PHOENIX — Corso Italia, a new destination for Italian cuisine in Scottsdale, is holding a grand opening celebration next week.
The fine-dining establishment and market debuted earlier this year at 7704 E. Doubletree Ranch Road, east of Scottsdale Road, in the Gainey Ranch neighborhood.
The grand opening is scheduled to run from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring city officials at 2:30 p.m.
The festivities will include live music along with what is being billed as “culinary delights” and a “vibrant atmosphere.”
Corso Italia is more than just a restaurant
Chef Corrado La Macchia is the mastermind of the Corso Italia culinary experience, which combines upscale dining with a market that sells some of the same cheeses, pastas and sauces used in the restaurant’s dishes.
