A new restaurants aims to transport diners to some of Italy's lesser-known — but still very delicious — regions. Concura Italian Bites will open later this summer in the same shopping center at Eloise Nichols and Bosscat Kitchen (4340 Westheimer Rd. #150).

Owner Jessica Biondi has been developing the idea for her restaurant for almost a decade, according to a release. An Italian fashion and design consultant, Biondi has filled Concura with a curated collection of furniture and other works from Italian designers such as a black and white piece by Ferdinando Scianna.
