A third consecutive Italian restaurant, La Cucina di Venti, has taken over the north Mesa building formerly occupied by RigaTony’s and, most recently, Mardenely’s.
Located on Brown between Center and Mesa, La Cucina di Venti offers Naples-style pizzas ($10.95-$14.95), pasta dishes ($13.95-$16.95) and traditional Italian entrees ($15.95-$29.95).
The concept, which bills itself as a “trattoria, pizzeria and enoteca,” comes from California, where it has two locations – one near Los Angeles and another near San Francisco.
The new restaurant is about a mile away from the similarly named Italian deli Cucina di Vita in downtown Mesa.
