john... trust me. take the drive down to chandler(about 30 minutes from scottsdale) and eat at Ninja. Get the volcano roll. i can not stress this enough. ask Imacsae, Accasbel, Shanna. i think ninja is the unofficial AZXC shushi joint.

if not Buca di beppo on scottsdale rd in "old town" scottsdale has good italian food and a great atmosphere
