    Short rib pasta
    Devin K.

    I'm actually pretty disappointed. I've been here a few times once for dine-in and a few times for take-out. The first time I got the short rib pasta it was to die for- creamy, tender, flavorful and everything was well balanced. The last few times the pasta was just eh, this most recent time the short rib wasn't even broken apart and it felt like the dish was just thrown together. Not sure if management or chefs have changed but it's not the same as it was a few years ago. Humble fries are really good topped with parmesan and chili flakes but aren't spicy. They come with some fun sauces too. Like a sweet sauce, ranch, and an aïoli. These have been consistently good every time! Location is really nice since it's in the Desert Ridge area and it's a nicer casual restaurant. Inside is smaller but there is a small seating area outside that either has fans in the summer or heater in the winter. Great place for a date night or a night out with the gals!

    All the food we ordered was delicious! We polished every plate. Only thing not pictured is the crispy Brussels sprouts which we demolished in seconds. Service was great and they took good care of us. The ambiance was nice and quaint. A little loud but not bad at all. Recommend. (My friends have gone 4 more times since I took them)

    My friend and I had a quick lunch at the bar. We each ordered a Yes Way Rose, spilt the Caprese and the This Lil Figgy Flatbread. We forgot how good the Caprese was. It was a hot day so the cold tomatoes, pesto, and mozzarella were perfect. They only serve the Caprese with one piece of Forno bread so we had to ask for more. It's so good to dip into the pesto olive oil marinade the tomatoes come in. Another great lunch at Humble!

    Grabbed a quick bite in between sips of wine during the Wilcox Wine Festival. Enjoyed some green chili chicken enchiladas and they hit the spot. I couldn't tell you how many I got since they were buried in lettuce. But they were tasty! The bar service was great and my food was out fairly quick.

    I'm not going to be humble with this one: Humble Bistro is an excellent restaurant. I've visited twice: once was my second meal upon moving to Phoenix and the other was most recently on a Thursday evening for dinner. Located on High Street in Desert Ridge, you'll be able to find free parking in the various lots surrounding this district or the garage. Since I'm within walking distance, I've been on foot both times I've visited. Ambiance (4.5/5): Humble Bistro is a good looking restaurant. It achieves a nice balance of being trendy and nice while still feeling homey and comfortable. I sat at a half booth upon my most recent visit. There's also a small patio. It's a relatively small restaurant and was packed almost to the brim on a Thursday evening. It can get a little loud, but not overly burdensome. And the lights are dimmed down a bit which creates a nice ambiance. Service (4.5/5): Our waitress did a fantastic job taking care of us. She was friendly (a smile goes a long way), attentive, and efficient. Which is all you hope for, especially when a restaurant is busy while you're dining there. I was trying to decide between three options, and she gave me her recommendation. And she was on target with it. Drinks (N/A): I had an Arnold Palmer, so not much to write home about. With that being said, they have a full bar, including a wine list and cocktails. Food (4.5/5): I had the chicken parm which is served with linguine. This is a classic Italian dish that I've had countless times over the years. And this was the best one I've ever had. The chicken cutlet was fried just right. The breading, tomato sauce, and mozzarella sauce were perfect. It's a relatively simple dish, but Humble Bistro somehow does things better than anywhere I've tried. And it was a filling portion too. While the menu is Italian-centric, there are new American options too. It's an interesting menu with a lot of appetizing choices. For the quality of the food you're getting, Humble Bistro is moderately priced. Which makes it a big winner in my book. There are a lot of good dining options on High Street, Humble Bistro might just be my favorite.

    Creme Brulee
    Raquel A.

    From the variety of seating options to the chandeliers to the copper ceiling, I really enjoyed the aesthetic of Humble Bistro. It gave me vibes of NYC, but I was told it was designed as a French Bistro. Whichever it was, it works! We were greeted as soon as we entered, and seated immediately as it wasn't too busy. (We usually eat early when we go out to avoid the crowds.) Our server, Alexis, was awesome! She was witty and charming, and chatted easily with every table. She's exactly the type of server every restaurant should have. We ordered the Forno Bread, Humble's answer to garlic bread - house made sourdough with garlic, cheese and olive oil, plus a kick of heat with calabrian flakes. Great flavor and plenty to share. The menu had so many delicious looking options. I decided on the Pasta Rosa and Meatballs - pappardelle pasta with 3 meatballs, whipped ricotta and fresh basil. Now I can be a bit picky about meatballs, but these were excellent. Pasta was perfectly cooked and the only thing I might have liked was a little more ricotta. (I'm a big fan of ricotta.) The portion size was perfect. So often it's a huge bowl of pasta and 2 measly meatballs, but this was an even ratio of pasta to meatballs and yet I still had enough to take home for tomorrow's lunch. Hubby had the Forno Short Rib, which is a 12hr braised short rib over Humble Fries. He loved it! The short rib was fork tender, and practically melted in my mouth (yes, I tried a little), and the fries are well cooked and full of flavor. Combined with the short rib - a flavor explosion! We also split a creme brulee for dessert. Delicious and a nice size for one, but as we were bordering on full from our meal, it was a perfect sharing size for us. We know we'll be back!

    Cremini Sacchetti
    Carter K.

    Humble bistro is located on High St in Desert Ridge which is a really cool street with restaurants, bars, and shops. This is such a great location to grab dinner and drinks with some of friends which is what brought us here! The server was very friendly and helped walk us through the menu and explained each dish to us. Ultimately, we knew we wanted to try the pastas which sounded amazing to us. The Cremini Sacchetti was our favorite! I loved the truffle taste in the brown butter sauce, the truffles weren't overpowering and complimented the pasta perfectly. We also loved the Short Rib which was braised for 12 hours and falling apart. I would love to go back and try the bruschetta dishes that they are known for!

    My second time here and it looks like they have a new addition to Humble Bistro which is called Humble Oysters and Bubble. Me and my coworker shared the appetizer meatballs , humble brussels, and gentlemen pizza. All were good except for the humble brussels, it tasted burnt so it had a bitter taste to it. But the meatballs were perfect seasoned and the pizza was full of different flavor profile from savory to sweet to a little spiciness to it.

    Short rib grilled cheese

    Girls night and this place was very nice. They have a cozy indoor/outdoor area and the music is pretty loud so I would suggest sitting outside if you don't like loud music. The service was good and they answered all of our questions and made some good suggestions, like the humble Caesar. My only complaint is that I wished the wings were crispier. The skin was a little too soft for my liking. Would like to come back here for date night and trying their pasta and pies!

    Short rib
    Ben H.

    Rule #1- always order the short rib. Ordered the short rib pasta dish at Humble Bistro. It was delicious. The atmosphere is nice, quiet off high street. I've been to Humble Pie before, I think Humble Bistro is better.

    $10 Froze
    Dawn B.

    Love love love all their food. Ingredients are fresh. They do a great job with their brussels sprouts, Caesar salad- my partner really enjoyed the Caesar dressing, and I switched it to their vinaigrette, sandwiches, pizza, hamburgers! It's pretty impressive when you can get all of that right! Their service- well... it's average at best (some visits have had terrible service to average service). The $10 froze is spectacular though so I still go back!

    Cinnamon roll
    Valerie G.

    I went to brunch with my family and I want to start with the fact that the service was great. Every person we interacted was so nice and they were so attentive. The savory foods were delicious. For instance, the wings were so tender and crispy. I do wish they would've tossed the wings in the sauce but overall delicious. The Humble Hash was so well rounded, very flavorful and filling. Just needed some salt and hot sauce to perfect it. The sweet plates were not it. The waffle seemed to be crystallized which just made it overly sweet and the cream on it had a lot of orange zest which overpowered the whole thing. Sometimes there's good in simplicity and I look for simplicity when it comes to a waffle. Same thing with the cinnamon roll. Over sweet and too much orange zest.

    Had a great evening at Humble Bistro! The food and service were outstanding. I had the lasagna, which was delicious- do not miss. The two sauces were amazing and it was so fresh. My husband had one of the pizzas, which he enjoyed. I would pass on the porno bread, which I thought was going to be crunchy crusty sour dough but was just flat bread. Next time I will get one of the salads because they looked so good at the table next to us. We also ordered a bottle of the Silk and Spice red blend wine based on another review (pretty good, next time I might try something else). FWIW, Wine bottles are 50% off if you take an unopened bottle to go. The atmosphere is bustling yet somehow intimate. We talked to the people sitting next to us but also felt alone. It is close quarters if it is something you care about. Our server (who was training another server) was great and offered a lot of great recommendations. I think we also saw the owner or manager who thanked us for coming. Love this spot. It's super busy so make sure you join their waitlist online before you go.

The setting does a lot of the work: a large, charming garden with plenty of outdoor seating that gives the whole place a cozy, almost village feel. Inside, there's a small bar that's tough to get into, but it's really your only option if you're walking in without a reservation and don't want to wait an hour or more. The kitchen is usually the highlight. With an Italian chef behind it, everything leans fresh and well executed--pizzas consistently shine, and the salads are just as strong. This time, though, the bolognese was a miss. The pasta was clearly overcooked, which stood out given how reliable the food typically is--felt more like an off night than the norm. The wine-by-the-glass list is solid and approachable, and the many awards feel well deserved overall. A diverse staff adds to the cosmopolitan yet relaxed atmosphere. Even with the misstep, Cibo holds its place as one of the better all-around dining experiences downtown.
