Dine Italian, travel Tuscan: Roberto's Osteria's new journey begins in Kota Damansara
In the bustling culinary scene of Malaysia, a new chapter unfolds as Roberto's Osteria opens its second outlet in Tropicana Gardens Mall, Kota Damansara.
Spearheaded by the dynamic team of Vitalia Lifestyle, this venture follows the roaring success of their flagship restaurant in Bangsar Shopping Centre.
The grand opening, graced by the Italian Ambassador Massimo Rustico and Damansara MP Gobind Singh Deo was more than a mere ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Vitalia Lifestyle CEO Roberto Guiati said this marks a significant stride in the quest to deliver authentic Italian cuisine beyond the confines of traditional settings.
"We are not just opening another restaurant; we are expanding a vision.
"Roberto's is about bringing the heart of Italy to every table.
"It's about showing that authenticity can travel and thrive, even in the most diverse landscapes," he told Sinar Daily.
Unlike their fine dining siblings, Roberto's Osteria offers a high-end casual Tuscan dining experience, a concept that Guiati passionately speaks about.
"Our cuisine is a tribute to our Tuscan roots. It's about sharing a piece of our culture with every dish, every ingredient," he said.
Strategically located in Kota Damansara, the restaurant caters to a community known for its appreciation of authentic Italian flavors.
"Many of our Bangsar clientele come from here.
"We're here to satisfy their cravings, to create a Tuscan haven in their own backyard," Guiati shared.
The menu, inspired by Guiati's heritage and former head chef Paolo Cola's expertise, is a captivating blend of tradition and innovation.
Pizzas take centre stage, with guests treated to a live show of their preparation using traditional methods.
"We want to showcase the art of pizza making," enthuses Guiati.
Their commitment to authenticity extends beyond the menu, with ingredients sourced directly from Italy, ensuring every dish resonates with the true spirit of Tuscan and Emilian cuisine.
Local collaborations add another layer of flavor, maintaining quality while supporting the community.
At Roberto's Osteria, it's not just about the food; it's about creating an Italian experience.
"Dining in Italy is a celebration of connection, hearts coming together over shared plates.
"This is the heart and soul we want to infuse into every interaction," added Guiati.
With a stylish interior blending modern touches with Tuscan warmth and a menu brimming with culinary adventures, Roberto's Osteria in Tropicana Gardens Mall is destined to become a cherished corner of Italy in Malaysia.
It's not just expansion; it's an invitation to dine Italian-style, wherever you may be.
