B.B. Italia Bistro & Bar highlights Italian ingredients

and Los Angeles and nally to Sugar Land. He said he inherited a love for food and cooking from his mother preparing food for their family and his grandfather, who would make his own olive oil and tomato sauce from scratch. “It’s about family, the food is what brings [us] together,” Amato said. From the oven Amato said he loves to make B.B. Italia’s 20-layer lasagna and a new creation—his multicol- ored almond cake dessert with raspberry-infused simple syrup. From arancini to the oven-baked pizzas, meat- balls and chicken parmesan, each dish gives him the opportunity to showcase his abilities, he said.
Bruno Amato, executive chef at B.B. Italia Bistro & Bar, calls the kitchen his “second skin.” He joined the Sugar Land eatery in May 2023, he said, bringing his own classic Italian recipes to the menu. The eatery, which opened in November 2022, is a concept from Berg Hospitality Group. What’s special about it? What sets B.B. Italia apart is the New York-style Italian dining atmosphere and Amato’s commit- ment to serving authentic ingredients, he said. “I want customers to have the ‘wow experience,’ something that you will not nd in some other Italian restaurant,” Amato said. Amato’s more than 40 years of restaurant experience has taken him from Italy to Las Vegas
