I am not sure what is up with chef Steven Schultz’s The New Red Sky and Luna Bar up at 2990 N. Swan Road, in Plaza Palomino. The notification on the place’s website says it’s closed for several weeks for customer’s “safety and comfort” during construction. But it’s said that for far longer than several weeks, so who knows.

Picazzo’s Organic Italian Kitchen, which has been offering up decent Italian fare and a slew of gluten-free options at 7850 N. Oracle Road for a while now, is also closed. Again, not sure if it’s for good, but the phone has been disconnected. Picazzo’s opened and closed more than once in the past couple of years.

Le Delice Bakery and Cafe at 7245 E. Tanque Verde Road has also closed for the umpteenth time. This place has changed owners several times, falling back into the hands of original owners Maurice and Nicole Cochard in late 2010. The phone is disconnected, and nobody’s home.

And, as mentioned earlier this week, Breathe, Drink and Design just off of Fourth Avenue has also closed.

  3. Luna Bella will be missed if it is really closed for good. It was a great stop near our office. 🙁

  4. @al tam
    us 1%ers will dine at various establishments in and about the foothills, we’ll be fine, don’t worry we have the $$$$$

    Way to sink to Al Tam’s level, that comment should not have been dignified with a response.

  6. Time to try some new places! I recently discovered Ilkyu at La Cholla/OG, really tasty Japanese food, fast, not too expensive but very well prepared!

  7. Red Sky, Luna Bella, et al, are closing. The place I work is currently buying their old equipment on the local aftermarket. Worked for the group nine years ago and it was poorly run then.

  8. I just found out that Jack’s Original BBQ on 22nd Street is closing on Aug. 28th–another fine restaurant closing its doors

  9. @ Rich Foothills Resident: We have a soup kitchen (outside) in my neighborhood. Maybe you would like to eat there occasionally. People like you disgust me.
