The Italian Daughter

This was our first visit to The Italian Daughter and it did not disappoint. The hostess and server were very polite and knowledgeable. The meal started with a nice portion of freshly baked bread and butter. We then had the Caesar salad for 2 and it was excellent. The pistachios put it over the top. It had the right amount of dressing and cheese and truly is one of the best I have ever had. The inside of the restaurant was spotless and had an intimate feel. The Mezza Rigatoni with Meatballs was fantastic. Sweet with a lot of flavor. Rigatoni was fresh and cooked Al dente. But the rockstar of the night was the Braised Short Rib Tortellacci made with burro fuso, Gorgonzola, and walnuts. The flavors dance together like lovers on starry night. If you try nothing else in Phoenix, you must make the trip to North Scottsdale for this incredible dish. Overall it was an outstanding evening."FIMP"Food is My Passion

Ambience was nice, even though it's on the $$$ end no one dresses up in my opinion, which is fine and makes it more comfortable. The service was good, not great in regards to it being labeled as $$$ , but our food was hot and the food was great. The bread comes out complimentary. The women's restroom was dirty, again, should expect a clean restroom in a restaurant especially $$$ , I would say focus on cleaning the restrooms hourly to ensure an overall pleasant experience. Thanks for the good food

Great appetizer & service a few months ago... So I immediately thought we should return ASAP. CALLED ON A Tuesday at 4:30pm to make a Saturday reservation or at least ask if I need one... but spent 14 min on hold- without any greeting from the "gentleman", only to be hung up on. Called back to be put on hold without a greeting by a woman.... 30min... still on hold. Maybe they just don't want or need my return business.

My husband and I came for restaurant week and had a delicious meal!We had the fried lobster bites and meatballs to start. The meatballs were definitely the fav! Couldn't really taste the lobster after in the bites much.The chicken parmigiana was delicious and a HUGE portion with the side of pasta. I took about half home for another meal!!The sea bass was also delicious - the risotto was pretty dense and heavy but the sea bass was cooked well.The dessert was my favorite (per usual). The tiramisu was delicious and had a deep coffee flavor. The cannoli shell was a bit thick but still complimented the cream filling.Service was just as good as the last time we were in!!

We always go to The Italian daughter for special occasions and it never disappoints! We went for our anniversary this time. The ambiance is always incredible. So relaxed and romantic with jazz music playing (and Billy Joel!). I got the braised short rib tortellini- the sauce was so creamy and thick with walnuts sprinkled over it. Which was a great addition!My husband got chicken parm (he always does here) and said it's just as delicious as the past 6 times! To top it off, we had a decadent cheesecake for dessert.We already made reservations for Christmas Eve! We will definitely be back!

Happy hour review at the bar.Was hopping early 4:30 on a Friday, place is popular so plan accordingly!We had the red and white rotating wine for 6, generous pour and both were good value!Had the sautéed shrimp and calamari and 1/2 lettuce salad, both excellent. We will be back for dinner when!

We came here on a Monday night and it was completely packed. We waited about 20min to be seated which was not bad. Our waitress Allie was fantastic and very helpful, I could tell she was really busy but she kept on top of everything. They had a singer and piano guy which was really nice to have the live music. Food was amazing, I loved everything the chicken parm and vodka noodles were so yummy. The pizza surprised me, it was really good.

Met this Super nice lady at work today at Macy's and he told me she owned The italian Daughter restaurant. Love trying new restaurants and Told her i was going to go there tonight and try it. And I did. What a nice little gem! The place has a great chic ambiance. They have a piano guy that creates the perfect combination between italian food and music. The servers were awesome. (Sorry I don't remember the name of the girl that served us but she was perfect- tiny, skinny, pony tai, and always smiling (we went at 8pm). We had to wait a little bit for a table because we didn't make any reservations, but the wait wasn't that long. From the cocktails to the main entrees and desserts, everything was delicious. Thank you Italian Daughter owner/manager. Hope I see you next time. Will come back.

This place is amazing I am a food snob and born in Italy every dish was sensational you need to try this place

I recently dined at The Italian Daughter and had a wonderful experience with their freshly baked bread and butter, followed by the Mezza Rigatoni with Meatballs. The bread was warm and delightful, while the pasta dish was rich and flavorful. The ambiance was cozy and charming, creating a perfect setting for a relaxing meal. The service was outstanding; the staff was attentive and ensured we had everything we needed for a memorable dining experience.
