If you’re looking for Italian food with a little drama and a whole lot of style, look no further than Sexy Roman — the newest culinary hotspot shaking up the W Scottsdale. With moody lighting, luxe interiors, and a menu that’s anything but ordinary, this is Italian dining done with flair.
Helmed by James Beard–nominated Chef Jason Franey, Sexy Roman blends old-world tradition with new-school swagger, serving up everything from handmade pastas and small bites to over-the-top entrées and cocktails with a twist.
From the moment you walk in, it’s clear: this isn’t your average Italian restaurant. Think glowing wine displays with 750+ bottles, elegant olive-wood booths with built-in ice buckets, and marble tables decked in brass. As the evening goes on, the lighting shifts from golden warmth to a rich, sultry red — setting the tone for the night ahead.
But the real scene-stealer? The food.
🍝 Sexy Roman Meatballs ($28)
Tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. These signature meatballs are bathed in housemade marinara and topped with herbs and a shower of Parmigiano. Classic, but elevated.
🧀 Aged Provolone Sticks ($16)
Crispy on the outside, bold and cheesy on the inside. Served with Calabrian chile marinara, these are nostalgic, grown-up cheese sticks you’ll want to order twice.
🥩 Sexy Roman Lasagna ($42)
This showstopper layers housemade pasta with creamy béchamel, slow-braised short rib ragù, and a rich blend of cheeses. It’s indulgent, dramatic, and totally worth every bite.
Sexy Roman’s cocktail game is strong. Whether you’re sipping a classic Spritz or a modern twist like the gold leaf-topped espresso martini, each drink is crafted for both flavor and flair.
The real star of the bar? Their full-service martini cart — complete with nitro-chilled glasses, top-shelf liquors, and custom garnishes made tableside. It’s not just a drink, it’s a performance.
When the sun sets and the beats kick in, Sexy Roman shifts into lounge mode. The vibe gets a little sexier, the music a little louder, and the cocktails keep flowing. Espresso martinis, blood orange margaritas, strawberry negronis — it’s the perfect way to keep the night going.
From the atmosphere to the menu to the martini cart moments, Sexy Roman isn’t just another restaurant — it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just looking to spice up your Scottsdale night out, this is one spot you’ll want to dress up for.
