DiMaggio’s Italian Restaurant, located at 3370 N. Hayden Road in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, is a heartfelt tribute to classic Italian-American dining, blending the charm of Little Italy with the warmth of a neighborhood favorite. Founded by Brandon and Michele Gioffre and reimagined through a collaboration with Frank DiMaggio of MDF Development, the restaurant evolved into a refined yet unpretentious destination where every detail honors traditional Italian hospitality. With cozy booths, dim lighting, vintage décor, and crisp white tablecloths, the ambiance evokes East Coast nostalgia, while the menu showcases fresh mozzarella and standout dishes like pappardelle Bolognese, spicy rigatoni, Barolo-braised short ribs, and veal parmesan. Guests can enjoy expertly crafted cocktails like the Aperol Spritz and a curated Italian wine list in a setting that feels like home. Backed by a dedicated in-house team of designers and culinary professionals, DiMaggio’s is more than a restaurant—it’s a celebration of timeless flavors, market-savvy innovation, and the kind of genuine service that turns first-time diners into lifelong regulars. Whether you're here for a casual weeknight dinner or a special occasion, DiMaggio’s delivers a truly authentic and elevated Italian experience in the heart of Scottsdale. DiMaggio has plans to open a second location in 2025 specializing in pizza.
