Drizzle and peak hour traffic hindered no one as more than one hundred hungry guests filed into one of BGC’s hottest hot spots, Osteria Daniele. On soft opening mode for a couple of months, The Bistronomia Group (Dani Aliaga, Sergi Rostoll, and Uri Singla) then decided to go out with a big bang, inviting loyal punters and friends to celebrate the grand launch and get their fill of authentic Italian fare. Mr. Eugeniu Rotaru, the Deputy Head of Mission of the Italian Embassy, led the ribbon cutting ceremony together with owner-restaurateur Dani Aliaga and partner Anton Barretto. The best part of the night? The highly addictive mini porchetta sandwiches and non-stop Aperol Spritzers. Here’s a peek into what happened during the launch.
