THIS week, Petra Cucina debuts its flagship restaurant, Roberto’s 1020 Osteria, which offers authentic Tuscan cuisine at the Bangsar Shopping Centre.

Avid diners can savour over 90 dishes served across breakfast, lunch and dinner.

“I’m extremely excited to finally launch Roberto’s so people can have a real taste of Italian food through recipes that have been carefully crafted,” expressed chief executive of Petra Cucina, Roberto Guiati.

“We’ve all been through a year with many challenges, this launch marks how Petra Group aims to bring some hope, opportunities and employment back to the people,” said chief executive and chairman of Petra Group, Datuk (Dr) Vinod Sekhar.

“It’s also a way for the restaurant to show that Malaysians can stand up and look forward to the future where the sun always rises in the end.

“We hope that the service and experiences here at Roberto’s reflect what we at Petra are all about,” he added. – The Vibes, December 17, 2020
