Since its debut in 1997, Cowboy Ciao has become an iconic Arizona destination for food (‘Best Fusion Cuisine’, Ranking Arizona), drink (‘Top 12 Bars in Arizona’, Thrillist), and wine (‘Most Innovative Wine List’, National Restaurant Association). Serving Lunch & Dinner daily (as well as Sunday Brunch), Ciao features Modern American Cuisine with Southwest accents and Global influences in a ‘Big City’ atmosphere. One of its seminal dishes, the Stetson Chopped Salad, has been copied by dozens of restaurants (and a pair of grocery store chains!) across the nation. In 2013, Cowboy Ciao opened a second location in Phoenix International Sky Harbor Airport. It quickly received accolades from Entrepreneur Magazine as ‘Best New Airport Restaurant’. An Alumni dinner extravaganza hosted by Ciao in 2014 underscored its long legacy, as 50 former team members returned as Owners, Chefs, or General Managers of their own restaurant and winery projects.
