DiMaggio’s Italian Restaurant

DiMaggio’s Italian Restaurant in Scottsdale is a beautiful, cozy spot with truly authentic Italian food. From the warm, inviting bread to the delicious appetizers, everything was fantastic, especially the best burrata we’ve ever had. We loved the chicken scarpariello, 36-layer lasagna, and spaghetti and meatballs. Everything was flavorful and perfectly prepared. Nyla was a wonderful server and took great care of us. The fresh cannoli was the perfect ending. Brandon, the chef and owner, does an amazing job, and it was so nice meeting his wife Michelle and their daughters. It’s a fantastic family-run restaurant, and we can’t wait to go back.

We had an excellent experience at DiMaggio's Italian Restaurant! Brandon, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxing meal. The waitstaff were friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable—they took the time to explain the menu and recommend dishes, which made our dining experience even better. The food was outstanding, and the service was top-notch. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Italian food and exceptional hospitality.

DiMaggio’s delivered a wonderful Italian dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and elegant, with crisp white tablecloths, candlelight, and the kind of old-school charm that makes you want to sit back, enjoy a glass of wine, and savor every course. We started with the fresh mozzarella appetizer, which was beautifully presented and incredibly creamy, paired with bright basil pesto, fresh tomatoes, and a touch of olive oil that let the quality of the ingredients shine. The entrées were equally impressive. The chicken parmesan was a generous portion with perfectly cooked pasta, rich marinara sauce, a blanket of melted cheese, and a finishing touch of freshly grated parmesan. The seafood special was outstanding — grilled shrimp over a creamy, perfectly cooked risotto with a delicate garlic butter sauce and fresh broccolini. Every bite tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The service was good. Be prepared meal to take over 2.5 hours. DiMaggio’s is a great choice for date night, celebrations, or anyone craving classic Italian dishes made with care.

We came to DiMaggios to celebrate my birthday with a party of 4 and this is easily one of the best Italian restaurants in Phoenix. This restaurant is very intimate and full of many authentic Italian dishes. There is no bad dish here, but my absolute favorites were the meatball for appetizer and barolo short rib pasta for entree. One of the only downsides to this restaurant is that it’s smaller and not many tables compared to traditional restaurants, so the only way you’re going to eat here is getting a reservation which can sometimes require up to 1-2 weeks in advance depending on the weekend. If you’re lucky enough to get a resy here, then you’ll be extremely happy with your experience because it’s definitely worth it.

Absolutely fabulous! So nice to find real and traditional Italian cuisine. Drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts were all incredible. I can’t wait to go back and try some different dishes. Also, our waitress was as sweet as can be, wish I remembered her name.
