    Gelato: Stracciatella, Pistachio
    James M.

    A Richard Blais Itali-⁠zona Kitchen * Globalist breakfast buffet (2x) Sat outside, good experience, friendly staff * Carry out (2x) 1) Rigatoni "alla Zozzona" guanciale, sausage, tomato, chili, and pecorino romano Portion could be a little bigger Sauce is extremely salty with excessive garlic Best part was the included Focaccia bread, not the pasta 2) Gelato (2 scoops, $9) Two orders: Stracciatella, Pistachio

    La Zozzona is truly a hidden gem of Arizona. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with kindness and respect. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and all of the workers and staff are some of the most hospitable and best in all of Arizona. The head chef, JR, is amazing and curates one of the best menus in the valley. The homemade focaccia melts in your melt and the hamachi crudo was the freshest I've ever had. The chicken parm was recommended and you can never go wrong with a spicy rigatoni. The beet salad was so fresh and the potatoes were the perfect side. While you will be so full for dinner, you can never go wrong with a table-side tiramisu. Be sure to stay awhile and enjoy a cocktail at the bar, fire place area upon entering the restaurant, or listen to the live music before and after enjoying your meal. And, definitely be sure to order a cocktail off their new build your own spritz bar. My elderflower spritz was one of the best cocktails I've ever had! Truly cannot wait to become a regular at La Zozzona and make it my new go-to restaurant in Arizona.

    What a romantic elegant restaurant. Service was amazing and we were even greeted with a complimentary glass of champagne. They have a nice patio to enjoy this amazing weather, light is dim and ambiance is moody. The apps and food were delicious. So glad we came here. There house made Focaccia bread was heavenly. I would definitely be back.

    Service great. Too many kids at dinner with their parents. Food was overall good, but the chicken parmigiana was returned. The chicken was like rubber.

    We dined here earlier in the year and all was amazing. Went last night because Richard Blais was there. Our wait person, Robert was fantastic. Our glass of champagne was delicious- tasting g a bit of peach. My husband got the smoked old fashioned with wagyu washed Makers Mark was on point with a sweet smoke and clear ice. We shared the pesto burratta and the squash blossom, both were delicious. The bread service is nice too, if you like focaccia. For our salad, we each got a different option. I got the fig and beet, which was so delicious! The little green salad had a lovely organic egg and was nice. Sadly the main dishes did not live up to how delicious the rest of the meal was. I had the mushroom gnocchi was gummy and I had a hard time chewing it. The description said it came with mushroom ragu, but the mushrooms were hidden under black kale which was bitter. Needed more sauce. My son had the cioppino- the scallops were over done and rubbery, the sauce was thick like a spaghetti sauce, not a nice tomato broth. My husband had the blackened swordfish steak. It was overcooked and dry. We had the tiramisu for dessert and it was great as always. Disappointing main dishes but the rest was amazing so we will be back.

    Once again, another fabulous meal!! I love how the menu is changed up a bit, but my favorites are still there. You are always guaranteed the perfect meal, starting with the complimentary champagne to the amazing servers that dote on you!!! The restaurant is beautiful with the most welcoming atmosphere. Kudos to Chef JR!! Can't wait to come back!!!

    Such a great experience. I have been wanting to try a Richard Blaise restaurant for some time and La Zozzona did not disappoint. The ambiance was modern but comfortable. Service was impeccable and everybody was very helpful and made us feel special. The food was amazing. The squash blossoms were some of the best I've ever had. The pasta was delicious and the chickens sauce was so rich as flavorful. This is a great restaurant for a date night or any special occasion.

    Entrance to La Zozzona

    We were very excited to try La Zozzona as it is a new Richard Blais restaurant in Scottsdale! This is a combination of two visits to La Zozzona within 30 days. The staff and servers during both visits were outstanding. During our visit on January 28th, our server Adam, helped make my birthday extra special by offering to take our group photos and bring a delicious birthday desert for my special day. For an appetizer, we ordered the Olive oil and sea salt burrata which was served with crispy bread. Unfortunately, although beautifully presented, it seamed very plain compared to other burrata dishes typically ordered at other restaurants. We found the pasta dishes such as the Rigatoni alla Zozzona very good. A separate visit, we were offered A feast of the seven fishes dishes. My husband ordered the Seafood Risotto which included Spring Mussels, Prawns, Arborio and Foraged Mushrooms. I ordered the Bucatini Cacio e Pepe. Both dishes were good. I wouldn't say they were my absolute favorites Italian dishes I've had but it was a nice dining experience. As many high end restaurants, the dishes are small portioned. They have a beautiful small bar in the entrance of the restaurant with a fireplace. Come in early and have a cocktail before dinner. I would recommend dining before sunset so you can enjoy a view of all the cacti in the restaurant courtyard.

    3.75 stars. New to the Hyatt and has been open 5 weeks. Waitress is diligent and serious about their duties, but is still quite green when it comes to basic dining service. They were incredibly friendly and conversational though which is a plus. The restaurant sommelier took it upon their self to approach us to recommend wines however the wines we wound up with were a touch anticlimactic concerning the story and price. We received complimentary focaccia-like bread with chimichurri sauce but the bread was very hard and possibly a touch stale. Not bouncy like a fresh focaccia, unfortunately. We also were given a welcome-in flute of chilled Prosecco, which I loved so much. I wish I'd gotten another glass of that instead of the wine. The rest of our food was appetizing. We got the Caprese Salad and Stuffed Clams to start. The salad was surprisingly a stuffed green tomato, juicy and delicious, with fresh mozzarella inside and drizzled with quality olive oil and balsamic reduction. I loved this dish. The stuffed clam was also good however a smidge dry. The charred lemon really made that dish. The Aqua Pazza was a seafood dish with a delicate tomato broth. All the seafood was prepared perfectly. My spouse enjoyed the filet of beef and remarked that the addition of the truffled Alfredo sauce really amped up the experience. Our toddler had the buttered noodles and I have to say it was the most posh and sophisticated thing she's probably eaten at a restaurant. Homemade noodles and a generous amount of velvety smooth butter sauce. Kudos to La Zozz for serving this as a kids dish! The ambiance in the evening was dark, a bit sexy, and private. However, I could see some renovation equipment (ladders, shovels, etc) leaned up against the outside window, and I feel this would be a bit distracting to the overall vibe if it were daylight hours. I'd recommend to folks staying at the Hyatt if in the mood for a modern Italian dinner.

    French fries!!!! Omg. Decadent and delish.

    We went here for my father's birthday and had a fabulous dinner! It is a brand new room in the newly remodeled Hyatt hotel and it is gorgeous! All of the staff were so friendly and our server was excellent. We sat down and they greeted us with cards wishing a happy birthday as well as a glass of bubbles to start. Excellent touch! The attention to detail is there and it is so refreshing to sit at a table and experience hospitality the way it should be done. The food was excellent. We started with the mozzarella, meatballs and beet salad. All delicious. Next we had raviolis. I had the swordfish which was superb!! Mom had the veal and my father had a seafood dish. Don't forget the fries! Last but not least, was the amazing tiramisu. The best I have ever had! Hands down. We are coming back and I am taking better pictures. Btw- the Prosecco was fabulous. Next time, I am taking better pictures and not driving. Cheers and welcome to the neighborhood.

    The newly renovated resort and new restaurant has a modern and sleek look. Our server was great and very attentive, as well as the bussers. HOWEVER...the young, blonde hostess was incredibly dismissive and rude on the evening of January 5. She told us there was a 20 minute wait, however there were only 4 tables of patrons throughout the restaurant. Because of the wait I immediately made an online reservation and went back up to the hostess and was able to be seated. She then proceeded to seat us in the corner by the exit, although there were plenty of tables in the middle of the restaurant. The impression she gave was petty games and superiority.

    Came here to celebrate my birthday and the entire staff here went above and beyond to make the occasion special. From the delicious drinks, to great starters and entrees, everything here was top tier. Our server made some great recommendations and the burrata here is some of the best I've had in Arizona. They brought out a sparkler on the dessert which was a fun surprise too. Definitely a great spot to enjoy a nice meal out and I will be back again soon

    I found myself in Scottsdale, Arizona looking for dinner and wound up at La Zozzona. The "hotel restaurant" is never my first choice because they're usually not good and overpriced. But La Zozzona is clearly the exception. One by one, the dishes came out - house made Foccaccia with olive oil and pesto, fried squash blossoms, crispy but not greasy, Roman Fry Bread and meatballs, but my favorite was the Mozzarella Stick, which is more like a Mozarella Bat because it was the size of my forearm - dipped into a perfect marinara sauce, I would have been happy if that was my entire dinner. But the highlight was Neptune's Swordfish Chop - a HUGE slab of swordfish on the bone, blackened with black lemon, garlic, black pepper, oregano, sicilian olives, cherry tomato and capers. Each bite was soft and tender, not fishy, and perfectly cooked - the last bite was as juicy as the first. Very inventive and tasty. And a visit with Richard Blaise himself never hurts - he graciously came by our table and even took us to the kitchen to introduce his staff. They're awesome! Shout out to Paul who helped us through the menu and even took a group photo of us. If you ever find yourself in Scottsdale, Arizona, you should try La Zozzona - it's well worth it!

Normally their lunch sandwich special comes with fries but you can sub it out for the 3 main sides of the day. Options were corn, mashed potatoes, or broccolini. I was craving asparagus or broccolini so it was perfect for me. The greens were lightly charred but crunchy and soft at the same time. Lunch portions of the sandwich also weren't massive. The sandwich had a white fish breaded and fried. The patty was decent without being thick or oily. Good amount of tartar sauce spread on it as well. If the sandwich was any bigger then work afterwards wouldn't have been fun. Oh, also got a delicious dirty martini to pair with the food. Gin served down and it was made to perfection! Including the drink and an $8 tip the total for lunch was $48. Which isn't horrible. Been craving oysters recently so probably will be back for dinner and get an appetizer and dessert too. Good service, fresh seafood, and clean restaurant. I'll be back!

I have tried the Pornstar Martini, Illicit Affair, and Smell the F*@king Roses (my favorite). The appetizers we tried were the tuna tartare and the hibachi crudo. Superb! The entrees are delicious although the lamb chops and the short rib bolognese were a bit salty. The bolognese is definitely different than the typical. The branzino and filet mignon were tasty. Sides including the whipped potatoes and Mac and cheese were also good. We also enjoyed the coconut cream pie with a birthday candle for dessert, but I will say for the price we paid for the entire meal, the dessert should have been comped for the birthday. They also charge an extra service fee that can be removed if requested. No reason to charge additional fees on top of everything you pay already.

Their meats were cooked to tempt, but somehow just end up tasting burnt and dry on the outside which was unappetizing. If you want real tender, juicy meats all around I would suggest going to Brassiere Melrose on 7th Ave and Camelback. Their filet was too die for and I haven't found another yet that can beat theirs at Brassiere Melrose. We will be back for Society Swans other goodies tho! We enjoyed their sangria and their petite martinis and their atmosphere. Oh and we also tried their Tuesdays Tastings menu which was a 3 course menu for $55. They do give you an option to pair it with a wine or cocktail however that it not including in the $55 price. But was definitely a fun option to try more of their menu!
