Mastro’s is the gold standard of Arizona steakhouses, and even though the restaurant now has locations in nine states, it started right here in North Scottsdale. This is where you can enjoy some of the top restaurant service in the state as well as a great steak, some incredible wine and most importantly, the infamous butter cake, which might be the world’s best dessert.
