PHOENIX — The Italiano, the latest addition to The Maggiore Group’s Valley restaurant empire, has an official opening date.
The restaurant will start serving elevated Italian fare at 90th Street and Shea Boulevard in Scottsdale on Sept. 20, the company announced.
The Italiano is The Maggiore Group’s sixth dining concept in metro Phoenix, joining Hash Kitchen, The Mexicano, The Rosticceria, The Sicilian Butcher and The Sicilian Baker.
“This is truly our best concept yet! We’re drawing inspiration from every corner of Italy to blend age-old traditions with innovative approaches,” Joey Maggiore, chef and co-founder of The Maggiore Group, said in a press release Wednesday. “We can’t wait for you to experience our family’s heritage in a new and familiar way.”
