Prado, the signature restaurant at the new InterContinental Montelucia Resort & Spa in Paradise Valley, opened today.

Named for the world-famous Madrid museum, Prado features a Spanish-themed menu of meats and seafood grilled over a wood-burning fire. Nightly specials highlight suckling pig (Mondays), lamb (Tuesdays), chicken (Wednesdays) and duck (Thursdays).

Chef Claudio Urciuoli (pictured at left) opened Italian restaurant Taggia at Scottsdale’s FireSky Resort & Spa in 2006 before a brief stint earlier this year at Different Pointe of View at the Pointe Tapatio Resort in Phoenix.

Adjoining lounge Mbar offers premium tequilas, specialty cocktails and more than a dozen tapas.

Prado, 4949 E. Lincoln Drive, Paradise Valley, is open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Info: (480) 627-3004 or icmontelucia.com.
