A Modern Italian Oasis in Scottsdale
Nicholas Campisano and Joshua James, the team behind Clever Koi and Across the Pond), have brought their culinary journey full circle with Fellow.
This modern, minimalist Italian experience is driven by the expertise of Ligurian chef Claudio Urciuoli. Urciuoli has garnered a stellar reputation at renowned restaurants like Taggia, Chris Bianco’s Italian Restaurant, Noca, and Noble Eatery.
The spirit of openness extends beyond the menu to the restaurant’s design. Local Studio’s Brian Stark has crafted a modern yet comfortable space, featuring soaring ceilings and massive windows that blur the lines between the restaurant and the surrounding neighborhood. This creates a welcoming and airy atmosphere,.
The menu at Fellow Osteria focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients with a modern twist.
Fare Expeditions Picks:
Ravioli: plump pillows of pasta filled scallop and shrimp, bathed in a light and flavorful lemon cream sauce. Sun-dried tomatoes add a touch of sweetness, while crispy capers provide a textural contrast and a burst of briny flavor. A touch of chili oil adds a subtle kick.
Pesto: This dish takes pesto to a new level. Here, the pesto is tossed with caserecci pasta for a satisfyingly toothsome bite. Sweet and juicy heirloom tomatoes burst with summery flavor, while toasted pine nuts add a touch of richness, bursting with fresh basil.
Burrata: Vegetarians will delight in this dish. Creamy burrata cheese is served atop a bed of caramelized and slightly sweet roasted squash. Sage pesto adds a savory and herbal note, while toasted pepitas bring a welcome crunch. For a surprising pop of sweet and tart, the dish is finished with a touch of cranberry agrodolce.
Fellow Osteria is a fresh and modern take on Italian cuisine, led by a renowned chef and housed in a welcoming space. With a focus on fresh ingredients, this restaurant is is a stellar addition to the south Scottsdale’s dining scene.
