The Best Italian Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix
"Some restaurants just serve food, while others bring people together — DiMaggio’s is the latter. Owners Brandon and Michele Gioffre have created not just a restaurant, but a gathering place where hospitality is effortless and every meal feels like an occasion. The menu leans into New York Italian tradition, from garlicky, white wine-drenched linguine con vongole to bubbling baked rigatoni and shrimp scampi tossed with just the right amount of butter and lemon. The house-pulled mozzarella is impossibly fresh; the Caesar strikes the right balance of crisp and creamy; and Michele’s desserts, especially the tiramisu, are worth the extra forkful. DiMaggio’s isn’t chasing trends, and it doesn’t need to. It’s a place people return to not just for the food, but for the sense of community." - McConnell Quinn
