P83 in Peoria is expanding. Here's a look at all the restaurants, plus 3 new ones moving in

Over the last decade, Peoria Eighty-Three, P83 for short, has gone from an ordinary street with some retail, restaurants and a movie theater to a noteworthy entertainment district.

The name P83 was created in 2010, and giant blue and yellow signs started going up around 2013. Now, West Valley residents know the area surrounding the Peoria Sports Complex as P83.

The district has recently gained a number of hotels, restaurants and a dinner theater. And it is still expanding, with plans recently announced to add three new restaurants along 83rd Avenue.

Here's your guide to every restaurant at P83 in Peoria.

P83, Peoria's entertainment district, is home to several hotels, restaurants, a movie theater and the Peoria Sports Complex.

New restaurants opening soon at P83

In summer 2022, the city of Peoria announced a project to redevelop more than 2.5 acres of land near the P83 Entertainment District. The land was previously used as a parking lot for the Peoria Sports Complex.

The mixed-use development will be next to the Peoria Sports Complex on the south side of West Paradise Lane, east of 83rd and west of 79th avenues, and will include three recently announced restaurants.

Fox Restaurant Concepts announced in June that it would open two restaurants at the new P83 development: Blanco Taco Cocina + Cantina and North Italia.

It was announced last summer that Postino Winecafe would be opening its ninth Valley location at P83's newest mixed-use development.

No opening dates have yet been confirmed.
