Chef Gio Osso has been a darling of Valley diners since opening Virtù Honest Craft in Scottsdale in 2013. This spring, Osso opened his second restaurant, Nico Heirloom Kitchen, in Downtown Gilbert. Here, the Gilbert resident shares three of his family’s favorite hometown haunts.

1 “I love going to SoCal Fish Taco Company. The food is great and you feel that you’ve escaped the hot desert and are ina little beach town chowing down on some great tacos. The ceviche is one of my favorites around.”

2 “I really enjoy taking my kids to Freestone Park. It’s an amazing park with lots to do. Lakes, playgrounds, ball fields and more. My son, Nico, especially loves the train ride. The excitement on his face when we come around one of the lakes is priceless. It’s a placewhere memories are made.”

3 “The Gilbert Farmers Market, of course, is my fave! I love walking around there with my family on a Saturday morning. We share a couple of orders of doughnuts from the awesome doughnut truck, grab some of the best produce for home and the restaurant and say ‘hello ’to all of our neighbors.”
