New: Marco's Pizza

Former Rural/Metro firefighter Tony Citro opened a Marco's Pizza franchise last week at 6330 E. Golf Links Road. Citro has previous restaurant experience; hailing from Chicago, Citro says that Marco's compares to New York-style pizza. Unlike some pizza places that use pre-made dough, Marco's dough is made fresh every day; open daily from 11 a.m.; 747-3898.

Primavera Is Still Cooking

The summer-long Primavera Cooks! fundraiser for the Primavera Foundation is still going strong. Diners pay $125 (which includes gratuity; a portion is tax-deductible) for a multi-course dinner paired with wine. Coming up are Rio Café, Pastiche, the Cup Café, Cuvée World Bistro and Jonathan's Cork.

Also this year, Kingfisher is breaking with tradition with a brunch (on Sept. 14). Funds raised directly benefit Primavera's programs and services, helping low-income, homeless and at-risk people obtain self-sufficiency and find dignity in their lives. To reserve, call 623-5111, ext. 101. Check out the schedule online.
