager. We left happy, full, and raving about our experience. We will be back to Scottsdale and this restaurant will be first on our list. One surprising note: we asked several FireSky staff members where we could get fabulous dinners during our stay. Not one suggested Taggia. We took this as a bad sign and put off trying the restaurant until our last night in town when we decided we didn't feel like venturing out. Our only regret this week was not trying it first! They should most definitely be promoting their home base restaurant.
