NEW RESTAURANT FAST TRACKING ITS WAY INTO THE BRISBANE RESTAURANT SCENE
Announcement posted by M10 Collective 08 Dec 2017
LA STAZIONE Pizzeria & Bar now open in Railway Terrace, Milton
Milton has always been home to a strong restaurant scene and La Stazione is on track to complement the existing offer, with a menu that will delight Brisbane foodies.
Located underneath the new Milton Residences and right next door to Milton Station, La Stazione will serve up traditional Italian cuisine with a focus on sharing.
Restaurant co-owner Luca Giacomin says the menu has been created to give diners the chance to taste a variety of high quality Italian dishes at an affordable price.
“There’s a difference between sharing a meal, and sharing food.
“Sharing food emulates the big Italian family dining experience and allows guests to connect, bond and try more dishes.
“Share plates are now becoming very popular on Australian menus and with dishes on our menu ranging in price from $9 - $27 it’s an affordable and enjoyable option,” said Luca.
As well as the small and large share plates, La Stazione will also be serving authentic Pizza and Pasta dishes.
“Our pizza will be the same as the award-winning Pizza’s we offer at our Gold Coast Restaurant Cicchetti.
“In 2016 Cicchetti Gold Coast won Best Pizza Restaurant in QLD at The Savour Australia Hostplus Awards for Excellence - QLD Restaurant & Catering Awards, and we can’t wait to see if Brisbane diners agree with this win,” said Luca.
With such a diverse menu, it’s going to be difficult for diners to choose a favourite dish, but initial standouts will be -
Burrata di Pomodoro e Pesto (V)
Cooper Shoot tomatoes filled with creamy burrata cheese, pesto & black olive crumbs
Porchetta (GF)
Crispy skin pork belly roulade, apple chutney, red wine jus & sweet potatoes chips
Gnocconi della Casa
Goat cheese and chives house made gnocchi with chunky veal ragu & pecorino cheese
La Stazione is a collaboration between experienced restauranteurs Marco De Vincentiis (Cicchetti Gold Coast, Cicchetti Byron Bay + Local & Co Gold Coast), Luca Giacomin (Cicchetti Gold Coast + Cicchetti Byron Bay) and Sam Mustafa (Local & Co Gold Coast).
This is the group’s first foray into the Brisbane market and with such an experienced team, there’s no doubt they will make their mark.
“We chose the name “The Station” La Stazione because we have the railway at the back of the restaurant. The original railway was built in 1884 so we thought it would be terrific to acknowledge that history and include “since 1884” in our logo,” Luca said.
The restaurant has been designed by architect Jayson Pate who is the designer behind some of the Gold Coast’s and Byron Bay’s most recognisable restaurants including Cicchetti, The Fish House and Hellinika. Co-owner Marco De Vincentiis has worked closely with Jayson to ensure that the heritage of Milton Station is perfectly captured in the fitout.
“Theming and fitout of the restaurant also plays homage to the railway station history and in keeping with the theme, our staff will also be wearing station worker hats from the 1920’s.”
La Stazione kitchen is headed by Italian born Executive Chef Fabio Ricciardi who grew up working in his family restaurant in Modena, Italy and is most recently from Bianco Restaurant, Brighton Le Sands in Sydney.
La Stazione will be open for breakfast, lunch & dinner 7 days a week. Seating up to 70 people, the restaurant will also be available for functions and special events.
