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 re...

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!

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.

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!

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.
