IT’S a deep love of authentic Italian cuisine that lies behind Borgata, a quality addition to Lara’s growing restaurant scene.
Within the expanded Lara Shopping Centre, Borgata, which translates as “Suburban”, will reflect owner Piero’s 44 years’ experience as a chef and proprietor in the Australian restaurant industry.
“The vision I have for Borgata is a simple one,” Piero explains.
“I want to provide customers with taste, service, presentation and ambience that will make them feel like they have stumbled upon a little slice of Italy, right there in regional Victoria.
“Working beside many talented European chefs, I have developed the culinary skills to prepare an exceptional meal and a keen eye for the flavours that patrons enjoy the most.
“Food quality is assured with my use of freshly cooked meats, seasonal fruit and vegetables, homemade pastas, freshly made pizza dough, home-grown herbs and authentic imported condiments.
“It is this quality and authenticity that will set Borgata apart from all other local restaurants.
“I want to pour my love of food into the dishes I prepare, to provide customers with an exemplary dining experience of a calibre not currently available in the area.”
To complement the menu Piero envisages an atmosphere of relaxed elegance and authentic Italian culture.
“I want diners to see that quality extends to all facets of the business, while still feeling comfortable bringing their children for a nice family lunch or dinner.”
Lara’s continual expansion provides the support for a restaurant so unique to the area that patrons don’t always need to venture to Geelong or Melbourne to experience a quality meal.
Look out for Borgata being established soon in the Coles complex in Lara Village.
