Iconic Phoenix Italian 20 Hrs a Week and Over $170K in Profits
Business Description
Own a Phoenix Legend — 40 Years of Profits, Only 20 Hours a Week
What if you could own one of Phoenix's most iconic restaurants — one that practically runs itself — and still have a life?
This white tablecloth Italian institution has been packing tables since 1985. It generates over $170,000 in Seller Discretionary Earnings while operating just 20 hours per week — and it's closed entirely for six weeks every summer. That's not a typo. The numbers are real, and the lifestyle is even better.
Why buyers love this opportunity:
• Cash flow from day one. Nearly four decades of loyal guests, glowing reviews, and a reputation that does your marketing for you. Hundreds of near 5 star reviews already in place.
• A turnkey operation. Every recipe, perfected over 40 years of scratch cooking, transfers with the sale. The current owner provides hands on training to ensure a seamless transition.
• Low overhead, prime location. Strategically situated in a vibrant Phoenix neighborhood with below market rent — a combination that's nearly impossible to find in today's market.
• The ambiance is already built. A stunning wine room, full bar, elegant dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen are all included with the furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
• A built in community. Generations of families have celebrated milestones here. Tourists seek it out. Local press has featured it. You're not just buying a restaurant — you're inheriting a Phoenix tradition.
The owner — a deeply respected figure in the community — is ready to retire after 40 years of passion and profitability. This is a rare, once in a career chance to step into something already extraordinary.
Whether you're an experienced restaurateur looking for a proven concept or a chef ready to own your craft, this is the opportunity that doesn't come twice.
$170K in earnings. 20 hours a week. 40 years of goodwill. All yours.
