    Peyton was an amazing companion for my birthday celebration. The food was excellent. His advice on pairing wines was solid. That’s very important to me. I know quite a bit about wine, but I always appreciate a good recommendation on the restaurant-specific dish. And so it was a lovely evening and I’m so glad I chose The Italian Daughter. It is my sincere hope that I might meet the actual Daughter so I can thank her in person. Grazie!

    The wait staff, (including even the busboy!) was some of the best service Ive seen at a restaurant up in Cave Creek/Carefree. Place is always one of our favorites because of the unique menu items but also because it feels like you are in a very family oriented environment. From the bus boy to the bartender to the server, you are very well taken care of. The cheesy garlic bread was a bit bland this time, the mozz sticks are nothing special, but the sauce and the Pizzacata pizza and the Amatriciana more than made up for it.
