The dramatic painting of a flamenco dancer in the bar sets the tone for Prado (4949 E. Lincoln Dr., 480/627-3004, www.pradolife.com [1], 8 a.m.–10 p.m. Sun.–Thurs., 8 a.m.–11 p.m. Fri.–Sun.) at the Montelucia Resort [2]. Chef Claudio Urciuoli boldly draws his inspiration from traditional Andalusian cooking, importing succulent hams and rich cheeses from Spain. The restaurant’s wood-fired gilled meats, like the daily lamb trio and suckling pig, are tender and smoky, and the paella and prawns are perfect.
