Zingara

Absolutely amazing! Morning sandwich was the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. Highly recommend to locals and anyone visiting the area!

Great new wine bar in North Scottsdale. Totally different food than most places and a unique selection of wine I’ve never seen before. I haven’t tried it for coffee in the morning, but it looked good as well. Will be back!

Zingara is a new, exciting, and unique coffee shop & market (including "gifts for the gourmet") that transforms into a wine bar and bistro at 4:00, offering a special menu of French & Italian sharables, Spanish tapas, exquisite solo choices, and charcuterie boards. Every detail is authentic and exceptional!

We visited yesterday just before sunset, which was beautiful, and the ambiance of the place was wonderfully welcoming and relaxing.

On the "Small Plates" side of the menu, you'll find options ranging from "Crispy Fingerlings" with garlic, rosemary & Parmigiano for $9 to a a luxurious Caviar Service with crème fraiche and chives for $250. And there's everything in between, including an elevated grilled cheese, steak tartare, and bone marrow.

Since there were just two of us, we opted for two salumi and two cheeses for a charcuterie board. It came with a delightful bowl of marinated olives that had the special mingling flavors of garlic, spices, and citrus. The tiny pieces of orange added a perfectly balanced zest to each bite. For a salumi choice, I highly recommend the Mortadella al Pistacchio, a mild salami (resembling bologna in size) with pistachios inside, thinly sliced into a generous mound of delicate slices. One of our favorite cheeses was the 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano, which paired wonderfully with the focaccia bread and our wine. Next time, I plan to order one or more soft cheeses, and I would be ecstatic if it came with their fantastic crostini!

Let me tell you how to get that crostini and the "menu must-have" – the Polpette! To call these meatballs is a huge understatement. There are three of them, made with American Wagyu among other ingredients. They are incredibly tender and delicious, served in a fantastic tomato sugo/sauce, accompanied by three crostini that are the best I've had anywhere. I hope they offer them for purchase in their market area to complement charcuterie when entertaining at home.

Speaking of which, the Zingara market section is where you'll find absolutely everything to create an exquisite charcuterie board. They also have wonderful dinner solutions like American Wagyu burgers, Gnocchi, and much more in the refrigerated section, serving as your local market for organic milk, a carton of eggs, a fresh grab-and-go yogurt with fruit and granola, or special juice.

On the shelves, you'll discover unique gourmet finds like coffee-infused syrup, raspberry jam to tomato jam, cinnamon snickerdoodle almond & cashew butter, and a vast array of incredible olive oils.

This is the perfect place to find extraordinary and chic gifts for someone, or even yourself. They offer gorgeous items for the ultimate in entertaining.

I thought about something that would be cute when going over to a friend’s home. Instead of bringing the ‘ole bottle of wine, take a "pairing" of the "Di Vino" hand soap with one of their beautiful kitchen towels, along with a special cheese.

If I haven't already captured your interest with my description of the "meatballs" and how extraordinary they were, let me tell you that Zingara is owned by Hera Ambrosio of the Sodano family, who (fortunately for Scottsdale) moved from Sorrento, Italy in 1993 to bring us the famous Casa Mia Italian Restaurant and subsequently CM2 Pizza next door.

Hera was there, ensuring everyone enjoyed their dinner, and her lovely daughter was there to seat us and assist in the market area.

I plan to return next week for breakfast (available until 4:00 for us late risers, haha) to enjoy one of their specialty coffee drinks and savor a French Galette or the Quiche of the Day. I'm thrilled to make this my favorite spot."

Amazing coffee shop and market- excellent quality matcha, coffee, and oatmilk. Coming from the UK- I was happily surprised they had minor figures oat milk! Highly suggest the avocado toast, it had a lovely feta emulsion and at a decent price, too.

Zingara is Open !! We went in for coffee and were pleased with the choices, service and quality of coffees - Tiana was excellent!

Looking forward to making this our local coffee house

We live locally, so will keep you updated after things settle down - the opening has been fun and a huge success!
