Last month, The Mele Group’s Oretta welcomed their new Executive Chef. A native of Sicily, Italy Chef Di Marco. Chef Di Marco was formerly the Head Chef of Capocaccia Trattoria and brings a wealth of experience in traditional Italian cuisine. Oretta’s new menu features Italian fare with a modern twist with 2 new addictions; a Southern Italian Degustazione Chef’s Menu and a gluten-free pizza dough option!
This lovely new Chef’s menu will be available during lunch and dinner hours for groups of four or more. To ensure dietary restrictions and preferences are considered, no two menus are the same! Chef Di Marco personally speaks to each table they serve at the beginning of their meal and provides you with a total of seven courses, a truly authentic Italian dining experience.
The new gluten-free pizza dough is made from a blend of gluten-free flour, potatoes and refined red peppers to offer a delicious and wheat-free alternative for dining! Called La Snella, meaning ‘The Slim’, the pizza dough has a light red hue from the peppers and can be substituted in any of Oretta’s mouth-watering pizzas.
“We are thrilled to bring Gabriele’s energy and talent into the Oretta kitchen to lead our team,” says Salvatore Mele, owner of Oretta and founder of The Mele Group. “His love of cooking and passion for the Italian way of life is evident in every dish he creates, the new Chef’s Menu we have introduced is a perfect example of this.”
