Dining room at Prado, Paradise Valley, AZThere’s a bit of glorious Spain in the heart of Paradise Valley. First, the setting is luxe with Moorish arches and pillars, and billowing curtains pluming out to a striking patio set with fountains and views of Camelback Mountain. Second, chef Claudio Urciuoli works his magic with a meticulous Slow Food treatment of updated Spanish classics. That means unexpected touches like expensive, difficult-to-import jamón de bellota next to simple but sumptuous burrata atop wood-roasted radicchio and tomato. Perhaps you’ve had grilled octopus, but maybe never so tender or touched with potatoes and olives. Entrées, like Kurobuta pork chop draped with figs, pine nuts and Muscat, or roast suckling pig with cracking skin and moist, lavishly fat-kissed meat, are filling and hearty. But tapas---delightful piquillo peppers stuffed with burrata or spicy paprika sausage, for example---tempt, too. Spanish libations include the chilled fino sherry, floral Albariño and traditional Tempranillo.
