Italiano’s Restaurant is slated to open its fifth location this summer in the Centre at Gene Campbell retail center in New Caney, retail center owner Jack Gross confirmed March 21.

Permitting is the final step before construction on the location can begin, but buildout is expected to begin soon, Gross said. The location was originally announced in October and initially estimated to open in early 2025, as previously reported by Community Impact.

Italiano’s offers dishes such as pizzas, calzones, soups, pastas and seafood, according to the business’s website. The restaurant also has locations in Atascocita, Humble, Kingwood and Pearland.
