We also rounded up a few of our local chefs to pass along some recipes for you to try at home. We started with a Phoenix tradition—Tomaso Maggiore's famous meatballs. You can make up a batch of your own, or try an incredible assortment of meatballs and homemade pasta at The Sicilian Butcher in Park West. Next, we stopped by Picazzo's for some healthy gluten-free, yet delicious food. We made off with a recipe for Moroccan Chicken that welcomes all the flavors of fall.

ROAD

ALONGSIDE

HIS

WIFE

PATRICIA MAGGIORE. Born and raised in Sicily, Tomaso learned how to cook by preparing meals in the kitchen with his mother. Sicily is where his passion started to create dishes with quality, well-sourced ingredients. He had an American dream to come to the US—the land of opportunity—and moved to New York City at age 19. After growing tired of the cold East Coast winters, he moved to the warm weather in Arizona. It was here his dream came true when he opened Tomaso’s. It still serves fine Italian cuisine in its original location. Joey Maggiore, Tomaso’s son, always admired his father’s magnetic personality, charisma and culinary talents. He started working in Tomaso’s at a young age to learn how to make fresh pasta, meatballs, pasta sauces and all of his father’s time-tested Italian recipes. He went on to be a server and front-of-the-house manager before opening his own restaurants in San Diego. Joey Maggiore returned to Arizona and opened Hash Kitchen in 2015, followed by The Sicilian Butcher in 2017. Joey has a passion to carry on his father’s legacy and his father’s love for food, wine, family and creating a memorable dining experience. TheSicilianButcher.com

About The Sicilian Butcher

Chef Joey Maggiore and his wife Cristina created The Sicilian Butcher as a tribute to Tomaso Maggiore. The menu is a build-your-own meatball experience where guests choose their meatball variation (including Tomaso’s Sicilian meatballs), a sauce, and a base like fresh pasta, risotto, or polenta to complete the dish.

PICAZZO’S HEALTHY ITALIAN KITCHEN (Picazzos.com) IS A FAMILY-OWNED ARIZONA RESTAURANT THAT OPENED IN SEDONA IN 2002 SERVING GREAT-TASTING HEALTH-CONSCIOUS FOOD. There are now locations across the Valley, including the Arrowhead location. Director of Operations Chris Disney explains that Picazzo’s takes a fusion approach to modern-Italian cuisine, with bold flavors of Asian, Mediterranean, and Mexican ingredients. The restaurant sources clean, whole foods and offers gluten-free and vegetarian dishes. Disney whipped up a Moroccan Chicken that might appear as a special on the fall menu. To create this recipe, you can purchase a Moroccan seasoning blend, or blend Disney’s custom mix: 1 Tbsp ground cloves; 1/2 Tbsp ground cardamom; 2 Tbsp each ground coriander, ground cinnamon, granulated garlic, ground ginger and ground cumin; and 7 Tbsp each ground turmeric and ground allspice.
