Seven years of business on the East End of Waynesboro made Basic City Beer Company president Bart Lanman do something he thought he’d never do again: open a full-service restaurant. Lanman, who has been in the restaurant business his entire life, told those around him he would never do it again, opting for more simple choices at the brewery that didn’t require waitstaff. Never say never.

Enter Patina Italian Inspired, Waynesboro’s latest culinary option with from-scratch techniques and high-integrity ingredients. The 60-person eatery with an upscale industrial feel features tables made from heart pine reclaimed wood from the ceiling next door and old sprinkler pipes making up the table legs. The chandelier over the bar nearby is made from an electrical conduit that was literally pulled from a trash pile and transformed into a contemporary 20-foot chandelier.
