A new dining destination has opened in Phoenix. The Ra Ra Room is the first-ever members-only private dining club within a sports and entertainment venue. Pioneered by Phoenix Suns and Mercury owner Mat Ishbia, along with global hospitality company Major Food Group (MFG) and its co-founders Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick and Rich Torrisi, this one-of-a-kind experience is located inside the Footprint Center.
“The Ra Ra Room is an example of our commitment to continue elevating Phoenix as the premier destination for sports, entertainment and now, high-end hospitality,” Ishbia said. “It’s designed to be a destination in itself with the added convenience of Phoenix’s best sports and entertainment offerings in the same building.”
Open during every Suns home game, select Mercury games and concerts, and every Thursday through Saturday, The Ra Ra Room presents as an Art Deco-style speakeasy that offers members an exclusive dining and social encounter. Members enter a world of glamour and indulgence featuring exquisite cuisine, a world-class wine list, a lavish pantry stocked with gourmet snacks and a personal concierge.
“The Ra Ra Room is an extraordinary opportunity to merge luxury hospitality with the vibrant energy of sports and entertainment,” Carbone said. “It’s designed to deliver an elevated experience that redefines hospitality standards in Phoenix and beyond. We’re excited to partner with Mat to bring this unparalleled vision to life in a way that only MFG can.”
The menu will feature MFG signature dishes like Carbone’s veal parmesan, spicy rigatoni vodka, and Caesar Salad alla ZZ. Guests can also enjoy a raw bar with items like as dressed king crab and lobsters, along with classics like shrimp scampi or the steakhouse burger. Throughout the year, the a la carte menu will highlight a variety of specials from MFG eateries. For more information, visit therararoom.com.
