North Italia officially opened Wednesday at The Shoppes at Casa Paloma on the southeast corner of Ray Road and 54th Street in west Chandler, marking the homegrown concept’s seventh Arizona location.
The 8,397-square-foot space seats 203 inside plus 44 on a fully covered patio warmed by an outdoor fireplace. Inside, look for a custom mural by local artist Price Goodman, a former North Italia server, and the signature open kitchen where you can watch pizzas get tossed and pasta rolled daily.
Classics like the White Truffle Garlic Bread ($17) share the menu with new dishes, including Fusilli al Telefono ($19), a Crispy Chicken Piccata with marinated artichokes ($28), and a Double Pepperoni Pizza ($23). The pepperoni pizza also comes as a flatbread ($10) during happy hour.
(Pictured: Sunday Night Lasagna with braised short rib, Italian sausage, rustic marinara, provolone, and garlic bread, $25.)
