Cowboy Ciao


The city of Scottsdale offers numerous places to wine and dine but some stand out as a cut above the rest.  Cowboy Ciao has been in business since 1997 and is still going strong attracting capacity crowds every night.  You might call the menu a bit eclectic, they call it "modern American with global influences".  One of the draws of this establishment is it's 1800 bottle (and more) wine list.  It comes to the table in book form.  My favorite thing on the menu is the Stetson Chopped Salad, a tasty combination of arugula, pearl couscous, sweet corn, pepitas, black currants, tomatoes, Asiago cheese and smoked salmon.  It's a salad so well know around these parts that it has it's own Facebook Page.

  10. I don't think any self-respecting cowboy would eat anything with salmon in it.

    But that's just me.

  11. Yum! That DOES sound like a good salad. But I suspect Catalyst is right. :)

  13. I checked the FB page and am impressed by the presentation of the salad. I take your (and others) word for it but it doesn't appeal to me very much. Guess I'd have to try it myself! The building in your photo definitely does appeal to me!
