Highlights

Campo Italian Bistro & Bar, the modern Italian concept from Genuine Concepts at the northwest corner of Hayden Road and Via de Ventura in McCormick Ranch, closes after service this Friday, ending a five-year run at 8260 Hayden Road, Suite A102.

The closure removes one of Genuine Concepts' higher-profile dining rooms from the portfolio. The group also operates The Vig, The Womack, and The Little Woody. Campo opened in June 2021 and was anchored early by chef Alex Stratta, a James Beard Award winner, who later departed to open Belmont Kitchen & Cocktails. Genuine Concepts culinary director Jeremy Pacheco oversaw Campo until earlier this month, according to the Phoenix New Times, which first reported the closure. The Arizona Republic also confirmed the closing.

Staff are relocating to sister restaurants within the Genuine Concepts group. No successor tenant at the Hayden Road suite has been announced.
