La Bocca Urban Kitchen & Wine Bar closes in Tempe & Phoenix

La Bocca Urban Kitchen & Wine Bar has closed its two remaining Valley locations – the original in downtown Tempe and another at High Street in northeast Phoenix.

A third location in downtown Chandler closed after a 2017 fire.

La Bocca’s upscale menu featured bruschetta, pastas, and gourmet pizzas.

Prolific Valley restaurateur Julian Wright launched La Bocca in 2008. He sold the concept, along with Modern Margarita, to the Mill Avenue Management Group shortly after opening Pedal Haus Brewery in 2015.
