Owners Eric and Kathy Bower serve up homey Italian food at Amano Bistro, a charming neighborhood joint in an unlikely South Phoenix location -- next to a Shell station and across from an empty lot on Baseline Road. Fans come here for the cozy vibe, reasonable prices, and well-prepared classics, from a garlicky hand-tossed white pizza to lipsmacking prosciutto linguini packed with garlic and Parmesan. What's not to love?
We've spent the last year in the laboratory putting Phoenix under the microscope to reveal hundreds of specimens of the best culture, outdoor adventures, shopping, dining, and nightlife the city has t... More »
Sometimes Phoenix can be a tough nut to crack. When it comes to finding the most intriguing local restaurants, this is like few other cities. You can't just head downtown and stumble upon streets lined with eateries. You can't explore an area... More »

In their 30-year love affair with South Mountain, Eric and Kathy Bower have watched agriculture-heavy Baseline go the way of tract housing, but they embraced the blossoming neighborhood by opening Amano in 2004. This South Phoenix neighborhood haunt offers fresh Italian fare in a relaxing environment. Start with the rajas gratin, a creamy poblano chile-packed dish loaded with onions, garlic, mushrooms...

Orange trees and Japanese flower stands hugged a quiet two-lane road in the early years of South Phoenix. On that same road today, in a still-quiet lot across from a lone gas station, Amano Pizza Bistro is working to make some noise. Eric and Katy Bower opened their neighborhood bistro as a place where locals and foodies can chat over a glass or two of wine in the shadow of South Mountain. But enough relaxing: It's happy hour. Tuesday nights are half-off bottles of wine, Thursday nights are... More »
The first time we found Amano Pizza Bistro, we had to do a double take. Is this really what we think it is -- a bustling, hip hangout -- located near nothing in particular on a quiet stretch of Baseline Road? It's strange, but whenever we walk inside this family-owned spot, we're pleased to see it so busy. Here, the aroma of hot, bubbling pizzas fills the air and gets our tummies rumbling before we even catch a glimpse of a pie headed our way. Which grabs us more -- the lusty... More »
