February may traditionally be for sharing time with the one you love, but there is no rule that says you can’t show a little self-love this month or spend time with your bestie on Feb. 14. With that in mind, here are three ways to dine in style and savor the moment this month.
Indulge yourself PCG style
In celebration of Valentine’s Day, on Saturday, Feb. 14, diners are invited to indulge in an exclusive prix fixe three-course menu at Phoenix City Grille (PCG).
First course menu items include a choice of New England clam chowder, roasted corn soup with poblano relish, brie cheese dip or baby gem salad. For a second course, choose wood-grilled coffee-crusted beef tenderloin, bourbon-braised short rib, vanilla-brined pork chop, vegetarian pasta primavera, pan seared blue nose bass, Rose Lane chicken or cedar plank salmon. Top off the evening with red velvet cheesecake, espresso pot de crème or pana cotta with blueberry compote and fresh strawberries.
Add-on dishes are available to enhance the dining experience, which costs $85, per person, plus tax and gratuity. For more information or to make a reservation, call 602-266-3001 or visit www.phoenixcitygrille.com. Reservations can also be made through OpenTable.
Downtown fun for the gals
Celebrate Galentine’s (or Valentine’s) in the heart of Downtown Phoenix at Sheraton Phoenix Downtown’s dining destination, Carcara, 340 North 3rd St. Enjoy an interactive Paint & Sip experience featuring Fletcha Azul tequila, where guests are invited to spend a spirited evening of creativity and connection led by Fletcha Azul Tequila Ambassador Chris Seithel and local artist Carmen Bradford. The experience includes a guided tequila tasting of blanco, reposado, and añejo, paired with sweet and salty bites curated by Executive Chef Dominique St. Pierre, plus a signature welcome cocktail and all painting supplies to create a Valentine’s-inspired canvas to take home.
The cost is $35 per person. Visit www.opentable.com/r/carcara-phoenix to RSVP.
Local favorite returns
While they have not promoted a Valentine’s Day menu, if it has been a minute since you visited Town & Country Shopping Center, diners will find that Tratto is once again making its home there, next door to its sister restaurant, Pizzeria Bianco.
Originally opened at the shopping center in 2016, the eatery moved a few miles away in 2020. But in September 2025, it moved back to its original location. Styled to reflect a classic Italian Trattoria, offering a warm and welcoming elevated dining experience is the goal. The team says this is achieved “by focusing on fresh and local ingredients” for their Italian dishes, which have a Southwestern flare that honors the local communities.
Tratto is open Tuesday through Saturday, 5 to 9 p.m. Visit them at 4743 N. 20th St. For reservations (recommended but not required), call 602-296-7761 or visit www.trattophx.com.
