Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Restaurant owners Martin and David Antonelli are getting ready to reopen Voltaire next week, on September 10, after their annual summer break.
The traditional French restaurant, located in Scottsdale, is one of a handful of local eateries that close down for extended vacations during the hottest -- and slowest -- time of year.
Seems like the entire Farm at South Mountain closes, too, although Quiessence is already back in action. On September 8, the other two on-site restaurants, Farm Kitchen and Morning Glory Cafe, will open their doors as well.
And by now, most pizza fanatics are aware of Chris Bianco's late summer break, now in effect. Pizzeria Bianco and Pane Bianco will both fire up the ovens again on September 15.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way.

Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
