Grayhawk Golf Club announced opening of Isabella’s Kitchen

Grayhawk Golf Club announced the opening of Isabella’s Kitchen in mid-October, 2012. Located in North Scottsdale across the street from the main entrance of Grayhawk Golf Club, Isabella’s Kitchen features handmade, homemade pizzas, pastas, salads, sandwiches, bruschetta, antipasti and much more—using fresh and seasonal ingredients. The appeal of the rustic, peasant-style cuisine rests on simple recipes and presentations allowing the fresh ingredients to take center stage. And, the wine menu is populated with a variety of California and Italian selections.

Styled after an Italian country bistro with an artisan’s edge, this vine-covered, 4,400-sq-ft roadside retreat houses several distinct indoor and outdoor seating options ranging from the traditional four-top to the unique fireside picnic tables on the Backyard Patio overlooking Grayhawk’s Talon course and the Valley below. The interior features a colorful, eclectic and electric blend of old and new with comfortable furnishings, numerous TVs, wood floors, wine barrels and rusted-steel accents. Isabella’s comfortable atmosphere welcomes diners to relax and stay for  a while. Dress code is casual with an average entrée price of $14. Take out is welcome.

The dining room opens to the courtyard and exterior terraces by way of several large roll-up doors. Isabella’s signature Blue Bar wraps around a corner of the building, allowing for outdoor seating and indoor seating.

The Backyard Patio offers open-air and covered outdoor seating near two signature fire pits, a huge grassy area, Talon course and Isabella’s Juniper-topped feature table overlooking it all. The patio also offers warm touches designed to encourage guests to relax and enjoy the ambiance. They may unwind on one of a handful of rocking chairs; or perhaps, fill a picnic basket with a selection of meats, cheeses and wine to enjoy while lounging on the neatly manicured lawn.

Built around a 150-year-old Saguaro cactus with its arms reaching through an overhead trellis, The Saguaro Room offers covered open-air dining with a fireplace and air conditioning.

Isabella’s Kitchen is located at 8623 East Thompson Peak Parkway, Scottsdale, AZ 85255. Call ahead at 480.502.3100 or to make a takeout order.
