Rustic-chic setting featuring paintings of cowboys, roughhewn chairs, and the occasional stuffed jackalope. Service is friendly, and generally faultless. Excellent wine list is a draw, as is a menu of gourmet comfort fare featuring fresh local ingredients culled daily from the area’s farmers’ markets. The grilled squid salad and the ricotta gnocchi are signature appetizers. Signature entrees include the homemade pastas and “Nonni’s Sunday chicken.” The restaurant closes on Sundays and Mondays during the non-snowbird season, so be sure to call ahead.

  • 2009 | Best Comfort Food

    Is it dinnertime yet? The mouthwatering dishes at Rancho Pinot remind us of the kinds of things Mom used to make — if only Mom had been a gourmet cook. Chef Chrysa Robertson dreams up food that's rustic and soul-satisfying, putting the finest... More >

  • 2008 | Best Place to Take a Slow Foodie

  • 2007 | BEST RESTAURANT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

    It seems like Tom and Chrysa Kaufman opened their charming eatery just yesterday, but believe it or not, it's been almost 14 years since this New Times favorite was the buzziest new restaurant in town. Plenty of accolades have followed (including... More >

  • 2004 | BEST WESTERN SWING

    Longtime fixtures on the Phoenix culinary scene, Tom and Chrysa Kaufman have created a low-key restaurant that winks at Western kitsch. From the Mexican kitchen altar to the Lon Megargee prints on the wall, the art is nearly as sly as the gourmet... More >

  • 2003 | BEST GOURMET RESTAURANT

    At some point, the meaning of "gourmet" has been lost. It's come to mean crazy, wild concoctions, with bizarre foods and even weirder combinations. But actually, gourmet means "a connoisseur of fine food and drink." So there's no better... More >

    These days, it's not too hard to come by restaurants that feature some kind of local, seasonal produce, but Slow Food isn't just about an approach to cooking — it's a full-on worldview. So if you're looking for a place to show your favorite Slow Food fanatic a good time, head to Rancho Pinot Grill, where you'll be in like-minded company. After all, chef Chrysa Robertson helped launch the local convivium (in Slow Food-speak, that's the Phoenix chapter of the international organization) and has led the way in celebrating organic ingredients from local sources. Rancho Pinot's menu is both homey and effortlessly sophisticated, with favorites such as ricotta gnocchi with rustic meat sauce, heritage Berkshire pork short ribs braised with hominy, cotija cheese, and radish-cabbage slaw, and grilled lamb chops on flageolet beans with roasted garlic and preserved lemon. Dishes like that are easy to love, no matter what your philosophy.
