Tomaso has been a culinary hero in the Valley for more than four decades, opening his first restaurant alongside his wife Patricia, Tomaso\u2019s Italian Restaurant, in September of 1977 on the Camelback Corridor. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Tomaso has launched more than 50 restaurants between Arizona and California, served over two million customers, created 27,000 jobs, and stirred up more than 49,000 pots of his famous marinara, something he enjoyed personally making every morning until his last days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Tomaso was born and raised in Sicily, the southern region of Italy and is a true example of the American dream with the culinary empire he created. With his relentless hard work and the goal of bringing authentic Italian cuisine to Arizona, Tomaso gained the hearts and palates of supporters all over the region and nation. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>A true titan, Chef Tomaso Maggiore has personally impacted and inspired the lives of so many and made a positive impact on the entire Arizona food scene. He always treated his guests like family and enjoyed nothing more than sharing his love for great food with the community. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"750\"  height=\"451\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20142344\/Photo-Jan-21-12-29-42-PM-1-80x48.jpg\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-22004 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"  data-pk-src=\"http:\/\/arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Photo-Jan-21-12-29-42-PM-1-750x451.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20142344\/Photo-Jan-21-12-29-42-PM-1-750x451.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20142344\/Photo-Jan-21-12-29-42-PM-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20142344\/Photo-Jan-21-12-29-42-PM-1-768x462.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20142344\/Photo-Jan-21-12-29-42-PM-1-380x228.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20142344\/Photo-Jan-21-12-29-42-PM-1-800x481.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20142344\/Photo-Jan-21-12-29-42-PM-1-80x48.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20142344\/Photo-Jan-21-12-29-42-PM-1.jpg 988w\" ><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Tomaso\u2019s passion was cooking and making lasting memories with exceptional dining experiences. He was a welcoming host who only cared about serving quality cuisine as though his guests were at his own dinner table. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>He often visited vegetable farms locally, across the country, and in Europe to source fresh ingredients for his entrees while also adopting the latest cooking techniques to incorporate the true essence of Italy in every bite, making sure his guests enjoyed only the finest meals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Tomaso was not only my father but my idol and his love and passion for the restaurant industry, cooking and Sicily will continue to live on through our restaurants. <br \/><br \/>It is my goal to honor his legacy and make him proud with amazing restaurants and delectable food.

He also had an affinity for fine wine and created his own Southern Italy Red, Luxus Reserva, made from grapes sourced from his vineyard in Sicily. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>He was extremely passionate about his hometown and frequently led trips overseas to share the experience with others. An eternal optimist, he always looked at the bright side and never lost hope which led him to sustain his restaurant empire for over 40 years even through obstacles and recessions. Though he saw great success in his career, he always remained humble and never lost the passion for personally leading his kitchens or rolling one of his famous meatballs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>My father was my hero and inspiration for all I do.
