The latest venture to announce plans to move into the Brentford Project is Rottura.

This will be an all-day dining restaurant and café set up by MasterChef: The Professionals 2021 quarter finalist Elena Frattura and her twin sister Emily.

They hail from the Ealing area and Elena has worked at the Michelin-starred La Trompette restaurant in Chiswick while Emily runs a cake-making business.

Emily said, “The Brentford Project is such an appealing new neighbourhood with a fantastic atmosphere. To be able to open here is the perfect launch pad for Rottura, which reflects our passion for Italy and desire to bring a little of its food, coffee and culture to West London, creating the perfect place in which to enjoy la dolce vita.”

The venue will be in one of the High Street facing units of the development and take up 1,220 sq ft to provide 46 covers plus some external seating.

The food served will be Italian in emphasis using seasonal and authentic ingredients. There will be tray baked pizza as well as coffee and pastries.

The opening is planned for later this year and will add to a food and beverage offering in the development which already includes Sam’s Waterside and Sam’s Larder, as well as Pret A Manger and Gail’s.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.
