The team behind Birmingham’s Le Fresca is bringing another Italian dining concept to Mountain Brook’s Lane Parke.

Locanda Brasato will open this fall in the former Post Office Pies space at the intersection of Rele Street and Jemison Lane.

The restaurant is the creation of Chef Duaine Clements and Marco Butturini and promises “thoughtful, handcrafted cuisine and deeply personal hospitality.”

Le Fresca opened in 2020, serving authentic Northern Italian cuisine under the guidance of Nutturini, the chef and co-owner, a veteran of Birmingham restaurants owned by the legendary Frank Stitt.

“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,” Clements said. “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.”

Jackie Hollingsworth, leasing associate for Crawford Square Real Estate Advisors, said, “The team’s passion for quality ingredients and exceptional hospitality aligns perfectly with our mission to bring thoughtfully curated dining experiences to Lane Parke.”

California-based clothier Johnnie-O earlier this year announced its first Alabama location in Lane Parke.

A luxury mixed use project almost a decade in the making, Lane Parke opened the first phase of its retail portion in 2016, a year after The Grand Bohemian Hotel Mountain Brook, and apartments.

Lane Parke Phase II held its grand opening in 2023.

Anchored by Publix, Lane Parke includes high-end shops, restaurants and 257 luxury apartments.
