Whether you?re looking for a casual dinner or a fancy place to impress a date, downtown Tucson has a restaurant for everyone. ?Some of these hot spots include: Reilly Craft Pizza and Drink, The Hub Restaurant and Ice Creamery, Caruso?s, and Lindys on 4th.

Reilly Craft Pizza and Drink is a quiet place to stop by on a Sunday afternoon for bite to eat. ?The restaurant front may lack street appeal but once you walk through the doors the the hip atmosphere makes up for the shabby restaurant front. ?The young servers are friendly and attentive, but the redeeming factor is the food.

Start with zucchini chips to excite your taste buds before you hit them with one of their amazing wood oven pizzas. ?Whether you?re a vegan or a meat loving customer there is a pizza to satisfy everyone?s taste buds. ?Finish the meal with a dessert that is simply too good to miss, their Fried Dough. ?Covered in cinnamon sugar and served with a shot glass of melted nutella, it is guaranteed to be the highlight of your meal.

Next stop is The Hub Restaurant and Ice Creamery, located on Congress Street just around the corner from Reilly?s. ?The busy restaurant runs a little slow getting food and drinks on the table but it?s worth the wait. ?The salmon dish offers a healthy selection of fresh veggies and warm rice. And all dishes are reasonably priced and sized. ?This is a place where dessert is a must. ?With all the ice cream flavor options (oatmeal cookie dough, turtle brownie, coconut, and so much more) everyone leaves with a smile on their face.

The salmon dish at The Hub features wild rice and a side of greens with butter to top it off.

Caruso?s Italian Restaurant down on 4th Avenue has been around since 1938 and their food speaks for itself. ?The traditional Italian vibe is carried out through the friendly waiters, the red checkered tablecloths, and every pasta, pizza and special dish that is served. ?Your experience starts with a basket of warm bread sure to get your mouth watering. ?Every meal is enough to stuff your belly so if you?re looking for great italian food this is definitely worth the visit.

If you?re looking for a unique burger, Lindy?s on 4th is the place to go. Options range from onion rings, mac and cheese to pineapple and bacon. ?Their creative burger names, Ninja, Texas Belt Buckle, and Cali Burrito Burger, are as inventive as the toppings they use. ?Their sides are also worth an order; chili, cheese, bacon ranch, gravy, and loaded fries are all offered to accompany your meal. ?If you?re feeling adventurous then don?t miss out on Lindy?s unique burger experience.
