The Italian Daughter

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!!

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!!

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❤️

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 !

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.

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.

I just ate here last night with some colleagues, and it was the best meal I've had out in quite some time. I loved everything about the experience, but the highlight was without a doubt our server, Carmen. Her energy and enthusiasm were contagious. She made us all feel so welcome and comfortable, and gave excellent menu recommendations. The calamari appetizer was one of her suggestions and it was the best I ever had - so lightly battered and cooked perfectly, not at all rubbery or fishy. Everyone loved their entrees. We got 3 different desserts to share: tiramisu, lemoncello cake, and spumoni. All were fantastic. The manager came to our table near the end of the meal to ask about our experience, and she was so sweet and kind. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant if you want a quality Italian dining experience. Be sure to ask for Carmen's section. Thank you, Italian Daughter team for such a wonderful dining experience!

I was a big fan of Tommasso's. Was sad to see it close down. But to hear about this place, I was excited to give it a try It did not let me down. Good wine selection, reasonable prices, amazing food. We had the antipasto board, meatballs and bruschetta mix. All solid. For dinner I had the veal scallopini. It was delicious. Service was great, and everyone at the table enjoyed their food. They even had live music. But not too loud to where you couldn't have a conversation Highly recommend!!!

Came with some friends for the first time. We had a reservation and our table was ready as soon as we arrived. Wonderful little place, located in a mall of other businesses and they have a great little outdoor space that is separated and well decorated. The indoors is like walking into an Italian cafe with lots of photos and lights and just really cute decor. They have a large bar area and it looked like you could sit and eat there as well. The tables are covered in white linen and they offer linen napkins. Fancy but comfortable and welcoming! I took photos of all of the dishes ordered and overall everyone loved their choices. Review includes more about the dishes my wife and I enjoyed. We started with a Caesar Salad and Cheesy Garlic Bread, which we ended up sharing the bread with everyone! It comes with a bowl of the most delicious marinara sauce, which we both loved. The salad was great and included pistachios, which was a first for us. That will be an addition we include when making Caesar at home! The crunch it added was a perfect little salty bite that set off the salad. I had the Linguine Vongole (Linguine and Clams (white sauce)), with pasta cooked to perfection! Just a tad over al Dente so it could soak up all of that luscious clam and garlic sauce. There were several whole clams and the sauce itself was packed with shelled clams. The dish was served along with a bowl to capture the shells, which is classy! We had read that they are known for the Gnocchi so she ordered the Black Truffle & Asiago Stuffed Gnocchi. Wow! Pillows of soft potato in a rich, creamy truffle sauce. Tons of flavor and so good! We ended with an order of the Spumoni, which was in a ball coated with chocolate (hence they call it Spumoni Gelato Bomba). It was good but I think I would order something else next time just because I didn't care for the chocolate. I also have had a bit more flavorful Spumoni elsewhere. Five star place for sure! Great for friends, date-night, and a place that serves legit Italian food! So yummy!

Looking for Italian Take out and found the Italian Daughter. The Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza was delicious. We couldn't taste or see the hot honey which can be hard to see, but we couldn't even taste it. That was why we got it & we love the combination. No honey no problem. This is still a bomb pepperoni pizza. We loved the crust. I loved the sauce and cheese. This is a perfect meal itself. We also got the lasagna with meatball. The meatball was solid and delicious. The meatball lived up to the hype and was fantastic and flavorful. The lasagna was just average for me and fell short. Just didn't have any of the flavor and no cheese pull. I like a very good sauce flavor, al dente noodles, cheese and whatever else goes good. The noodles were limp and the sauce, the Sunday sauce was missing. Went on vacation I guess, it fell short. Would return for the pizza and hope for hot honey that brings that sweet heat that pairs so well with pepperoni. They came up short this time, but solid potential.

My husband and I absolutely loved going to tomaso's and when they shut down for a moment we were so disappointed. It was the best place for Italian food! When the Italian daughter opened up, we decided we would go for my husband's bday to see if it would be comparable to tomasos seeing as it's owned by the owners daughter from what I read about it. We made reservations for 5pm on a Saturday and I put a note in that it was my husband's bday. Once we arrived we were seated right away, the space looked almost the same but more ambient lighting which is much more relaxing than it was before. They also had a happy birthday sign on the table which was a wonderful touch. I did ask for a booth thinking they'd have private type booths but their booths are actually the long seating with regular chairs on the opposite side which, if I knew, I would have picked a regular table which would be more private as the same between patrons on the booth was so close we could really hear their conversations hahaha but it was fine for the evening. The calamari (it's called something else on the menu but I forgot) fritto I think... was freaking amazing and the aoli was a perfect balance. The veal was so tender and flavorful and the clam linguine was incredible. We loved every single bite! And the butter for the fresh bread was delicious as well!!! I got the daughter drink and my husband got the margarita and those were also delightful! The Nutella pizza was on the house for the bday which was a very very very kind gesture! All that to say, we love this spot and will continue to celebrate special occasions here and even date nights! We've already told our friends and our parents about it! Planning on taking my in laws here for their bdays too!

This Italian restaurant is every bit of 5 stars from start to finish! We made a reservation, highly recommend otherwise you'll probably be waiting for a table! We chose the enclosed patio which is a very lovely space & for us a little quieter for our autistic son... inside they have live entertainment which is very nice & you're able to also hear the music on the patio! Once we settled in our server greeted himself & we began with a bottle of Chianti which was a great choice to go with our entrees! Shortly after appeared this amazing Sicilian Tasting Board, arancini 2 kinds, eggplant, stuffed squash blossoms, Italian stuffed peppers, panelli & whipped ricotta topped with hot honey! Okay the only way to put it.... All amazing but personally the ricotta & the blossoms were my fave! Then appear our entrees, well they did not disappoint at all... my carnivore hubby was in beef heaven, pure perfection.... fork tender beef sitting on a bed of silky whipped potatoes! Then as for seafood stew, the broth was unbelievable & the seafood all perfectly cooked, they cooked it in stages as they are supposed to! If you love Cioppino then look no further you must try The Italian Daughter's! To finish our meal we decided on some cheesecake & an espresso martini, both of which were very delish! The cheesecake was definitely creamy not dry all & my cocktail was perfectly made! The Italian Daughter was a wonderful evening out with a great selection of food & wine to choose from, top notch service from everyone & amazing food!

This was my second time coming here. Nice restaurant. The bar area is nice but, not enough chairs (move the condiments off the bar counter onto an inside New moveable island. The restaurant is spacious and the entertainment music was excellent & heard at all tables. The 1/2 Caesar salad was good, the short-ribs & scallops entrees were good. I had the scallops cooked well done & added pepper flakes to the risotto in with the scallops. Our Drinks were prepared correctly and the tiramisu dessert was good. All in all, it was a good meal. I didnt give 5 stars because the scallops were good, but fishy tasting.

Another amazing Happy Hour so I figured I should finally review. We came for "martini Monday" $5 martinis???? Yes please! But the icing on the cake? It's the lounge menu!! The food is AMAZING, every time. Tonight we had lamb chops, spicy shrimp and something that was heaven! A beef tenderloin with mushrooms, sauce, potato's, OH MY!! They have a new GM and she is rockin it!! Say hi to Rosina when you are in!!

The food and service were amazing, however through Open Table we let them know it was an Anniversary dinner. Not once did they mention it or wish us a Happy Anniversary? Poor communication.. other than that the night was great!

We came for dinner to celebrate a friend birthday. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The area in the restaurant is nice, even the outdoor area was nicely covered and cool. They brought fresh table to the table and that's always a super win. The bread was good and so was the garlic butter that came with it. The calamari was delicious! The gnocchi and the short rib pasta was also so good! The tiramisu was great. All the flavors and the texture was perfect. Overall a great place to have an Italian meal.

What a night to remember. Hosted a business dinner here, from the greeting from Rozina at the front to the amazing delicious food, to the incredible fun service from Carmen, great, great, great! Very reasonably priced, incredible, authentic Italian food, with ambience and hospitality to boot. Traveling from out of town but will recommend and visit next time in town. Hats off to The Italian Daughter!

Was here again with a group of 10. Service was good and food lived up to its reputation and was all good. Did notice (I did not order one) their smoked old fashioned was still being smoked for only 5-10 seconds. Should not call it a Smoked Old Fashion IMHO, or at least warn you its more show than flavor.

The Cioppino is off the charts! I had a late lunch there this week. I ordered the Cioppino and was floored by the size and quality of the dish. It was a huge portion with an incredible amount of seafood in it. I ended up taking half of it home. I've had Cioppino all over the world, and this is by far the best I've ever had. Tasted just as good, if not better the next day as leftovers. Needless to say, I'm a fan!

First time here and we were not disappointed. Carmen was our server and right away she made us feel like family. She was warm and friendly. We had an appetizer of Calamari and it was delicious. Perfectly crisp with very flavorful sauces to dip. I had the seafood risotto and all I can say is abundant. Amazing seafood, perfect risotto. It was delightful. We will definitely be going back.

My husband surprised me by taking me here for my birthday. It was very crowded, possibly due to the long weekend. For those who love fine dining and Italian food, this is difficult to get into so book in advance; as it's spectacular.. It's a perfect spot for date night or special occasion with family or friends. Portion sizes are huge, but delicious! Drinks are outstanding. Since it was very crowded, service was a bit slow.. We ordered the Osso Bucco which can be shared, due to portion size. The seafood ravioli was amazing. The fried calamari was the best, and so was the garlic bread'!! The drinks were spot on. They have an open bar so can order out or the menu as well!

I'd stay away from this place. Really had a terrible experience, manager was rude, food came out late and cold. Then we were told they were out of my wife's dish after waiting almost 45 minutes for our main course. As us Italians say, Fugedabout this place.

Wow! Totally blown away by the fantastic food and service we received tonight. Our first time and we were celebrating two birthdays. They treated us both to desserts! Mark was our server and was nice and laidback. All the staff were welcoming! We've been to other Italian restaurants and this one is on level above others. Ingredients and presentation were perfect. I appreciated that there were many seafood dishes on the menu. Would highly recommend for special occasions or anytime you're craving homemade, flavorful dishes at a reasonable price. Don't wait too long to make your reservation especially on a Saturday.

Popped in for an early dinner with husband and college boy. We had no reservation, and it was before 530 on a Tuesday with nothing available on open table. I checked in at the hostess station and they had one seat left in the lounge. Companions were skeptical about sitting in the lounge, but I insisted we needed to try the happy hour menu. And I am so pleased that we did! Live music started about 6pm, before our meal was finished, and was a pleasant guy with a guitar. Wine selection was reasonably priced. Server was spot on, all the time, even though they were packed. Wow, how have I missed this restaurant on my happy hour rotation? Perhaps I was deterred by the pasta rich menu, as a GF gal? Well no worries, they have GF high quality noodles! I ordered a smoked salmon pesto cream pasta with sun dried tomatoes and it was superb! The GF penne were even firm when left over, so impressed! Husband had a calzone from the HH menu. It was HUGE, not a small portion at all for $13 and loaded with Italian sausage and peppers. Son ordered the same, and thinking it would be small, also ordered a small chicken Alfredo rigatoni pasta bowl. Needless to say, we had leftovers! Everything was delicious. I will definitely be taking friends here, and looking forward to patio dining!

We chose The Italian Daughter for my wife's birthday dinner. As a vegetarian, it's often challenging to find restaurants that are both great for special occasions and offer good vegetarian options. Given the limited choices, we decided to make the drive from Chandler. Parking wasn't an issue, with plenty of spaces available. However, the service was painfully slow. We ordered the Chicken Parmesan pasta (with the chicken on the side) and a vegetarian pizza. While waiting, we were served bread, which was a bit hard. The Chicken Parmesan was decent, the pasta was flavorful, and the pizza was also pretty good. Despite the food being satisfactory, the service left much to be desired. It took an exceptionally long time to receive complimentary ice cream scoops as a birthday dessert, although the server did sing "Happy Birthday." Unfortunately, it also took forever to get the bill and have our card processed. I'm not sure if it was due to the late hour or being short-staffed, but the slow service made the experience less enjoyable. Given this, I might not return as the overall value didn't meet my expectations.

Arrived at 2:30 on Monday with no reservation here is my thought. It's hidden off Scottsdale Rd & North of pinnacle peak. It is absolutely beautiful inside. It is warm & inviting with a gorgeous bar! Hostess was friendly and asked if we had a reservation we informed her we didn't she was very polite and asked us to chose a table. The server was attentive we ordered 2 gin martinis dirty and Our entrees. She attentively suggested a side salad and we obliged. Food- I ordered the half beet salad which was absolutely delicious and my husband ordered the half Italian salad. His entree was shrimp fra diavolo which was huge and delicious. I had the Eggplant Tarte which was the most exquisite eggplant I have ever had. Thinly sliced, light, hand breaded, sauce to breadcrumbs was perfect! SO delicious Overall... hands down the best true Italian food we have had since being here in Scottsdale! Absolutely delicious!

The food and the service is always amazing here. We will continue to go back! It makes us feel appreciated when the owner walks around and talks to people

Great appetizer & service a few months ago... So I immediately thought we should return ASAP. CALLED ON A Tuesday at 4:30pm to make a Saturday reservation or at least ask if I need one... but spent 14 min on hold- without any greeting from the "gentleman", only to be hung up on. Called back to be put on hold without a greeting by a woman.... 30min... still on hold. Maybe they just don't want or need my return business.

Loved this place We had the fried calamari, beet salad and for entree Seafood risotto , and the branzino Service was great ! Ambiance = pretty I will definitely go back when I'm in town again

My husband and I came for restaurant week and had a delicious meal! We had the fried lobster bites and meatballs to start. The meatballs were definitely the fav! Couldn't really taste the lobster after in the bites much. The chicken parmigiana was delicious and a HUGE portion with the side of pasta. I took about half home for another meal!! The sea bass was also delicious - the risotto was pretty dense and heavy but the sea bass was cooked well. The dessert was my favorite (per usual). The tiramisu was delicious and had a deep coffee flavor. The cannoli shell was a bit thick but still complimented the cream filling. Service was just as good as the last time we were in!!

This was our first visit to The Italian Daughter and it did not disappoint. The hostess and server were very polite and knowledgeable. The meal started with a nice portion of freshly baked bread and butter. We then had the Caesar salad for 2 and it was excellent. The pistachios put it over the top. It had the right amount of dressing and cheese and truly is one of the best I have ever had. The inside of the restaurant was spotless and had an intimate feel. The Mezza Rigatoni with Meatballs was fantastic. Sweet with a lot of flavor. Rigatoni was fresh and cooked Al dente. But the rockstar of the night was the Braised Short Rib Tortellacci made with burro fuso, Gorgonzola, and walnuts. The flavors dance together like lovers on starry night. If you try nothing else in Phoenix, you must make the trip to North Scottsdale for this incredible dish. Overall it was an outstanding evening. "FIMP" Food is My Passion

Lovely ambiance, wonderful service, delicious food and the BEST sangria I've ever had!! It's a must try!

It was even better than expected and i had heard it was amazing. The food was superb and the service was 2nd to none. Can't wait to go back. Btw, the cheesy bread is the best Ive ever had! Trust me...,try it!

Celebrating 22yrs with the man of my dreams CadaMia~Mi Amore Our love started with a KISS! Ask for John...he is THE BEST!!!! Stop by and see for yourself ~ The Italian Daughter will become your favorite restaurant...PERIOD The food, the ambiance, the live music, amazing Vino selections...I could go on but I'm limited in the number of characters allowed in the post.

The 4 of us, two couples, had a fantastic dinner last night. My girlfriend ordered the cioppino and it's spectacular along with my bolognese which was very good as well. The other couple ordered the branzino and said it too was great. Service was excellent, manager was very kind and stopped by our table to check on us and see how everything was. Portion sizes are very generous. Definitely, this is the best Italian restaurant in the Valley hands down and a memorable experience. 100% will be going back..much sooner rather than later.

I really wanted to love The Italian Daughter. The vibe is great--super aesthetically pleasing, and the live music was a really nice touch that made the atmosphere feel special. But unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to the setting. I started with the meatball appetizer, and honestly, it reminded me of frozen meatballs from Trader Joe's. Same texture, same flavor--definitely not what you'd expect from a restaurant that calls itself Italian. Then came the chicken parm, which was just... meh. It was such a tiny portion--like maybe a quarter of a chicken breast, and you could literally see where it had been sliced to stretch the serving. Not only was it small, but it just lacked flavor and authenticity. All in all, this place is great for a night out if you're looking for ambiance and live music, but if you're craving real, quality Italian food, you might want to look elsewhere.

As frequent Italian eaters, I can easily put this as top 2 italian restaurants in phx. The carpaccio wasn't anything to write home about (avg) but everything else was. Complementary bread w herb butter - great! My fiancé got the lasagna which was actually the best we ever tasted. The trio of cheeses + red sauce and meatball on the side was fantastic. My veal parm with red sauce was great but maybe the best item? The side of vodka pasta. So creamy and delicious. Live music is a plus. We'll be back!

This place is simply awesome! We took my parents there for my mom's birthday and she loved everything. Mike our server made sure we were well taken care of the whole time. He gave me a wine sample so I could order the perfect one for me. He answered a lot of questions about the different options and all four of us loved what we ordered. I had the linguini with Alfredo sauce and chicken. My mom is the queen of sides, she loved the side salad, side of spaghetti with marinara, and a grilled chicken breast. The ice cream with a chocolate shell was delicious. My husband loved the rigatoni with meatballs, and my dad had the lasagna. The manager Rosalina came over to make sure we were having a great meal. The whole experience leaves you happy with choosing a family owned restaurant that has handcrafted pastas and amazing service!

Happy hour review at the bar. Was hopping early 4:30 on a Friday, place is popular so plan accordingly! We had the red and white rotating wine for 6, generous pour and both were good value! Had the sautéed shrimp and calamari and 1/2 lettuce salad, both excellent. We will be back for dinner when!

We reserved a 17 person table for a bachelorette dinner. Last minute we had to change the date and they were so accommodating. Our table setting was amazing, the host offered to take pictures to capture the memories. Our server, John was incredible and attentive. Musical talent, Alan DeQuina, was amazing, he engaged with our table and took our Bride's song requests. And the food! The food was delicious! Definitely hit the spot for our pasta craving!

During our vacation in Scottsdale, Arizona, we dined at an Italian restaurant. The meatball appetizer was delicious, and the staff were both attentive and courteous. However, given that it's an Italian restaurant, the music could have had more Italian flair. As for the chicken scarpariello, the sausage was too hard, and I was surprised to see it served with mashed potatoes instead of the more traditional roasted potatoes. Having grown up working in Italian restaurants and spending five decades around friends and neighbors who are deeply familiar with Italian cuisine, I believe I have a good understanding of what the dish should be. Overall, it's a good restaurant, but I think that particular dish could benefit from a few updates.

Service was ok, food didn't give me that wow factor I had hoped for, Patricia's pizza place is the better location for good food. I don't need atmosphere, I need food and flavorful food that reminds me to return.

We loved our date night dinner! We sat in the corner half-booth and loved how quiet and intimate it was. Ate the Cesar salad with a crusted Parmesan bowl and it was fantastic!!!! Drink was the daughter. Not pictured was the lasagna, delicious and had leftovers for the next days dinner! & Our server was amazing!!!

Ambience was nice, even though it's on the $$$ end no one dresses up in my opinion, which is fine and makes it more comfortable. The service was good, not great in regards to it being labeled as $$$ , but our food was hot and the food was great. The bread comes out complimentary. The women's restroom was dirty, again, should expect a clean restroom in a restaurant especially $$$ , I would say focus on cleaning the restrooms hourly to ensure an overall pleasant experience. Thanks for the good food

Thank you for a wonderful birthday dinner, Italian Dinner team! From the top notch service to the birthday sign at the table and complementary dessert with candle, you made the evening such a special one for us. We were in town for the weekend and in search of the perfect Italian food spot to celebrate at. I couldn't recommend Italian Daughter highly enough for such an occasion! Service was warm, welcoming and attentive from the start, providing helpful guidance on the deliciously extensive menu. We enjoyed the complementary bread basket while waiting on our mains. The Spaghetti Carbonara got top marks from the birthday boy. I went with the Four Cheese Sachetti after much deliberation. Pillowy soft ravioli-like rectangular morsels were enveloped in "lick the plate, it's that good" creamy, herbaceous pesto sauce. The pasta itself was cooked to al dente perfection, filled with a savory cheese blend. The sundried tomatoes added a bright, acidic pop, balanced by creamy fresh goat cheese and a little textural variation with crunchy pine nuts sprinkled atop. For dessert, we went with the lemon cake--delicious! Bright, tart lemon expertly balanced with light but moist yellow cake and sweet buttercream frosting. The perfect end to the evening! Thank you again, Italian Daughter! Don't miss this spot if you're in Phoenix!

I had the risotto carbonara and cheesy garlic bread. The guanciale (bacon) in the risotto carbonara was practically nonexistent and the dish lacked the creaminess I expected. The cheesy garlic bread was dry and had no garlic flavor whatsoever. First and last time.

Never a bad meal and the service is next level. One of our favs north of the 101. Fantastic Food

Amazing waiters, amazing bread and pesto butter, amazing service, amazing family vibes, amazing cheese, amazing desserts. If you haven't guessed AMAZING!

Everything was delicious! My friend and I agreed Caesar salad was best we'd ever had. Lasagna and Eggplant torte both fantastic. Will definitely return when back in Scottsdale.

Excellent food great service and family ambiance reasonable prices large portions I recommend

After a lot of research and several exchanges with the "Daughter" on Yelp regards their wine list chose to dine there on a Sunday night several weeks ago on a long weekend in the area visiting from Santa Rosa, CA. The evening started off on a bit of an edge as our reservation was lost but General Manager Tim Muse deftly handled seating us at a lovely table as we listened to the sounds of classic rock played live, softly, in the dining room, what a deal. Our waiter turned out to be even better than we expected but unfortunately we have forgotten his name, he's tall and youngest of the servers as he's only been there for 10 years! Wine was our big concern and our waiter was totally familiar with the list and enjoyed discussing the Chianti Classico's with us and once we selected our entree's, a veal dish for me and seared scallops with the best risotto we've ever had (ate the leftovers at the airport the next day) for my wife he guaranteed they would both be great with the Chianti and he was right on. I can still taste it, one of the best I've ever had from a well selected and reasonably priced wine list. We couldn't have been more pleased with the service, the comfort and the quality of the restaurant. If you're looking for a fine meal with people who know what they're doing this is the place to go.

We came here on a Monday night and it was completely packed. We waited about 20min to be seated which was not bad. Our waitress Allie was fantastic and very helpful, I could tell she was really busy but she kept on top of everything. They had a singer and piano guy which was really nice to have the live music. Food was amazing, I loved everything the chicken parm and vodka noodles were so yummy. The pizza surprised me, it was really good.

Great place. Food very tasty, great service. Ambiance wonderful. We will be returning and recomending this restaurant.

We started out with calamari a must try is the garlic sauce it's to die for. Speaking of to die for are the meatball appetizer with polenta marinara sauce "WOW" it was amazing. We also had the bruschetta board it was fantastic. The seafood risotto was was plentiful and loaded with seafood. The service was excellent and attentive to our needs. There is plenty of parking right outside the front door. The negative about our visit was that I famished and couldn't try the tiramisu and the Best New York style cheesecake. It looks like I will be back soon and make room for dessert. The Italian Daughter meds to be added to your bucket list, love this place. Ciao!!

After spending an hour searching for a nice dinner spot, we ended up choosing The Italian Daughter, and I'm so happy we did. The 6 of us came at 7:30pm on a Sunday with a reservation to sit on the "comfortable enclosed outdoor patio". Not sure about enclosed as it was pretty breezy, but the patio was still a nice experience. Sasha, our server, went above and beyond to stay on top of our needs! He also gave great menu recommendations. Honestly, all of our entrees were great. The portions were large and the flavors were there. Of all of the entrees, I probably liked mine the least (the short rib entree), because the flavors were lacking a bit. Everyone else really loved every dish and we all left with leftovers. Finally, Sasha caught wind that it was one of our friends' birthdays and brought a cute little treat for her. We had a really nice dinner and I would definitely come by here again to try more items off the menu!

Nightly music was a plus, the best short rib stuffed pasta, perfectly made Old Fashion and our server Carmen was great
