Italy has invaded West Baraboo. A year after opening the American cuisine eatery Chomp, its owners have transformed the establishment into an Italian restaurant. Fratelli’s Neighborhood Italian Restaurant opens at 3 p.m. Friday.
Hailey Borota, who owns the restaurant with a silent partner, said she sees a niche in the local restaurant market for an Italian-style ristorante. “We were ready for something different,” she said. “You can get a great burger anywhere in Baraboo. “There’s just not a lot of places you can get a huge plate of pasta.”
