La Zozzona is the newest restaurant from acclaimed chef and restaurateur Richard Blais, and his first restaurant in Arizona. La Zozzona translates to messy delicious in Italian, with a menu inspired by Chef Blais' extensive travels throughout the cities and countryside of Italy. Focusing on housemade pastas influenced by the trattorias of Rome, wood-fired steaks that pay homage to Florence and Tuscany, and a variety of Cicchetti made to share, La Zozzona highlights Chef Blais’ innovative and playful take on Italian cuisine. La Zozzona’s cocktail program complements the menu by spotlighting Italian flavors and ingredients, alongside an in-depth wine list that highlights Italy’s most renowned wine regions.
