    A cool place! Was visiting the area and stopped by for cocktails with a group of friends. The inside had low lighting and played some cool music. The vibes were perfect for getting drinks with friends or going on a date. My drink was super tasty. Whenever I'm in the area again I will check out their food menu because the plates that passed by looked amazing. The service was great and accommodating for our group.

    We stopped for a night cap and ended up having few tasty appetizers. Beautiful setting. We sat at the bar. The bartenders were friendly and quite attentive. The food came fast. Very good selection of cocktails and wine. Overall very pleasant atmosphere. The music was not too loud and we could still carry a conversation among us. The parking is underground and make sure you validate your ticket at the bar.

    This place is beautiful ! We wanted to get there in time to catch the sunset and the view was amazing! The drinks and the appetizers were delicious. The service was great, we were even offered if we wanted a drink made specifically for our liking in case we wanted something that wasn't on the menu. Overall, I loved it, Highly recommend !

    Super swanky place for drinks. I am specifically talking about the upstairs bar portion. It's decorated well, chandeliers, nice outdoor furniture, beautiful views of camelback mountain. The sunset view is killer! The drinks were great, service was fantastic! I had the most attentive set of waitresses checking in on me. I was never left wanting. Tried the oysters and margarita pizza, both were solid and fresh. The food is quality, and I'll be back to colore more menu items. Definitely a great place to meet friends for drinks or take a first date. Lots of beautiful people here, nice people watching.

    This rooftop restaurant is the cutest!! Such a great view of the mountains and it has some cover so you're not hit with too much sun. The waitstaff was friendly and did a wonderful job of explaining the menu items to us. We ordered the artichoke hummus, which was so yummy. The artichokes are fried and taste amazing, I hadn't had anything like it. Also, the pita was fluffy and divine; you definitely need to order this dish when you go. We also ordered the honey-harissa chicken kabobs with a side of fries. The flavors were wonderful, though the chicken itself was a bit fatty, which I don't typically like. The cocktail menu is creative and has something for everyone. Will definitely be back soon :)

    What a gem this place! The ambience is perfect for intimate setting or gathering with small group of friends. We came around sunset on a weekend and expected it to be busy which it was, but were lucky to get bar seating for two right away. It is first come first serve so when weather is nice, expect a wait! The drinks were fun and fresh. We ordered Di Stefano burrata which was phenomenal. Had we not had dinner reservations right after, I would've easily ordered another one to snack on. Looking forward to coming back!

    On a clear sky reasonably warm spring night this is the PERFECT place to catch a vibe under the stars. The staff was excellent and the food was delish. If I lived in AZ I'd consider renting the space for just about any type of event.

    Absolute fan I'll be back. The hostess was so accommodating as I stopped here right before a red eye flight with my luggage. Drinks were sharing and I picked a few small plates for myself. Enjoyed eating around the menu here- certainly a spot to keep on the list!

    During the Colonial era, lobster was so copious they were served to prisoners and slaves (true history!). Now it's an expensive delicacy around the world. Is it me, or does it feel the same thing has happened with bone marrow? What are (and still are) bones you essentially feed your dogs as treats from the butcher is now a $20+ 'small plate' relished by idiots like me. The history of food fascinates me. First come first served so I recommend arriving early or you may be waiting. This is a great rooftop bar with comfortable seating, heaters in the winter, ample shade in the afternoon by a tall office building, and amazing food from the Flint kitchen below. My only criticism is the specialty cocktails seem an ounce or two shy for the price. Though it's a very nice outdoor bar, the office building to the west completely blocks the view of a sunset. The only view you have is to the north beyond Fashion Square Mall, but WOW, what a view! Though on the small side, the cocktails were tasty and the bone marrow was amazing, served over hot coals with toasty, rustic bread and a nice relish.

    I stumbled upon this place from Yelp and I'm so happy I took my girlfriend here for our first time! We were visiting Arizona from San Jose so we had to visit some cute bars. The food and drinks were delicious, I have no complaints. Roasted bone marrow and oysters were spectacular. Thank you to Summer and Frankie for an enjoyable experience, will definitely recommend to friends and be back if I was in town! It's a cute rooftop bar that you should bookmark.

    Will there be availability upstairs on a Friday at sunset ? Or will it be insanely busy?

    Some Fridays are busier than others, but you should still be able to get a spot as there is a lot of standing-room space Upstairs. Please check Google and Yelp for our hours before heading over as Upstairs has a lot of private events booked… 

    Is there an elevator to get to the upstairs?

    Hi Kasey, Yes, there is an elevator that leads to Upstairs at FLINT!

    Is a reservation required?

    There are walk in spaces at the downstairs bar and lounge area as well as Upstairs at Flint when they are open. Otherwise we do recommend reservations for dining.

You can really taste the freshness. The pasta is made fresh in-house, and it is evident with every bite. Our pastas were so fresh and flavorful, and the salad was delicious as well. The pizzas are hand-tossed and fire-stone baked with a wonderful crust and fresh ingredients. Everything tasted authentic and thoughtfully prepared. A special shoutout to Pablo, who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the food. He took the time to explain the menu and answer all of our questions. He even made sure to let us know when he was going on break and introduced us to Jessie, who would be taking over. Jessie was wonderful too! She spoke so passionately about the desserts that we ended up ordering based on her recommendations, and we were so glad we did. What we appreciated most was how accommodating the staff was with my husband's mobility needs. The only challenge was accessibility. The walkways throughout the strip mall are very uneven and almost reminded us of cobblestone streets in Europe, which made navigating with a wheelchair difficult. Inside the restaurant, the uneven flooring and smaller space also made maneuvering challenging. Thankfully, the restroom was ADA accessible, although the space was still fairly tight. We brought my husband's smaller transport chair rather than his regular wheelchair, which definitely helped. We've noticed that many restaurants aren't truly easy to navigate for someone using a wheelchair, but Pizzeria Bianco genuinely seemed to make an effort to accommodate us, and that meant a lot. Wonderful food, passionate service, and a charming atmosphere. We would absolutely come back!

The service was wonderful, the staff was kind, and the bread was good... but the pizza and desserts were a letdown. The toppings were hit‑and‑miss, the cheese was great, but the pizza itself was nowhere near the quality that once gave this place national attention. And the desserts? A total failure. The peach "bed" thing was awful, and the rice pudding was a complete miss. Back then, paying up to thirty bucks for a small pizza felt fine because the food delivered. Today, it didn't. We still tipped big because the staff truly is wonderful -- they're serving food in one of the worst restaurant atmospheres I've ever seen. Peeling wallpaper, rusted chandeliers, paint‑stained wood... it's trying to look rustic but ends up looking like "we don't care."

    We dined here as a party of four on a Sunday evening (the first guests seated at 5:00 p.m.). Given…read morethe glowing reviews, beautiful Instagram presence, and higher price point, we walked in with high expectations. Three of the four of us cook regularly and host dinners, so we all pay attention to food, service, and the overall dining experience--though we each have very different tastes. Interestingly, we all left with about the same impression. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The décor is warm, inviting, and immediately makes you feel like you're in for something special. Our server was attentive throughout the meal, although there were a few service hiccups that affected the experience. We started with cocktails. All of them were good, but each seemed just slightly out of balance. I ordered the OG Margarita on our server's recommendation, and while I'm admittedly picky about margaritas, this one was noticeably too sweet. The seasonal menu sounded exciting, especially since they emphasize using fresh, in-season ingredients. Our server insisted on us trying the Tomato Board. At $40, which was the most expensive appetizer on the menu, we expected something very memorable. It featured several varieties of tomatoes (including a surprisingly delicious pickled green tomato), a light and airy whipped mozzarella, and a single long piece of focaccia. Everything tasted fresh, and the whipped mozzarella was the standout--we'd never had anything quite like it. Unfortunately, with only one piece of bread, we had to order another just so everyone could enjoy it. Good? Absolutely. Worth $40? None of us thought so. We also ordered the escargot, which was delicious, though it's hard to describe five pieces as "family style." For our entrees, we ordered the burger, the sausage with potato latke, and what we thought was the lamb and mussels special. At first we were going to order the pork belly noodles instead of the sausage, but our server thought it would be too many noodle dishes, so we happily took his recommendation to get the sausage. Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication, and the pork belly noodles were brought instead of the special we were most excited to try. When we pointed it out, he acknowledged the mistake but he wasn't quick to offer a resolution, which left us in an awkward spot where we just decided to keep it. Ironically, the pork belly noodles ended up being our least favorite dish. The pork belly was overly chewy and quite salty, while the noodles were bland and seemed just slightly undercooked. The fresh mint was a nice touch, but it wasn't enough to save the dish. The sausage with potato latke, yogurt sauce, and pickled red cabbage was surprisingly excellent. The flavors were balanced, the portion size was generous, and it ended up being one of our favorites. The true star of the evening, though, was the burger. We split it four ways, and every single one of us commented on how good it was. Perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, topped with melty Gorgonzola and a vanilla bean jam that married beautifully together. We used every last bite of the warm bun to soak up what was left. Overall, we'd give the food about a 7/10. Here's what took an otherwise 4/5 star experience down to a 3. The air conditioning wasn't working on a 115-degree day. But I'm not lowering my rating because mechanical issues happen. At first it wasn't noticeable because it was still cooler than outside, but as dinner went on we were all visibly uncomfortable, passing around my hand fan. Only then did our server mention that the A/C had been out. You come here for an experience and if you know upfront a patrons experience will be affected you are under obligation to tell them but no one mentioned it when we arrived or made any effort to acknowledge the inconvenience or tried to make up for our discomfort in any way. Persephen clearly has talent in the kitchen and a beautiful space, but when you position yourself as a premium dining experience, every detail matters. We enjoyed parts of the meal, especially the burger, but overall the experience didn't quite live up to the hype. For us, 3 out of 5 stars feels like a fair rating.

I have never had an artichoke appetizer like this before - the artichoke was lightly fried with chips, chimichurri sauce and buttermilk - the texture was meaty and the flavor was creamy with a refreshing kick.

The bread was also airy. Their service was also excellent! The staff were friendly and immediately noticed that we needed a to-go box even though we didn't request it.

We had reservations, were greeted and seated immediately. We decided to share tapas to allow the opportunity to sample a wider variety of dishes. Happy hour menu provided a great opportunity at a reasonable price. We order hummus and peta bread, olives with almonds and a couple of church music IPAs. The beers and olives arrived in a few minutes and the hummus about ten minutes later. Loved the red pepper flavor of the hummus. Beers were cold and refreshing. Next we decided to try the honey saffron and sumac Socca. It was unique and delicious. The ingredients truly complement each other, with the sumac bring a tart flavor to the honey saffron. We also tried the crispy eggplant with tzatziki sauce which was a standout, one of the best bite of the evening. Our last two dishes we selected were the K4 meatballs with parmigiana in a wine sauce and the grilled octopus. The octopus was okay but not as good as it was last time, too many white beans and octopus texture was off. The meatballs were excellent with bold flavors.

It makes for a perfect date spot and even classy celebration space. It is almost always packed so get there early to put your name down and wait. Parking is also super limited so keep that in mind. Now on to the food, the table ordered 3 dishes and a dessert with some drinks. The Fritto Misto is a combination of squid and shrimp. It's a classic dish that they did amazing with. The batter was light and crispy and always a great starter for the night. I paired it with a Red Sangria and my friend paired it with a white Sangria. They also served hot sencha green tea for my friend. It came in this cute red teapot! The Spicy BBQ chicken pizza was 100/10 !!! If you get anything from here, it has to be the pizza. This BBQ chicken pizza is not your usual fast food style. The grilled scallion and Serrano chili just adds such a refreshing kick to your taste buds. We demolished that pie in seconds !! The large Radiatori Pomodoro seemed to be a seasonal new item. Also 1000/10 !!! Tomato-y goodness. So simple yet it makes you appreciate the ingredients. The Radiatori noodles are so fresh. They purposely make it into this flower like shape. The texture is so playful to the mouth and tastebuds. The touch of parmesan and grated garlic adds that salt and aromatic to the noodles. And the big chunks of basil help cleanse the palate. we ended the meal with a birthday cake by ordering the perfect chocolate cake. The draft was so kind and sweet to add a candle to it and surprise the birthday guest of honor. This cake was made in a Bundt cake shape and HOLY CHOCOLATE MOLY. Super moist and fluffy ?! The raspberry puree/sauce with the cherry was the best combo ever !!! I highly recommend it. We had one more drink to end the night. It was the staycation that was not pictured and let's say they know how to get you ordering more. 9/10. Our total for a party of 3 was ~126 before tips. A very reasonable price for such a classy and filling meal. I would definitely bring my friends and family back here to try their other pizzas and pasta dishes.
