Reviews for Pa'La Wood Fired Cooking in Phoenix, AZ
We went here recently for dinner for the first time and were thoroughly impressed. We had the swordfish and the pesto pasta... and started with the Gulf Shrimp and focaccia bread. We were very pleased from appetizer all the way to dessert. It also has avery good vibe and fast service. Another bonus was they had my favorite local beer on draft from Wrenhouse brewery. We willdefinitely be back! This place was fantastic. Read more
Unreal that I used to go \"clubbing\" at this spot back in the day before this was tastefully transformed to a restaurant.... Everything that we had was so yummy! We got the eggplant, New York strip steak, a whole snapper, and a yuzu tart for dessert.The eggplant was really good even for those that have an issue with texture like my husband. Steak was tender and cookedperfectly. And the fish. Oh my. Sooooo good!! Nevermind that it was 95$. It was grilled perfectly and oh so very flavorful! Ifinished the whole thing! Probably one of the best prepared whole fish I\'ve had here in America! Read more
I always prefer from-scratch and wood fired places that prepare food organically and cook it naturally. PaLa was no exception. ... Phenomenal choices of food. A few in my business party helped enjoy this 4 lb Japanese fish (exact name I cannot recall). thewhite meat underneath the wood fired skin was cooked perfectly, had delicious flavors and was so soft and melted in your mouth.I would highly recommend this for parties of three or four if you\'re into seafood.\n\nService was beyond amazing and veryexplanatory of every dish.\n\nI will definitely be back at this place next time I\'m in Phoenix Read more

Pa?La was such a fantastic find! My husband and I stumbled onto it during a staycation downtown. The space is beautifully... designed with an outdoor seating area, big open window by the bar and a fun upstairs area with live music on the weekends. Weopted for the the chefs dinner and were delighted with each course that came out. Some of the best seafood dishes I?ve had inPhoenix! Each course was well balanced with flavor and beautifully plated. Service was also top notch! Everyone from the hostessto the bartender was friendly. I will definitely be coming back for more!

Just opened 6 months ago and I hope you are here to stay!!\n\nHad such a wonderful experience with great drinks, food and... service. The charcuterie board, drinks, pizza and atmosphere could make you feel like you travel to Italy.\n\nNot overwhelmingmenu, simple yet taste food. Appetizers, pizza, sandwiches, salads and veggies.\nCool inviting, comfortable and romantic sittingareas upstairs and downstairs. Many options to capture that picture perfect. As far as food we tried Tapas scallops and roasted mushroom pizza which was cook to perfection. Thin with kinda leopard-spotting crunchy crust and a lovely golden browncolor with mushrooms and pepperoni that tasted devine. For drinks I had Greek paloma which is more of a day time refreshingdrink an a Not-so Negroni which is more of an evening stronger flavorful drink (my favorite)\n\nAlthough some items can be a bitexpensive $18 for two scallops I like to think that my experience and flavor was worth the price.\n\nSuch a great addition toour downtown Phoenix.\n\nGrazie per una bella esperienza!!\nWe will be back!

Just go! You won\'t regret it! The food here is exquisite, tasty, and superb. The live music is very relaxing and not too loud... which is great for catching up with friends or family. For dessert we had the panna cotta and chocolate mousse which weredelicious. The panna cotta is unforgettable! You can really pick anything on the menu here and know it will be delicious.Service is friendly, attentive, and love how they take pride in the dishes they serve and how knowledgeable they are. Compliments to all the staff for being so professional, caring, and taking pride in the food that is served here. All of thatreally translates to an amazing experience.
