North Italia will open its seventh Arizona restaurant in Chandler on November 11 at 7221 W. Ray Road, the company’s website confirms.
The chain is taking over the former Z’Tejas Southwestern Grill location and already operates restaurants in Gilbert, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Tucson.
The 8,397-square-foot restaurant at The Shoppes at Casa Paloma will seat 203 guests inside and another 44 on a covered patio, In Business reports. An open kitchen, a patio fireplace, and a mural by local artist and former North Italia server Price Goodman are part of the design.
The Italian restaurant chain serves fresh pasta, pizza, salads, and sandwiches. Its kitchens make pasta from scratch daily. The wine list includes Italian reds and whites. Cocktails and zero-proof drinks are also available.
The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated bought North Italia in October 2019. North Italia now has more than 50 company-owned restaurants across the United States. California and Texas have the most locations.
