The Italian Daughter: Authentic Italian Cuisine in Scottsdale

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.

It was my first time at Italian Daughter. The food was just alright to me, nothing to write home about. I had the chicken parmigiana dish. There were healthy helpings, and I appreciated the value. The ambiance is nice, and there was live music on Friday night. The servers were prompt and friendly.

Wow!!! I am very happy to have experienced the Italian Daughter. My family and I often fine at fine Italian restaurants and compared to one in Gilbert (that shall remain nameless), this establishment went above and beyond to not only accommodate my party of around 20 but did so in the most professional manner. The food was good, all brought out at the same time. Never had to ask for refills they were on it! The drinks were strong and the absolute catering to our party. We thank you very much. I know we had a bunch of calls and rescheduling but this night was perfect. Will for sure be spending more money here. Thank you for the perfect night wishing my mother a happiest of birthdays!

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!!

We dined at The Italian Daughter on a very busy Sunday evening around 7–8 PM, and the restaurant was absolutely packed — a mix of locals, snowbirds, and holiday visitors. Despite how busy it was, the service never skipped a beat. Our waitress, Karmin, was exceptional. She was personable, attentive, and handled a full dining room with ease. I made a point to tell her how wonderful the service was, and she kindly asked if I’d be willing to leave a review — which I was more than happy to do. She truly earned it. The rest of the staff was just as impressive, working seamlessly as a team. The food was outstanding, and the ambience was warm, lively, and inviting — exactly what you want from a great Italian restaurant. Huge kudos to the entire staff and to the owner/manager for clearly training and retaining such a strong, hospitality-focused team. We will absolutely be back.

We loved this local spot! Friendly service, great live music, and delicious food. The heaps parmesan in the olive oil for the bread is divine. The calamari is perfectly breaded and crispy, and nicely seasoned. Highly recommend! Can get loud and guys, reservations recommended.

This place was wonderful!! From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect! The wine was delicious. My friend and I shared the beet salad. I had the chicken piccata per the waiter’s recommendation and she had the veal marsala. Last but not least was the limoncello cake for dessert. Also per the waiters recommendation. I wish I knew our servers name because he was hilarious and very helpful w menu choices. Live piano music was a delight! Will definitely return if I’m in the area.

Amazing restaurant! This is always on our must eat list. The food is incredibly delicious and the service is top notch. Have never had a bad meal here. Recommend reservations. Our server Mike was fantastic and was very attentive to our needs and a great conversationalist. Recommended a terrific limoncello cake; out of this world! Rosina remembered us even though we hadn’t been to Scottsdale in almost a year. She made us feel like family and is a gem of a person! Thank you for making us feel at home and we will continue to recommend this wonderful restaurant. Can’t wait to see you on the next trip!
