Fiolina Pasta House is a Robust Feast for the Senses with Pasta Artisans at Work, Comfortable At-home-style Indoor and Alfresco Environs.

BOCA RATON , FL, USA, December 1, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — MICHELIN Star and James Beard Award-winning Chef Fabio Trabocchi of Fabio Trabocchi Restaurants (FTR) collection debuted his newest restaurant concept: Fiolina Pasta House in Boca Raton. Featuring Italian dining with a robust feast for the senses, pasta artisans at work, comfortable at-home-style indoor and alfresco environs, FTR’s newest 7,000-square-foot, 182-seat eatery is the first venue to open at Restaurant Row in burgeoning Midtown Boca Raton.

The concept was inspired by Chef Fabio’s family’s Italian farming heritage and his award-winning Sfoglina restaurant concept in Washington, D.C. that has been his personal ode to La Dolce Vita, “the sweet life,” and honors the craft of making handmade pasta. Sfoglina was named after the female pasta makers of Italy — known as sfoglinas — who carry on the tradition of making pasta by hand. Fiolina means “little sweetheart” in Chef Fabio’s native dialect. In bringing his culinary affection to South Florida, he felt Fiolina would be the perfect name for his first signature Italian pasta house outside the Washington, D.C. area.

According to Chef Fabio, Fiolina is not just an ode to Italian culinary heritage, but also a restaurant dedicated to South Florida and the wonderful community of Boca Raton, a city that Chef Fabio now calls home. It has been created as an instant classic: for people, celebration, gatherings, networking and socializing with an Italian flair.

Whimsical and Playful

Fiolina Pasta House’s whimsical and airy design, created by global hospitality design and branding studio EDG Interior Architecture + Design (https://edgdesign.com/), celebrates the craft of handmade pasta and authentic Italian cuisine with a vibrant, sexy and playful sense of style. The new venue is a veritable “theater in the round” that immerses guests in the action of the kitchen, and features an open exhibition pasta room, a Mozzarella Bar Kitchen, charcuterie station, pantry, and bar. Its brightly lit show kitchen with counter seating and a creatively designed cold station for salads and desserts further celebrate Fiolina’s culinary artistry.

An indoor/outdoor bar provides an energetic Italian welcome and features a generous 1,500-square-foot patio area that is adorned with a blast of red patterning and operable window walls. Its nearby intimate lounge, private room and various group dining areas (named in warm nods to Italian icons: the Sofia Lounge, Fiorucci, Vitti Veranda, and the Pacino, De Niro and Coppola Rooms) connect to an extensive wine room. The vintage-style tin ceiling and whimsical mix of bright fabric light fixtures highlight the core restaurant space; curated objects, art, fabrics, and colors complete the vibe with a playful point of view, an homage to Chef Fabio’s delicious approach to life.
