Visiting downtown phoenix, night out with the friends or looking for a lavish date night. You have to swing by Nook Kitchen to dine on some Pizza with Pizzaz. The elaborate restaurant is inside the Hilton Garden Inn. The swanky modern entrance is a small representation of the classy feel when you walk through the door.
My first time experience was an invite for a private party a few days ago during the early evening. I received a warm welcome from the Hostess and a man that I met later in the evening name Nick. The venue was not too pack but had a lively appeal. Now if I could hire a designer to makeover my home I would hire the person who decorated this venue. It is AMAZING. The modern Italian look with cool vibes. The area where our party was had a unique setup. A large TV, plenty of seating, dim lighting and candles. Perfect area to hold that would hold a small group of friends while they enjoy themselves. The main area had tables perfectly positioned where you did not feel cramped and could enjoy your food. There was a large long table that with unique chairs that seem to be entertaining a business group who truly enjoyed themselves. The bar was defiantly entertaining. You can tell the bar has a nice night life. Lastly the patio area was beautiful. As the venue is located on the corner you get to watch the downtown life while you dine.
Now to the good stuff. The food and drinks! What I like about the menu it is not overwhelming. There is the perfect variety for all types of taste buds. Along with a pleasing drink menu.
Our group started off with a variety of appetizers. I did not eat them personally however, the table did and they gobbled them right up. We ordered Burchettas, The Classic Caprase and Beer Braised Pork Butt. We split the NEW WORLD MARGHERITA and the PROSCIUTTO. The pizza was not only fresh but extremely tasty. You can tell the kitchen uses fresh ingredients. Not one complaint from our large party. The service made the overall experience a pleasure to dine here as well.
