Proving that Newport provides the best in “location, location, location” – two heavyweights in their own respect have been rumored to be settling into Newport Beach in the coming weeks.  According to LA Weekly, the LA powerhouse pizzeria, ‘Pizzeria Mozza,’ the brainchild of popular Food Network and New York-based Chef Mario Batali and Nancy Silverton is coming to Newport.  Having opened their LA location a couple of years ago, Newport’s version of Pizzeria Mozza will take over the former Dolce Ristorante space at 800 West Coast Highway in Newport Beach.  To that we say, salute!

Also on the Mariner’s Mile section of Newport Beach, luxury electric car maker Tesla Motors is set to make its Orange County debut, says OC Metro. Tesla already maintains locations in Los Angeles and San Diego, and would join Irvine-based Fiskler Automotive of Irvine, California as a local, green luxury car option.
