Ciao, Lé Fresca
Chef Marco Butturini has created magic in many popular Birmingham kitchens, including Highlands Bar & Grill, Chez Fonfon and Bottega. Marco, his brother, Luca Butturini, and Matthew Christe are joining forces to bring authentic Italian flavors to 2nd Ave.
Lé Fresca is officially open, and our mouths are already watering.
The Magic Oven
The Butturinis are from the Veneto region of Italy—home to stunning cities like Venice, Verona, and Padua. In addition to the traditional Italian dishes Lé Fresca is bringing to Birmingham, they also have America’s favorite Italian fare: p-i-z-z-a.
Their various pizza pies are crafted by hand before being cooked to perfection in this gorgeous brick, wood-burning oven that they imported straight from Italy.
The Food
Lé Fresca brings the taste and excitement of Northern Italy right to the heart of Birmingham. One glace through their menu and you’ll be grabbing your foodie friend and heading downtown.
We’re talking Prosciutto di Parma, Chicken alla Cacciatora, Margherita Pizza, Gnocchi with Pesto, Tiramisu… Ok, I’ll stop. But really—this is some good food, y’all.
Sounds Delizioso—Stop by Today
Trust us, Birmingham: you’re not going to want to miss out on this one.
