McMahon's new eatery Italia opens today
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 05.08.2008
Restaurateur Bob McMahon's newest venture, Italia, will open at 4 p.m. today at 6464 E. Tanque Verde Road, the location of the former City Grill.
Hours will be 4-10 p.m. today through Saturday. On Mother's Day, the restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Chef Jon Wirtis, out of Portland, Ore., will head Italia's kitchen, which will serve cuisine from all regions of Italy.
"It's going to be unusual for Tucson," McMahon said. "It's Italian-Italian food, not Italian-American food."
Starting Monday, Italia's hours will be from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. for lunch Mondays-Fridays and 4-10 p.m. Sundays-Thursdays for dinner. On Fridays and Saturdays, the restaurant will be open from 4 to 10:30 p.m.
Call 733-1111 for reservations.
McMahon's Metro Restaurants group operates six eateries in Southern Arizona, including Old Pueblo Grille Alvernon and McMahon's Prime Steakhouse.
