One of Fort Worth’s most anticipated restaurant openings is all set to take place next week. 61 Osteria, the brainchild of both restauranteur, Adam Jones, and chef Blaine Staniford, will be open for drinks and dinner service in Downtown Fort Worth at 500 W 7th Street on January 31.
Both Jones and Staniford have created a menu that consists of wine and simple food while bringing traditional Italian food with a heavy focus on seasonality offering Texas ingredients with an Italian twist. This act of sharing ideas is what has brought the 61 Osteria team of chefs and sommeliers together, a release says.
“61 Osteria will focus on the traditional foods that come from all twenty regions of Italy so the variety will be quite interesting for our guests,” says Staniford. “Every plating houses the philosophy of Texas Ingredients with an Italian twist."
Some of the menu items being offered at this new 7,000-square-foot space include Atlantic Swordfish paired with eggplant puree, castelvetrano olives, and puttanesca sauce. Other food highlights include a “Snacks” menu section, which includes House Antipasti with citrus marinated olives with parmesan, spiced corn nuts, pickled vegetables and more.
The beverage program offers New World and Old-World sparkling, white and red wines by the glass and bottle, with an emphasis on Italian producers.
“Our wine list invites you to explore the variety of Italian flavors presented in our menu by region,” Jones says. “Think of native Italian grapes as protected agricultural products housed within designated areas of production. The wine list begins with a map of Italy for reference. You may use this to find wines that connect you to the foods and flavors you wish to enjoy. We focus on a couple of major areas within Italy: Piedmont, Veneto, Tuscany, and Sicily. There are also a great number of wines from Old World and New World regions.”
61 Osteria will only be open for dinner at first with lunch, brunch, and family-style Sunday Suppers to follow in the coming weeks and months.
