"Promenade Profiles" is a series that will examine the restaurants and retailers that are planning to open locations in the Promenade at the Virginia Gateway in the fall of 2013.
Among the restaurants opening next fall at the Promenade at the Virginia Gateway, the Italian restaurant La Tagliatella boasts a truly international pedigree.
The Gainesville location will be one of the first to open in the United States, as the European-based chain has more than 130 locations across Spain and France.
La Tagliatella launched its U.S. expansion with the construction of a flagship store in Atlanta in fall 2012.
In an Oct. press release, a company representative said, “The restaurant will offer genuine Italian cuisine in a relaxed-yet-distinctive atmosphere, including a center-stage pizza kitchen and a full wine and spirits bar. Guests will savor the genuine tastes of Italy on La Tagliatella's signature menu featuring traditional dishes including antipasta, insalate, lasagna, artfully crafted combinations of pasta and sauces and more than 20 unique Napoletano-style pizzas.”
The restaurant claims it is the many ingredients that it imports from the northern regions of Italy that give La Tagliatella’s menu its authenticity.
For more than 20 years, Europeans have loved La Tagliatella for its exceptional dining experience, incomparable ambiance and generous servings perfect for sharing, not found in other Italian restaurants.
"We're thrilled to bring this popular Italian concept to the United States," stated Mike Muldoon, president of La Tagliatella, LLC. "Europeans have been enjoying the unique cuisine and warm hospitality of La Tagliatella for the past two decades; now Americans will be able to enjoy them, too."
La Tagliatella first opened in 1991 and grew throughout Spain and France. The chain will expand throughout the U.S. in the next two years and has announced locations in Arlington, Va. and Germantown, Md.
