The recent opening of the roof-top Birreria at “Eataly”– the enormously successful mecca of authentic Italian food – marked the latest presence of Lavazza with the Batali-Bastianich Hospitality Group. The relationship started with the Café at “Eataly”, to continue with the choice of Lavazza espresso and coffee for some of the Group’s renowned venues: Del Posto, Esca, Bar Jamon, Manzo (at “Eataly”) and Casa Mono in New York City; Tarry Lodge and Tarry Market in Port Chester, NY; and the soon to open Tarry Lodge Enoteca Pizzeria, in Westport, CT.
Patrons in those fine dining establishments can now enjoy the flavor and aroma of Lavazza’s best selection: Top Class, a full bodied, bold espresso with hints of chocolate; Gran Riserva, one of Lavazza’s finest blend; Tierra, the Rainforest Alliance certified 100% Arabica blend; Rotondo, a 100% Arabica with an intense flavor and persistent crema and the Gran Filtro coffee, one of America’s favorite Italian classic.
“We are thrilled that the very entrepreneurs who redefined Italian cuisine in the United States, and are committed to authenticity and superb quality for their customers have now chosen Lavazza for their restaurants”, said Ennio Ranaboldo, CEO of Lavazza North America.
“Lavazza is the perfect coffee to end a perfect meal”, stated Joe Bastianich.
