Next month, Westfield Citrus Park Mall will be debuting a new concept, Carpeneto Italian Eatery.

On May 6, the modern Italian restaurant will open to the public.

Located at the main entrance, the menu will include Italian cuisine staples like burrata, chicken piccata and an array of pizzas and sandwiches.

Gluten-free crust options are also available.

All sauces, meatballs and dough are made in-house and served fresh daily.

The casual restaurant will host several big screen TVs as well as some classy touches like decorative chandeliers and a custom renaissance fountain. 

An extensive wine selection will be available for guests to sample and sip.

Daily happy hours and live entertainment will be featured every Thursday and Saturday in the outdoor bar area.

Malls are really stepping their game up in the dining arena, and we’re all for it.
