East Tucson Restaurants

Truly a gem of Tucson. This was our first visit, so we didn't know what to expect. Based on meals at other highly regarded Tucson restaurants I didn't expect much, to be honest. Frankly, we were blown away. Everything we ordered was delicious, and a few items were truly something else. We ordered the charred broccoli expecting a fairly straightforward, and basic, starter. What we got was a dish of such complexity that we were taken aback. Another highlight was the rosemary olive oil cake. Usually olive oil cake is one of those hip menu items that never lives up to the hype. This cake was the exception. It was so moist and flavorful. When I took a bite with the cake, cream, and dark maraschino cherries (Luxardo?), it was a mouthful of heaven. We seriously considered extending our stay in Tucson one more day simply to return for dinner tomorrow. Alas, it was unrealistic. But we do plan on stopping in the next time we're in town.

The ribs are always perfectly prepared. Wait staff respond quickly to any request.

We always enjoy going to Doughbird! Everything on their menu is amazing. Service is outstanding

Undoubtedly, one of the best Italian restaurants in town. The teramisu is to die for!

Excellent food and service! We sat in one of the interior booths, and it was private and intimate. Also very reasonably priced. We were even served by Renee - who gave us recommendations. Definitely would recommend!
