Anello
Looking to keep things light and fun? Anello is your place, a hidden pizzeria with a casual vibe. Sure, they accept reservations, but walk-ins are welcome, too.

Don’t skip dessert at this little hole-in-the-wall! The Blue Corn Lemon Tart is not to be missed. Learn more.
Barista Del Barrio
Founded in 2017, this super chill neighborhood coffee spot is family-owned and operated and serves up some seriously good Mexican eats. Initially a small coffee cart, the operation quickly took over the building next door and set up a permanent kitchen. And they sure know their stuff! Not-to-be-missed tamales, a mouth-watering breakfast burrito, and unique Marzipan cold brew should be on every foodie’s bucket list. Learn more.
Barrio Brewing Company
Craft beers and good grub are the name of the game at the Barrio Brewing Company. With over 15 years in business, Arizona’s oldest brewery is now 100% owned by their employees and boasts an impressive lineup of beers as well as one of the best menus in Tucson. From burgers to tacos, a mean Reuben sandwich and spinach artichoke dip with a beer-flavored twist, this brewery is a local legend that should definitely be on everyone’s list of hot spots.

The Cork
When you’re looking for a great steak or sustainably-caught seafood, The Cork Tucson should be your go-to.
