Acclaimed Chef Returns to East Coast with Italian Dining
Destination in Atlantic City ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., May 21
/PRNewswire/ -- Celebrated chef Stephen Kalt will join Borgata
Hotel Casino & Spa's roster of acclaimed culinary talent with
the summer 2009 opening of his Italian restaurant concept,
Fornelletto. Further strengthening Borgata's position as a leading
dining destination on the East Coast, Fornelletto will combine the
experience of both an enoteca and an osteria, offering traditional,
regional Italian fare prepared with only the finest, freshest
ingredients, a hallmark of Kalt's cuisine. Fornelletto will appeal
to a broad range of tastes by offering an array of dining options
from quick casual bites to relaxed, multi-course meals, all served
in a lively, inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to Fornelletto, Kalt
will also open Roma, a fast-casual cafe offering pizzas, pastas and
Panini, that places the same emphasis on top-quality ingredients
and service. (Logo:

Bringing more than 30 years of experience to Borgata, Kalt has
received critical acclaim for his culinary concepts throughout the
country. In 2004, Kalt was tapped to be Executive Chef of Wynn Las
Vegas restaurant, Corsa Cucina where he received acclaim for his
Mediterranean-inflected modern Italian menu. Prior to opening his
celebrated restaurant at Wynn, Kalt garnered national recognition
as the co-creator and chef of the celebrated Mediterranean
restaurant Spartina in New York City. During its reign, Spartina
was named "Top 5 Neighborhood Restaurants in New York" by Food
& Wine magazine and earned two stars from the New York Times.
"I received much of my culinary education working in some of the
greatest kitchens on the East Coast, and I am excited to return
with the opening of Fornelletto," said Kalt, Chef/Partner of
Fornelletto. "Borgata has become a true culinary destination within
Atlantic City and I look forward to adding Fornelletto to the
property's esteemed Restaurant Collection." Kalt's menu at
Fornelletto is inspired by his time living in and traveling
throughout Italy. With traditional, regionally influenced cuisine,
Fornelletto will offer simply prepared dishes that use only the
finest ingredients. The menu will also highlight Neapolitan
specialties that are rooted in bold flavors and locally sourced
products. Guests with more adventurous palates looking to explore
new flavor profiles can enjoy Kalt's inspired use of rare
ingredients such as Mangalista pigs and sea beans grown in Oregon.
While the menu is comprised of authentic Italian specialties, Kalt
will also offer some traditional Italian-American options that are
guaranteed to be crowd pleasers. Highlights of Fornelletto's menu
include a fresh Mozzarella Bar serving flavorful varieties of
handmade mozzarella paired with salumi and fresh sauteed
vegetables; chilled and hot antipastas; a variety of Sfusi such as
Aroncini with Veal ragu; Neapolitan pizzas including the Prosciutto
di Parma with fresh Arugula; signature house-made pasta dishes like
the Neopolitan Carbonara with Spaghetti, Bacon and Fried Hen's Egg;
fresh Pesce options such as Diver Scallops with Grilled Radicchio
and Pancetta; and perfectly prepared Carne selections, including
the 16 Hour Lamb with Pencil Asparagus, Sea Beans, Polenta and Mint
Sugo. Kalt will work closely with Borgata's Executive Pastry Chef
Thaddeus Dubois, who previously served as the former White House
Pastry Chef. Together, they will create homemade gelati and sorbets
along with other traditional Italian desserts including Fresh Peach
Crostata, Bombolino filled with Chocolate Pastry Cream and
Raspberry Jam, and the ever-popular Tiramisu. Kalt will also
collaborate with Anjoleena Griffin-Holst, the property's Wine
Director, to incorporate a selection of regionally-based wines that
also maintain a great commitment to value. Fornelletto's wine list
will feature a "50 Under $50" section, reflecting the restaurant's
desire to accommodate all guests' palates and price points, whether
ordering wine by the glass, cortinos or full bottles. Roma, the
restaurant's cafe concept, will serve thin-crust Neapolitan pizza,
handmade pasta, perfectly grilled Panini, fresh salads, aromatic
espresso and delicious Italian pastries. Roma will remain open from
breakfast until late at night, welcoming diners throughout the day.
While Roma is meant for diners on-the-go, every item on the menu
will be prepared with the same high quality ingredients as at
Fornelletto. Many of these ingredients, such as hand-turned
artichokes, are not typically found in more casual restaurants.
Kalt will join Borgata's stellar roster of chefs and restaurants
including Wolfgang Puck (Wolfgang Puck American Grille), Bobby Flay
(Bobby Flay Steak), Michael Mina (SeaBlue, A Michael Mina
Restaurant), Michael Schulson (Izakaya - A Modern Japanese Pub),
Geoffrey Zakarian (The Water Club by Borgata) and restaurateurs
Marc and Greg Sherry (Old Homestead Steak House). Fornelletto and
Roma will be the sole Italian properties in the Restaurant
Collection. For more information on Fornelletto or Roma, please
