We went to DiMaggio's for my birthday, and what a great choice it was. My wife and son brought me here, and from the food to the service, it was a fantastic dinner. My grandmother was from Sicily and my grandfather was from Vallata in southern Italy, so good Italian food has always had a special place in my heart. A lot of the food here reminded me of sitting at my grandmother's house having a Sunday dinner. We started with the calamari, which was excellent. In fact, that was the only thing we ate that didn't end up coming home in a doggy bag! The portions are huge. For dinner, I had the bone-in, butterflied veal Parmesan over linguine, and it was outstanding. We also had the spicy rigatoni with sweet sausage, the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the shrimp scampi. Everything came out cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The service and Ambience was also great. Everyone was friendly and attentive, and we never felt rushed. Then, just when I thought dinner was over, they brought out a birthday cannoli with a candle. That was a really nice touch and a great way to finish the night. I'll definitely be going back to DiMaggio's--and I'm not waiting until my next birthday. There are too many other things on the menu I want to try! read more

Huge portions, even by American standards. The rib, rigatoni, and parm were all very good. The only disappointment was the amatriciana. The guanciale tasted like it had been cooked too hot/fast rather than slowly rendered--it was burned in places while the fat was still chewy. The sauce was thick and smooth, more like passata than the lighter tomato texture I expected, and there was so much Calabrian chile that it overwhelmed the guanciale, pecorino, and tomato rather than complementing them. Everything else was very good, and we'd come back--I'd just order a different pasta next time. read more

I decided to make a reservation on open table for our date night 2 Fridays ago. As soon as we walked in the restaurant there is no place to wait for your table other than a small space between the door and the hostess desk. We were offered a table on the hot patio or a small table in front of the door where patrons wait for their table. We took the small table and had to ask them to push the table further from the door for the only privacy we had. Our server took forever to get our drink order and appeared high on something. We waited forever for our wine selections to the point a manager took our water order. We ordered the Lasagna and short rib pasta. Both were pricey but we heard great things about both. The food came out really fast but we were disappointed again! The Lasagna had cheese on the top only! Inside there was next to no meat or cheese. It was basically pasta and tomato sauce and for $45 it is a joke. The pasta meat was great but the sauce and pasta were awful and no flavor. We noticed the same manager that took our water order giving other tables fresh Parmesan cheese to their plates and he walked past us 3 times without asking us. We were done at this point. We asked for boxes and didn't even take them home. We will NEVER come back here! Don't waste your money or date night. read more

My brothers took me here for my birthday and we had a good experience. Our waitress was very friendly and I'd give 5 stars just for her service. Unfortunately I can't recall her name but she was helpful and very patient when we asked questions and was very personable! The food was pretty good. I will say we don't eat Italian food very often. The portions are HUGE and can definitely feed 2-3 people per entree. We ordered the shrimp scampi appetizer, a crudo (I think), veal, braised short ribs, and lasagna. The shrimp scampi appetizer was different than I was expecting but it was pretty tasty. I wasn't a big fan of the breadcrumbs so not sure if I'd order again but if that's something you enjoy, I'd recommend it. The crudo was good but I felt it was a little bit fishy. The veal wasn't bad but also didn't feel like anything special? It was tender and cooked well, but didn't really stand out. We ordered the lasagna due to the limited quantity but it fell short and felt really dry. The braised short rib on the other hand was the star of the show. It was soo tender and just a big flavor bomb. Can't recommend the short rib enough. We ordered the tiramisu for dessert and my toddler got some limoncello gelato (unfortunately they were out of all other flavors). We also got complimentary cannolis which were good. We were told they were homemade by the owner's wife as well. My toddler demolished the chocolate chips lol. All in all I would definitely return just for the service and the braised short rib. I also recommend coming with a big group so you can try a few different dishes. read more

Di Maggios (and our server, Vince) made our anniversary so special! We had an amazing first experience here. I saw a few of my foodie favs talking a out Di Maggio's on IG and it just so happened to be our anniversary week so I snagged a reservation. I did book a table at the patio and there are intense misters on. I did not know this, oops. But our server was so nice and accomodating and they were able to move us to a table inside. We got a nice little booth and were both amazed at the service we received. Vince is super knowledgeable about the restaurant, the history, the chef and dishes. Choices were hard to make but we landed on the arancini, the Don meatball, chicken parm and chicken alla michele. For our anniversary, we got a couple of drinky drink surprises which was so thoughtful. Don't skip dessert here - order the cheesecake! Apparently it is made by the chef's wife and was so delicious. I have taken my boyfriend to Banhams on a couple occasions and he much preferred the Di Maggio's cheesecake. read more

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. read more

Exquisite food! We had the veal parmigiana and Barolo-braised short ribs, and WOW. The short ribs were hands down the best I've ever had. Incredibly tender, rich, succulent, and packed with flavor--honestly, every good adjective I can think of, lol. Absolutely delicious and worth every bite! read more

If you're looking for good Italian food, this is a good contender. This place came highly recommended and has experienced a significant amount of attraction from social media posts. That is quite evident upon walking into a very small but crowded restaurant. I highly recommend having a reservation because even with one, you will probably have to wait for your table. Our server was Jeremy. He was super helpful in explaining the must have as this was our first time here. You can tell he was definitely honest and passionate. We started with the Crudo of the week, which I believe was Ahi tuna with pomegranate and some type of orange citrus... No real qualms, it was fresh, but kind of fell out a place for the restaurant. Upon Jeremy's recommendation, we got the lasagna and a spicy rigatoni. The lasagna is limited availability so keep that in mind if you're coming specifically for that. However, should the lasagna not be available, just order the spicy rigatoni, you will not be disappointed. The portion sizes here are quite generous, which is fitting for an Italian restaurant. My partner, and I could've easily shared one entrée. In fact, the lasagna is gargantuan. My jaw dropped when I saw it come to the table, it is that massive. Both of the entrées were delicious. It's homestyle comfort food through and through. The spice rigatoni is a very bright acid with the tomato sauce complemented by a slight heat from the Calabrian chili, and all brought together with perfect Al dente rigatoni and sweet, Italian sausage. The lasagna was meaty, rich, and heavy, but in a satisfying way. Definitely one of the better lasagnas I've had at a restaurant. As far as drinks go, I had two glasses of Sangiovese, which were pretty fairly priced, and my partner had two cocktails, which were a bit more on the expensive side. He liked them, but didn't love them. The smoked old-fashioned is kind of what they're known for in the drink department. We received a complementary tiramisu as we were celebrating an anniversary, and it was very charming. Definitely very rich and creamy, not so much espresso and very light on the lady fingers. All in all, we spent around 191 before tip, which is what we expected. You definitely get the impression it's a neighborhood spot, but not neighborhood prices..if that makes sense. You can dress it up or down, but the entrées were definitely on the expensive side for what the atmosphere sells itself as. That being said, I am eager to come back and explore the menu a bit more. Entrées were fabulous. read more

Can't wait to try this new location as I haven't been since they moved. My father has dementia and thought we were going to maggianos so he went there but me and my family ate without him at dimaggios anyway and had a great time SORRY POPS. He eventually caught up to us and the server let us stay late and even brought a dessert. Amazing hospitality. LINGUINE AND CLAMS delicious! And pair it with the Chardonnay.. wow the meat ragu. Dessert to die for. Love the appetizers. Beautiful setting. They take care of you and make you feel like you are a blood relative. read more

To his credit, the owner called me promptly after reading my original review. He was very apologetic, and explained that the hostess should have brought him into the situation so that he could have resolved it. He invited us back as his guests, and I expect that our next experience will be much better. read more

The food was really really good. Definitely see why this place gets all hype. The service was spot on. Really excellent service. And the ambience was super nice. It had a New York Italian type feel. We definitely will be going back. read more

First time going to DiMaggio's since they moved to a new location and I was blown away by the new spot! The ambiance is great and feels like the perfect spot to grab a meal with friends or family. Our server did a great job of explaining all of the dishes and helping us decide on what to order. My favorite dish was the Veal Parmesan, it was pounded very thin and cooked perfectly. The other special, Tortellini, was homemade with a delicious creamy Parmesan sauce. For starters, we loved the house mozzarella, some of the best fresh mozz I've had in Arizona! Can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. read more

Delicious entrees! We Came here on a Friday night. We had reservations and were seated within a few minutes. We were provided bread and olive oil while we waited for out food (plain oil, I would've liked if it had some seasoning or herbs in it for taste). We got the chicken Parmesan and the tortellini entrées ... ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The plates came out hot and the food was fresh. and the portion size for the chicken Parmesan was very generous. We were so stuffed that we did not have room for dessert. I definitely plan to come back and try some other dishes. The Alfredo Diablo sounded delicious. read more

We have recently celebrated a birthday here and had such a fantastic experience, we decided to go back with an out of town guest. We were equally impressed. The service was amazing. Our server was able to answer all of our questions and her recommendations we delicious. The House Pulled Mozzarella was the best Mozzarella. So fresh with the best flavor. Big hits at the table were also the Spicy Rigatoni, Eggplant Stack and of course the lasagna. I would give 20 stars if possible. read more

We've been dying to try this place after seeing it all over social media and hearing friends rave about it. We finally went last week for my birthday on a Thursday night, and it was absolutely slammed! Definitely make a reservation. The restaurant has indoor, bar, and outdoor seating, all with a great atmosphere. The New York Italian theme really shines through with the red booths, vintage photos, and classic mob-style vibe. Unfortunately, the service was a big disappointment. We sat down at 6:15, ordered cocktails right away, and didn't receive them until about 6:50. We actually saw them sitting on the bar for nearly 15 minutes and had to ask our server where they were. The issues continued when she tried to rush us into ordering dinner before we even had our drinks. After our appetizer, we ordered a bottle of wine, and about 20 minutes later she came back asking if we wanted any other drinks--clearly forgetting the bottle we had already ordered. That said, the food was outstanding and truly made up for the poor service. We started with the clams in white wine sauce, which were incredibly fresh and generously sized. For dinner, we had the Alfredo Diablo and the Chicken Parm, and both were fantastic. The Alfredo was silky and perfectly balanced with Calabrian chilis, while the chicken parm had a bold, garlicky, basil-forward red sauce. We loved both dishes. For dessert, we had the olive oil cake, which was rich, moist, and delicious. We finished with the house-made limoncello and were blown away--it wasn't that artificial bright yellow you usually see, but a light, natural color that clearly showed it was homemade. Overall, we would absolutely go back because the food was that good. We'd just hope for a much better service experience next time. read more

Just not impressed. What I liked: the fine dining table setting, it was all very even and seams faced down. The wood-fired oven on the floor with fresh bread coming out. The baked rigatoni was pretty good. And the bartender, who wasn't even our server, was the happiest guy alive. But that's about it. I didn't like the Caesar salad, and the house meatball, calamari, and tomato mozzarella were really no good. There were 9 of us stuffed at a table, which is... eh, fine I guess. But man, we had dishes all over the place that needed clearing. And beyond the table settings and oven, the interior was not special in my opinion. Everyone was very friendly however, which is a good plus. It's not a bad place, but for the price I would not come back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Totally disappointed. Where do I begin? Very overpriced. Very underwhelming. Influencer hype. The food was awful. For starters, we wanted to start with a round of drinks and an appetizer while we decided what we wanted for entrées and sides.Sorry, the waitress informed us, the kitchen prefers you order everything all at once! What? That's a first. Anyway, we didn't pushback. Started with the Sicilian Crudo. Bland. Decent portion of sliced fish with a little bit of oil, a slice of orange or grapefruit and an edible flower. That was it. No flavor no pizzazz no nothing. For 25 bucks it should be called the Sicilian joke. Next came the large Caesar salad to split. It was above average, probably the best thing of the night.Dressing was thin and somewhat tasty, but not sure if it was made in house or out of a bottle. Onto the entrées - linguine and clams, and chicken Parm with linguine marinara.The linguine and clams again was another bland fest. Linguine, some clams, some oil, and a lot of heat from the Calabrian chili. No flavor of garlic, or parsley, or white wine, or salt, nothing. Chicken Parm was a disaster, for $49 It should be lights out, but it was far from it. The chicken cutlet was flimsy, soft, instead of crispy.,The marinara was meh. The only thing they got right was that the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. A couple bites of each entrée and we were done. Didn't even ask for the entrees to be boxed up to go, the entrées were that lame.We'd had enough. Server could tell we were not pleased with the entire experience, offered us a free shot of lemoncello which we respectfully declined got our check paid and left. The place was packed on a Tuesday night in July, I and other people who've had similar experiences here just don't get it. Is it the social media buzz? I follow several local food influencers on Instagram and their praise of this place is over the top super effusive, are they getting reimbursed? Are they being showered with freebies/comps to heap praise on an extremely mediocre Italian joint? Who knows. What I do know with 100% certainty is that will never return. read more

Di Maggio's blew me away. Every dish tasted like it was made with care, from the sauces to the pasta to the bread on the table. It's honestly some of the best Italian food I've had in a long time. Everything was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully cooked. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and attentive service really put the experience over the top. This is the kind of spot that makes you want to come back again and again. The homemade mozzarella was absolutely delectable and the homemade pasta had the best flavor and practically melted in your mouth; in the best way! The portions are ginormous and perfect for sharing. With everything being prepared from scratch, you may wait a little longer for your food, but trust me, it's worth the wait. The eggplant stack and the lasagna are also a must order. The lasagna is only served on Fridays and Saturdays, so make sure to dine then! read more

Di Maggio's ....WOW !! So after being recommended by several friends, and @MrAzSports we decided it was time to check it out. So just an FYI it's not so easy to get a reservation here, but so worth it when you do. First, as we walked in, we were greeted by none other than Larry Fitzgerald as we walked in. ( he just happened to be there) Ok for starters the staff were very friendly and accommodating, and we were seated right away. Our server was Vincent, who was great and gave us really good recommendations. For drinks we had the Moscato and the eye-opener as well as a Carajillo which all were fantastic. For appetizers, we started with the Hamachi Crudo special, the clams oreganata, the Arancini of the day, and the shrimp scampi. WOW they were so good. For entrées we had the spicy rigatoni and the chicken Parmigiana. Both were AMAZING !! For which I'd have to say that the chicken Parm is the best I've ever had. For desserts we had the chocolate Budino, the Zeppole's, and the Affogato which all were super good. As an added bonus, we got to meet Chef Ryan, who really gave us a rundown of why the restaurant is so special. This is definitely our top Italian spot in AZ. read more

While the service was exemplary, I cannot say that regarding the food. The antipasto... arancini and whipped mozzarella was very good, the entrees were quite a disappointment. The rigatoni with eggplant was undercooked leaving the eggplant hard to cut and bitter to the taste. The chicken à la Norma was incredibly overcooked making it difficult to cut and rubbery to chew. The presentation of both dishes was sloppy and less than inviting making the $50 price tag out of bounds. The ambiance was white table cloth making the dishes served a curious disconnect. read more

Tried the clams, chicken parm, shrimp scampi, and calamari. Clams lacked flavor. Overwhelming amount of sauce and cheese on the chicken parm leaving the chicken soggy.

Went to Di Maggio's and accidentally ordered "the entire comfort-food section" of the menu... no regrets, just a very happy food coma. We started with the bread + olive oil + balsamic, which is basically a trap. You tell yourself "just one piece" and then suddenly the basket is empty and you're bargaining for more like Oliver Twist. The arancini were legit--crispy little rice bombs with a creamy center, perfect with marinara. The Caesar salad was fresh and crunchy with plenty of parm (the kind of salad that almost convinces you you're being responsible). The broccolini was garlicky, tender, and exactly what you need to balance out everything else you're about to do to yourself. Main event: chicken parmesan was the table favorite--big portion, gooey cheese, and a bold red sauce that tastes like it's been simmering for hours. The lasagna was rich, saucy, and comforting in that classic "I should've worn sweatpants" way--layers on layers, lots of cheese, very satisfying. Side note, this is only available on select days. We finished everything off with the cheesecake and even though we were completely stuffed we made room for quite possibly the best cheesecake I've ever had at a restaurant. (My sister still holds the record for best cheesecake.) Why not 5 stars? Our server was a bit forgetful, we had to ask a couple times for bread, sauce, water. In the end a couple bites leaned a little heavy/rich and we were fully stuffed halfway through (not a problem, just a warning--pace yourself unless you enjoy waddling). Overall though, this is a solid go-to spot for a cozy Italian dinner where the food feels generous and the vibe makes you want to linger. I'll definitely be back... and I'm ordering extra bread next time on purpose. read more
