The Maggiore Group
While The Maggiore Group was officially founded by Joey Maggiore, Cristina Maggiore and Flora Tersigni in 2019, its roots began in 1977 when Maggiore family patriarch and renowned chef Tomaso Maggiore - who was born and raised in the Sicily region of Italy and who passed earlier this year - opened Tomaso's in Phoenix.Today, The Maggiore Group boasts Tomaso's as well as The Italian Daughter, Sicilian Baker, Sicilian Butcher and Hash Kitchen concepts across the Valley. The family-owned and operated brand plans to double in size over the next year, which will include expansion out of Arizona - likely into Houston, Dallas and/or Denver - as well as aggressive growth of current and new concepts, including a Mexican eatery called The Mexicano, within Arizona.
