| - Great place. Wonderful atmosphere and happy people (our bartender, Jeff, was funny and had a contagious laugh)! I 've lived in the neighborhood for years and X-tapa joes had to go!! Spiga has redone the outside and more importantly the inside. Looks and feels great, warm woods and rustic bricks. The menu has something for everyone. We started with the beef carpaccio, beet salad, and meatballs. The meatballs were something to rival my mothers and the beets were craftily stuffed with goat cheese. Next we shared a Spiga salad with a champagne vinaigrette, which was like a delightful anti pasta salad. I had the bolognese, meaty and fresh flavors. my guest had the short ribs, which were full of flavor, smooth polenta, hot and delicious. Good news, we took some of both home to make room for desert. Choose the bouchon for desert, it was very rich, but amazingly delightful with flavors warm chocolatey flavors. All in all...A huge upgrade to the neighborhood and a much needed Italian spot in north Scottsdale. We will be back for sure!! Great job to the owners and management team!
