In Old Town Scottsdale you will find a revolving line up of cafes, gastropubs, and wine bars. Change may be a constant, but Cowboy Ciao remains a long-time favorite foodie destination in this part of town. One of my favorite Italian restaurants is owned by a fellow Italian Franco. He is a native of Florence, Italy. Franco's Italian Caffe offers authentic Northern Italian food. You will also want to explore and visit the wonderful shops! One of the largest specialty shops in Old Town is the Gilbert Ortega Indian Jewelry and Gallery, one of the city's largest purveyors of fine Native American jewelry, arts, textiles, crafts, and furniture. Most visitors find this area charming and so fun to explore and live.
