The Rosticceria has announced its official grand opening this week. Serving Abruzzo-style cooking with a menu collection of wood-fired meats with an Italian twist, the new Phoenix restaurant is set to open its doors to the public this Friday, December 15, 2023 at 3 p.m. To celebrate the grand opening, the first 50 guests on Friday will receive a FREE milkshake!
The Rosticceria is the newest concept by local restaurant team The Maggiore Group. The restaurant features Abruzzo-style cooking with a menu collection of wood-fired meats with an Italian twist. Menu favorites include Arizona’s only authentic Neapolitan fried pizza, rotisserie chicken and porchetta, a savory Italian culinary tradition. Other Italian staples on the menu include calzones, paninis, arrosticini (herb rubbed skewered wood-fired meats) and desserts including zeppole, pizzelle, Italian s’mores, and a craft cocktail menu featuring Meringue Limoncello Margaritas, Joey’s Negroni, Cristina’s Aperol Spritz and more. Guests can also enjoy the signature build-your-own soft serve gelato shake bar with over 40 toppings offered.
“The inspiration for the new concept came from traveling through the Rome and Abruzzo regions with my wife Cristina and father Tomaso,” says Joey Maggiore, chef and co-founder of The Maggiore Group and Chef Joey Concepts in a statement. “We loved the grilled meats and the porchetta, and I am still dreaming about it.”
The new 5,372 square foot restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating to accompany a total of 226 guests. The interior design of The Rosticceria, led by Chef Joey’s wife Cristina Maggiore, incorporates inspiration from their travels – envision Roman relics and graffiti. The venue also features an expansive bar and innovative DJ booth to provide weekly live entertainment.
The Rosticceria is located at 12811 N. Tatum Blvd., Phoenix, AZ 85032 and will be open daily from 3 PM to 11 PM. Happy hour will be offered Monday through Friday.
