Building Up Jax is a weekly article series, posted each Saturday morning, that provides you with the latest updates on development and construction in the greater Jacksonville area.

Catullo’s Italian expanding into Nocatee

The popular Catullo’s Italian will soon expand into Nocatee.

Catullo’s announced this week that it plans to open its second location within Nocatee Town Center, in a unit located between Luxury Nail Spa and Palm Leaf Dental. The new location is slightly larger than their existing location in the San Pablo area, which debuted back in 2019 and quickly became one of the city’s top Italian eateries.

The Nocatee location is expected to open in late 2022.
