To drink at The Italian Daughter: Italian-inspired craft cocktails, wines and beers, and something fun called a gelato martini.
Joey and Melissa will continue to operate Tomaso’s Italian Restaurant, with plans to give it a refresh this year. Melissa also plans to soon open her own concept, The Italian Daughter, in north Scottsdale. In addition, the Maggiore family will launch The Tomaso Maggiore Culinary Education Scholarship (more details on that to come).
According to a press release, Maggiore had “stirred up more than 49,000 pots of his famous marinara, something he enjoyed personally making every morning until his last days.”
