Italian standards

The addition of Borgata to Lara’s growing restaurant scene will help put the town on Geelong’s food map.
With chef and proprietor of 44 years’ experience behind it in Piero Volpe, Borgata aims to create a wonderful atmosphere with high standard service presenting authentic Italian cuisine.
“There will be no need to travel to Geelong. Lara can live and eat local,” Piero enthuses.
Borgata, translating simply as “suburban” will be a little slice of Italy, located within the expanded Lara Village.
“Working beside many talented European chefs, we have developed the culinary skills to prepare an exceptional meal and a keen eye for the flavours that we know patrons will enjoy,” Piero says.
“Food quality is assured with our use of freshly cooked meats, seasonal fruit and vegetable, homemade pastas, freshly made pizza dough, home-grown herbs and authentic imported condiments.
“It is this quality and authenticity that will set Borgata apart from all other local restaurants.
“I want to pour my love of food into the dishes I prepare, to provide customers with an exemplary dining experience of a calibre not currently available in the area.”
To complement the menu Borgata offers an atmosphere of relaxed elegance and authentic Italian culture.
Its family credentials are boosted with a children’s menu, alongside gluten-free options.
