New Italian Restaurant, Locanda Brasato, Coming to Lane Parke this Fall
Lane Parke is excited to announce the upcoming opening of Locanda Brasato — a fresh new Italian dining concept from the team behind Birmingham’s acclaimed Le Fresca.
Set to open this fall at the intersection of Rele Street and Jemison Lane, in the former Post Office Pies space, Locanda Brasato will bring a bold, expressive take on Italian cuisine to the heart of Mountain Brook.
Chef Duaine Clements and Marco Butturini, the duo behind Le Fresca, reunite here as co-founders of Locanda Brasato. Together, they are crafting a restaurant that reflects their shared belief in thoughtful, handcrafted cuisine and deeply personal hospitality. Every dish will reflect the time, effort, and technique it takes to make great food — with results that surprise, delight, and invite guests to savour the experience.
At Brasato, the kitchen becomes a place of discovery, where Italian inspiration meets a more evolving and imaginative style. The dining room, guided by Marco’s unmistakable warmth and service philosophy, promises a gracious, welcoming experience from start to finish.
“Locanda Brasato is about the kind of Italian food that takes time to make and is worth the wait — food that feels personal and unexpected,” says Clements. “It’s a place where Marco and I can bring all the things we love about Italian cooking and hospitality to the table in a new way.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Locanda Brasato to Lane Parke,” said Jackie Hollingsworth, Leasing Associate for Crawford Square Real Estate Advisors. “The team’s passion for quality ingredients and exceptional hospitality aligns perfectly with our mission to bring thoughtfully curated dining experiences to Lane Parke.”
“This exciting addition to Lane Parke is set to enhance the local dining scene and promises to deliver a unique culinary experience,” said Brandon Cain of Retail Specialists, who represented Locanda Brasato in the transaction.
