The Italian Daughter

First time having Italian since moving to Arizona in March and so glad it was here. Service was impeccable! The food was excellent and for it being a restaurant in Scottsdale, prices were reasonable as well. They started us off with some warm bread while we looked at the menu. I must mention that we were with our 3 year old daughter and they did not have a kids menu, at least I assume they don't since they did not give us one. It was not an issue since our daughter loves to eat most things we do and the meals are large enough that I was able to share my meal with her. We started off with Francesco's Fritura which was very good, even our daughter liked it. My husband wanted something spicy so our server recommended the Italian Sausage Orecchiette. It was very spicy but he really liked it. I ordered the cheese flatbread and the Rigatoni and meatballs for my daughter and I. Flatbread and Rigatoni were delicious but those meatballs were next level. I think they were honestly the best meatballs I have ever eaten! We finished the night with a canoli and a big sundae. All this including two Martini drinks ended up being a little over $140. I would absolutely return! Looking forward to coming back.

Atmosphere was very elegant. Great place for a birthday dinner or nice lunch. Menu had a great variety and the dishes were a good size for what you're paying for. Service was good as well. The Mezza Rigatoni and Meatballs was yummy and very filling. The tiramisu tasted like it had come out of the freezer and had that refrigerator taste, so wouldn't recommend that dessert.

Last night we celebrated my Birthday here at Italian Daughter and it’s hard to put into words the experience we had! A table of 15 adults and three children under the age of 3, and the way our Server Carmen made us all feel like we had just all flew home for the holidays is indescribable! The food was outstanding full of flavor and would just melt!! The desserts are top tier and I can’t say which is my favorite because they all were! Just like having Sunday family dinner our plates were circulating the table for everyone to try because what do you do when something is amazing you share with those you love. The atmosphere was perfect, and the music was soothing. Carmen was on top of every detail, I didn’t have a chance to say I was ever in need of anything because she was on it! The presentation was phenomenal, the Manager Rosina would circle the table to ensure everyone was taken care of as well as the rest of the other tables. By the end of the night we didn’t feel like we went to just a restaurant, we went to eat at a families house. Can’t thank them enough! I promise you won’t be disappointed!!

First time here. A big open room nicely decorated with a nice bar and live music. The food was very good (shared salmon, chicken picatta and tortellini) but like many places nowadays, over-priced. The service was good, atmosphere good, and just a very nice experience. Make reservations, though, because you will have a long wait if you don’t.

First time here will definitely not be our last! We enjoyed the atmosphere, the service, and especially the food. Best lasagna ever. Great to go with friends and celebrate life.

We reserved this venue for a birthday celebration. It was our first visit and it was better than we hoped for. The service, food and atmosphere were fantastic. Peyton our server was on point. We met Rosina, and Vicky who were just amazing. Now let’s talk food!! Beat meatballs! My halibut was cooked perfectly, the smoked old fashion was delicious, pasta, bread, and desserts all yummy! It’s rare to find a spot where everything is so good! This was the first of many visits to come! Ciao!! And mile graze

Total gem find!! Italian restaurants are such a hit and miss!! We really loved the food, everything, from the complementary bread to the calamari (Francesco's Frittura), Brown butter seared Scallops, ot Fresh fish of the day, halibut. The service was great! Tommy and his assistant really took care of us for our anniversary. The atmosphere was nice and well suited for the meal. Everything we ate and tried was awesome! we will have to come back and try other stuff for sure!!

Food was excellent, our server Mike was fantastic!!. We’ll definitely be back! A+++ The only negative I have, is my cioppino says it had lobster, yet the lobster was shredded and unrecognizable. I was expecting a few chunks of beautiful lobster for the price. Loved it anyway !
