“There is an energy about The Italian Job that can best be described as ‘veloce’, meaning ‘quick’,” explains Executive Chef Clifford Barratt. No stranger to the fast-paced, quality-driven food hall scene, Barratt brings his expertise in Italian cooking to the concept. South African born and trained, Barratt has spent over a decade honing his craft and building a portfolio of award-winning concepts including restaurant, retail and market concept, Old Town Italy in Pretoria, South Africa.
He continues, “Our chefs strive to deliver high-quality, fresh pasta at a grab-and-go pace perfect for a Food Hall atmosphere. We are thrilled to test this concept at Legacy Hall.”
