North Italia has named an opening date for its new location in Peoria.

The restaurant will open in Peoria on Wednesday, Oct 9, at 8163 W. Paradise Lane, according to a news release.

The opening marks the restaurant's fifth location in the Grand Canyon State, with a sixth slated to open in Tempe in early 2025.

Situated in the P83 Entertainment District within the Peoria Sports Complex, North Italia is walking distance to the Enclave at Arrowhead apartment complex, Arrowhead Crossing shopping mall and Arrowhead Towne Center. It is also located near hotels, corporate offices, a movie theater, Arizona Broadway Theatre and more.

The 9,858-square-foot dining space will seat 310 guests and includes an indoor/outdoor bar with fully covered patio. The space also boasts three murals by Brilly Design Co., which will be unique to the Peoria location, in addition to artwork that pays homage to Arizona’s desert landscape and the surrounding community.

Spearheading the kitchen and operation team at North Italia Peoria are Regional Chef Chris Barch, Executive Chef Adrian Gamez and General Manager Jenn Garrett.

As a treat to North Italia’s home state, these items will debut in Peoria before they hit the menus of other North Italia locations nationwide this November.

Reservations will soon be available via OpenTable. Guests will be able to enjoy lunch, happy hour, dinner, and weekend brunch service, plus takeout, online ordering, and delivery via DoorDash.

The restaurant is holding a job fair ahead of the opening starting Wednesday, Sept. 4 through Wednesday, Sept. 18, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Mondays–Saturdays and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sundays at the Peoria Sports Complex, 16101 N 83rd Ave, Peoria, Arizona 85382.
