    We’re a group of Syracuse, NY and Boston Italians having a family weekend visiting in AZ (two of us NYers live in Phoenix) and we were thoroughly impressed with DiMaggio’s! The head chef even came out to check on us to ask how everything was tasting. One of the best Caesar salads I’ve ever had. Spicy Reggaeton, so flavorful loves the Callabra and spice and garlic. Chicken scarpiella was bomb in terms of the white wine marinade. The Pomodoro was on point and I had to take home some of the bread which I enjoyed the next morning. Needless to say, we will definitely be back!

    I didn’t have any food just drinks and they were really good. I went when the weather wasn’t the best but it was still an amazing view, the heaters were out and the bartenders were amazing.

    The ambiance in the both the bar and the restaurant was perfect. Moody and sexy in the bar, vibrant and energetic in the restaurant. We did enjoy the acoustics, which allowed for hearing the music without having to yell to hear each other. It felt both open and intimate. The food was amazing as well. We had the wagyu filet mignon, green beans, mashed potatoes and lemon chicken, as well as the chocolate bar for dessert. Plus a half dozen oysters. Everything tasted amazing, as did the cocktails. I highly recommend this place for a night of fine dining.

     Certainly! Here’s a polished version of your review for OpenTable: We had a fantastic dining experience at this sushi restaurant! The food was fresh and delicious, with a great variety of options to suit different tastes. We brought a friend who isn’t a fan of raw sushi, and he was pleasantly surprised by the number of alternative choices available (though we still think he should give real sushi a try!). It was also his birthday, and the restaurant went above and beyond by surprising him with a dessert, which was absolutely delightful. Our three-year-old son also had a great time and enjoyed his bento box, making this a wonderful spot for families. The atmosphere was inviting, the service was attentive, and overall, we had an excellent experience. We’ll definitely be back!

    Great fresh food with an interesting menu. Love the guacamole that is made fresh at your table. It’s spendy but on par with most restaurant prices in the area. Friendly staff.
