We were greeted by the kindest gentleman at the door, who helped us to our seats and made us feel welcome right away. Then we met Lisa--a Jersey girl with Arizona in her heart! What a sweetheart. We laughed so much with her, and she made us feel like we'd known her for years. Honestly, we couldn't have imagined a better evening with her looking after us. Ask for her section if you go, and don't be shy about asking her for recommendations! The food was fresh and so delicious, and the portions were big! We shared the calamari, a side salad and lasagna, then finished with Italian cookies, tiramisu and a latte. Definitely consider sharing, and save room for dessert! We loved the food, the atmosphere and how welcome everyone made us feel. We've already been telling people to visit and ask for Lisa! Lisa, thank you for all the laughs and for making our night so special. The Sicilian Butcher is lucky to have you. We've fallen in love with Arizona, and this evening was one of the reasons why. Until we meet again!

The service was good, however, I ordered the Ceasar Salad and Margherita Pizza for lunch. The lettuce in the salad was bitter and on the verge of turning yellow, the pizza was good, presentation could be better. The staff was courteous to oblige and correct the issue. Bakery side is lovely, Cannoli's are my favorite and they were scrumptious. Overall, it is a beautiful atmosphere, service was good, food could better for the price. I do plan on returning to the restaurant and bakery to try other menu items.

We enjoyed the $7 wine, the $5 tortellini, and the rigatoni with salmon. We also ordered the Italian chopped salad to go, and it was absolutely the best Italian chopped salad we have ever had! We loved everything so much that we knew we had to come back. Today we returned, and once again, everything was outstanding. We had the branzino special, the Involtini of Eggplant for an appetizer, and the lasagna. The lasagna was actually something we had to try because we kept hearing how the regular patrons always order it. After our first visit, we knew we had to see what all the talk was about -- and even though we were getting it to go, we had to order it! I'm honestly not even a fan of lasagna, but now I can completely understand why everyone loves it. This will be the only place I order lasagna from now on! And the bread with the pesto butter... it gets us every time! So delicious! And of course, Sal deserves another mention. Sitting at the bar with him on our first visit was such a fun experience, and he was a big reason we wanted to come back. He made us feel so welcome and made our first visit memorable. The food, the specials, the atmosphere, and the people are all fantastic. We've already been back twice, and I have a feeling The Italian Daughter is quickly becoming one of our regular spots. Everything has been outstanding, and we can't wait to come back again!

This place had been on my list for the longest time, but I rarely make it out to this area during…read moretheir open hours but recently I was lucky enough to be in the area after an appointment and finally got to try them out! After looking over the menu, we started off with Francesco's frittura to share. This dish tasted fine, nothing outstanding. For our main entrees we ordered the brown butter seared scallops with sweet corn risotto and the shrimp fradiavolo. Both of these entrees were outstanding in their own respect. The risotto was subtly sweet and not heavy or rich. Additionally, the scallops were nicely seasoned and not overcooked. The shrimp fradiavolo was mildly spicy and the spaghetti was perfectly al dente. Since we always have room for dessert, we ordered the tiramisu to share. It was nice and fluffy, and not too sweet, which we prefer. Overall, service was friendly, patient, and attentive. The ambiance was comfortable and intimate with lots of indoor seating and some outdoor patio seating. I highly recommend making reservations in advance if you plan on coming here. After our great experience, we will definitely be back to try out some of their other dishes!

I don't know why the other locations don't offer this as an option. Im not sure when they changed their Italian Farm salad to the Italian Cobb Salad but its very similar and still delicious and refreshing. This has some zucchini, green olives, sun dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, salami of a couple sorts, different cheeses, pistachio mortadella, mixed greens and oregano vinaigrette. I always go for the Roasted Salmon as it's a perfect balance of colors and taste. There were mixed in cauliflower and a bit of broccolini. I would definitely love to have more broccolini though. I ordered this as part of the summer menu which it comes with a choice of their daily soup (which was a creamy chicken soup on a Saturday), Sicilian meatballs, Cacio e Pepe, Simple Salad or Charcuterie plate. I went with the charcuterie plate which had a array of foccicia bread, pitted green olives in an olive mix of rosemary or thyme theme taste, sweetened figs over a soft cheese spread, pecorino cheese I think, candied nuts, a jalapeño forward pickled veggies such as carrots, cauliflower, prosciutto, speck (another type of prosciutto). Other dishes were kids Alfredo pasta, Margherita pizza and the ricotta cavatelli which has lump crab meat and shrimp, mint and lemon olive. Our server was absolutely 100 percent as well as the rest of the staff. This place used to do valet but when we came for lunch there was no valet which I appreciated as the lot is just a regular private parking. This still has the same set up as it was 10 years ago or so with the barnyard type of structure and an open kitchen. Oh how I missed coming to this specific location. I'm ready to eat here again!

I visited over the summer and forgo to write a review. This place was a genuine 10/10. From the…read moreservice, to the food, all the way to the experience. First off, this place is in a beautiful area. I was with 2 of my buddies but this place was the percect date night vibe. The scenary was very soft and "southern". It had that "aesthetic" vibe, great for pictures etc. The restaurant is one of a kind and beautiful inside. The booths are very comfortable. My server was extremely polite and attentive, along with knowledgeable. She didn't have the answer to one question I had, so like any good server, she found out immediately. The bus boy/ runner was also extremely attentive. Actively clearing plates and assisting my friends and I. I started off with the ceaser, which was delicious. We shared the meatballs, amazing. Along with the calamari and grilled octopus. Everything was fresh and was served to us quickly. We ordered a pizza to split, the margarita to be exact, and let me tell you it was life changing especially when you are a little buzzed. That may have enhanced my experience a little more. For my entree I chose the vodka pasta, it was one of the best meals I've had in my entire life. The only downside to this place is how pricy it can be, but like all nice places you have to be prepared to spend a lot. Despite that, I recommend this place to everyone. Come in a group if you can, its a fun time. Miss this place and love it!

We got the Buscatini Limone and the Milanese. The buscatini was my favorite. The beautiful lemon lightened up the heavy cream and was absolutely delightful. I didn't know that lemon and heavy cream sauce could be paired together in such a lovely minuet, but this would put Fred and Ginger out of business. There is a free parking garage on the west side of the restaurant. There's even a sign that states which restaurants allow you to park there. The restaurant is loud and the seats are a little uncomfortable. But if you're a foodie like me, you'll be willing to ignore those things. They also don't seat you until everyone in your party is present. The menu is very small and they state that they don't make substitutions or accommodations for those patrons that don't ingest dairy or gluten free. It had a great lively atmosphere, but this isn't romantic for date night. But don't let that stop you from coming to enjoy the food. I can't wait to come back. They are on break until 09/22, so plan on going after they're back.
