Description

New and improved version of the restaurant that won so much acclaim nestled next to the legendary, dearly departed Long Wong's. Now located in the historic Casa Loma building, right in front of Hayden Square, the space is large and airy, with wooden floors and exposed brick walls. A full bar and expanded menu are on tap, with an assortment of Mediterranean/Italian dishes, such as rigatoni puttanesca, agnolotti Boa, and the best spaghetti and meatballs this side of Redendo's in Fountain Hills. The lumache Boa, escargot in tomato sauce, is a must, as is the bruschetta. Tiramisu is just so-so, but you can't have everything.

  • 2010 | Best Fried Chicken

    What's not to love about a chef with skills and a sense of humor Payton Curry has become Caffe Boa's biggest asset, a guy with the courage to take a classic, all-American favorite -- fried chicken -- and make it better. That he did, all right, and he even dubbed it Payt-N-Bake Fried Chicken, just so nobody forgets who came up with such a succulent dish. He uses 10-day-cured, all-dark meat, free-range bird, and then uses a secret weapon for extra crispiness: duck fat. You heard it... More »

  • 2009 | Best Place to Take a Wine Geek

    Caffe Boa is an unexpected delight amid the college-town bustle of Mill Avenue. It's a stylish bistro with a grown-up atmosphere, a Mediterranean-inspired menu that celebrates seasonal, organic ingredients, and a serious attitude about wine. Owners Jay and Christine Wisniewski, both certified sommeliers, have created a Wine Spectator Award-winning program that features a few dozen wines by the glass, intriguing flights, and a huge selection of bottles from around the world, including a...

  • 2006 | BEST HAPPY HOUR

    We love the concept behind happy hour -- cheap drinks and eats and a way to avoid traffic for a while after work. But the reality of happy hour usually sucks: We can only consume so many Buffalo wings and Bud Lights. Which is why Caffe Boa is our favorite place to blow off steam, and enjoy libations after a long workweek. Glasses of wine from the cafe's impressive list are half-price (try the Sauvignon Blanc Dry Lands from New Zealand). Bread and oil is served free, and, combined with a fe... More »

  • 2005 | BEST ESCARGOTS

    In the States, eating escargots usually means chewy, tasteless gastropods so overwhelmed by garlic and butter that you might as well be gnawing on someone's shoelace. Why are these terrestrial mollusks so gross here and so exquisite overseas Well, for one reason, the snails you get in Europe tend to be fresher, and we suspect that some of the black, rubbery escargots restaurateurs are palming off to us here in the ol' U.S. of A. are so tasteless that loads of garlic and butter are the...

    It's expensive, but it really is the best gourmet Italian I've had in Tempe.
