A Taste of Tradition in Scottsdale

If you’re looking for a cozy spot in Scottsdale that serves up comforting, authentic Italian food, DiMaggio’s Italian Restaurant is a must visit. With a menu rooted in tradition and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this local gem brings the flavors of Italy to the heart of Arizona. Whether you're in the mood for handcrafted pasta, classic Italian favorites, or a great glass of wine, DiMaggio’s delivers a dining experience that feels like home.


Classic Italian Dishes with a Homemade Touch

DiMaggio’s prides itself on serving scratch-made dishes prepared with high-quality ingredients. One of the standout starters is their Bocconcini Al Forno, fresh homemade mozzarella balls wrapped in prosciutto and baked in a homemade sauce until bubbly. Served with some fresh ciabatta, it is one of my favorite dishes in Arizona.


For pasta lovers, they have a great selection of fresh homemade pasta, but if you stop by on a Friday or Saturday, you can experience their  Famous House Made Lasagna. This giant piece of lasagna is made special and sells out so quick, I'd recommend calling ahead to save a piece. It is also big enough for 2-3 people, so come hungry.


If you're in the mood for seafood, the Linguine with Clams is an excellent choice, featuring fresh clams tossed in a garlic white wine sauce that lets the freshness of the ingredients shine.


Hearty Entrées & Signature Specialties

Beyond pasta, DiMaggio’s offers a selection of classics that don’t disappoint. Their Chicken Parmesan, crispy breaded chicken smothered in marinara and melted mozzarella, served over a bed of spaghetti, is a fan favorite and a massive portion. If you’re looking for something on the spicy side, their Spicy Rigantoni is a great option.


Sweet Endings & Perfect Pairings

No Italian meal is complete without dessert, and DiMaggio’s doesn’t disappoint. Their Tiramisu is light yet indulgent and is made fresh by the owners wife.


Pair your meal with a selection from their curated wine list, which includes a nice mix of Italian reds and whites to complement every dish. They also have a nice selection of classic handcrafted cocktails, to make a great addition to your dining experience.
