After opening his second Italian restaurant Grana in Piedmont Heights last year and overseeing a renovation that added a patio to his Decatur Italian restaurant the White Bull, chef Pat Pascarella is now poised to open Bastone mozzarella bar in the former Bocado space later this year.
Bocado closed in March after 12 years at its Howell Mill Road location. A reason for the closure was not provided. According to the website, the food menu for Bastone centers around imported mozzarella and cheeses and the hand-made pastas for which Pascarella is known, paired with wine and cocktails.
