Virtu

Virtu is a hidden gem in Scottsdale's Old Town, serving a worldwide take on Mediterranean flavors. Their menu changes frequently to reflect the best of seasonal vegetables, giving the restaurant the distinct sense of an upscale farmer's market, if farmer's markets served beautifully prepared food and blended a killer cocktail menu. Chef Gio Osso is a long-time Phoenix favorite, having worked in a number of award-winning local kitchens before founding Virtù Honest Craft in 2013, where his ever-changing menu takes a modern, global approach to his Mediterranean family heritage.

Expect a roaming, Mediterranean-inspired menu that changes almost weekly, if not everyday, at Virtù Honest Craft, the Machiavellian word for reaching greatness. The Virtù family's newest eatery is Pizzeria Virtù. This property held Grazie Pizzeria & Winebar, which was Chef Gio's first employment offer when he relocated to Arizona in 2002. When the location became available after 18 years, it simply made sense for him to return to this pizza and make it his own.

Chef Gio felt that the key to Pizzeria Virtù's success would be to embrace the Napoletana heritage of pizza baking. Chef Gio received his training from the VPN Americas and was recognized as a pizzaiolo by the AVPN (Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana), the regulatory body that protects Napoletana style pizza traditions. The menu of Pizzeria Virtù changes frequently while following to the strict standards of the AVPN, keeping Pizzeria Virtù in the same tradition that has made Virtù Honest Craft a staple in the valley. They're using pizza to create a remarkable dining experience!
