Arizona's Culinary Tour of Italy Goes Until 7/31

Italy Flag 4 x 6 inchBeginning two weeks ago, in celebration of Italy's 150th anniversary as a unified nation, multiple Italian restaurants in Arizona began offering special three or four course prix-fixe meals for between $20 to $50 dollars. From the press release:
With a population of almost 60 million and an area slightly larger than Arizona, Italy is a diverse nation boasting an equally diverse cuisine. The Italian food most Americans recognize — spaghetti with meatballs and eggplant parmesan — hails from the central region, but Italy's wide-ranging terrain and climate, long coastline, and neighboring countries have resulted in a delectable assortment of fare.

Here, you'll find a list of participating restaurants. Note, all of the listed restaurants are in the Phoenix metropolitan area and wine or beverages may or may not be included in the price. Your best bet is to call ahead for any questions you may have. Again, this birthday celebration is ongoing until Sunday, July 31.
