I dined at Cody’s Beef & Beans on Ft. Lowell because several of you wrote that it is your favorite burger place. It’s located in a strip mall, but once inside it could be any place Way-Out-West.

The Dish Bistro & Wine Bar: Does It Serve The Best Steaks In Tucson?
I have been searching for a steakhouse that serves a better ribeye than I can BBQ at home. I almost always purchase my ribeyes from Costco.

Tavolino Ristorante Italiano: A Review.
Chef Massimo Tennino describes his Tavolino as “an inviting restaurant that feels like an Italian neighborhood trattoria. Tavolino specializes in simple, elegant food, including fresh salads, homemade pastas, succulent roast and grilled meats, rotisserie chicken and game, and luscious desserts. Tavolino brings Italy to life in Tucson.” Thus far, I have no argument with his self-description, but I will have to return a few more times and try some other dishes.
